TED TALKS EDUCATION

Hosted by John Legend, this special focused solely on education marks the first TED project produced specifically for television.
Highly respected and capable teachers, virtually no standardised tests and a strong social safety next help explain why Finland consistently rates among the best public education systems in the world.
Starting age is 7, days last no longer than 5 hours (which typically start at around 9-9:30 AM), 15 minute breaks in between lessons, segregation by one's ability is illegal, one formal examination in a student's entire primary and secondary school career; yet Finnish students have been proven to be one of the highest scoring group of individuals worldwide in regards to academics, so surely Finland must be doing something right.
