What Americans Keep Ignoring About Finland's School Success - Anu Partanen - The Atlantic - The Scandinavian country is an education superpower because it values equality more than excellence. --Yet one of the most significant things Sahlberg said passed practically unnoticed.

Only a small number of independent schools exist in Finland, and even they are all publicly financed. None is allowed to charge tuition fees. There are no private universities, either. This means that practically every person in Finland attends public school, whether for pre-K or a Ph.D.
