With John Graham – Published in Professional Voice, 10(1), pp. 46-53, summer 2014

JG Finland is seen to have one of the best schooling systems in the world. What elements of the Finnish system do you think make the difference and elevate the performance of its students above those in many other countries?

PS Finland may be seen as having the best school system in the world by foreign media and some others but certainly not by many Finns. When the OECD released its first PISA results in 2001, it struck many by surprise. Finns were among those, because Finland had never intended to be high in the PISA league tables. The way education is seen in Finland — among educators and citizens alike — is very different to how it is seen in many other places where nations compete against each other to see who will be the best. For the Finns, what matters in education is that all children have opportunities to succeed and that each of them feels happy and well in school.

UNESCO: Learning to Be – The world of education today and tomorrow

Learning to Be: The world of education today and tomorrow

The Faure Report builds on the two key ideas of lifelong education and the learning society. It claims that “learning is a process that lasts a lifetime, both in its duration and its diversity”. While lifelong education is considered to be the cornerstone of educational policies, the learning society is seen as a strategy aimed at committing society as a whole to education.

UNESCO: Four Pillars of Learning – Bốn Cột Trụ Giáo Dục

~ Trần Đình Hoành ~ 3 bình luận

The four pillars of learning

The four pillars of learning are fundamental principles for reshaping education:

Learning to know: to provide the cognitive tools required to better comprehend the world and its complexities, and to provide an appropriate and adequate foundation for future learning.

Learning to do: to provide the skills that would enable individuals to effectively participate in the global economy and society.

Learning to be: to provide self analytical and social skills to enable individuals to develop to their fullest potential psycho-socially, affectively as well as physically, for a all-round ‘complete person.

Learning to live together: to expose individuals to the values implicit within human rights, democratic principles, intercultural understanding and respect and peace at all levels of society and human relationships to enable individuals and societies to live in peace and harmony.

UNESCO: Visions of Learning

~ Trần Đình Hoành ~ Bình luận về bài viết này

Visions of Learning

UNESCO has long promoted a humanistic vision of learning based on principles of respect for life, human dignity, and cultural diversity, as well as social justice and international solidairty. This vision has been outlined in the two landmark publications, Learning to Be (1972) and Learning: The Treasure Within (1996). UNESCO is now building on these reports to rethink education in the current context of change, complexity, and uncertainty.
