Some subscribers to Math-Learn might be interested in a recent
discussion-list post "Finnishing Touches" [Hake (2012)].
The abstract reads:
****************************************************
ABSTRACT: There have been several recent posts regarding the
evidently exemplary Finnish educational system on the discussion
lists Physoc at <http://bit.ly/JjCbfH> and Math-Teach at
<http://bit.ly/IJwwwf>. These threads were stimulated by,
respectively, Al Bartlett's Physoc post "Education in Finland" at
<http://bit.ly/HXVVAS> and Jerry Becker's Math-Teach post "What it
takes to cross the Finnish line" at <http://bit.ly/IegubS>.
Is this just Yogi Berra's "deja vu all over again"? - see e.g.,
"Could the U.S. Put Finnishing Touches on K-12?" by Hake (2005b) at
<http://bit.ly/IJiNW4 >.
Probably not, because material by evidently well-informed Finnish
writers is cited by Becker: "Finnish Lessons: What Can the World
Learn from Educational Change in Finland? by educator Pasi Sahlberg
(2011) - see <http://www.finnishlessons.com/> , and "What Americans
Keep Ignoring About Finland's School Success" by journalist Anu
Partanen (2011) at <http://bit.ly/JZpKB2>.

"The story of Finland's extraordinary educational reforms is one that
should inform policymakers and educators around the world."
Linda Darling-Hammond, quoted at <http://bit.ly/Jjsa2a>
"A terrific synthesis by a native Finn, a teacher, a researcher, and
a policy analyst all rolled up into one excellent writer. Pasi
Sahlberg teaches us a great deal about what we need to know before
engaging in national educational reforms."
David Berliner, quoted at <http://bit.ly/Jjsa2a>
