Ciao,
vorrei sapere qualcosa sulle scuole finlandesi.......sono molto diverse dalle nostre? Cosa studiano? .....
luukas:
Il sistema scolastico finlandese (koulutusjärjestelmä) è strutturato su tre livelli:
PERUSOPETUS con la
peruskoulu che si divide a sua volta in
ala-aste (dalla
prima alla
sesta classe) e
yläaste (dalla
settima alla
nona classe);
TOISEN ASTEEN KOULUTUS (in tre classi) che si svolge nei
lukiot (licei) o nelle
ammattikoulut (istituti professionali);
KORKEA-ASTEEN KOULUTUS che comprende le
yliopistot (università) e le
ammattikorkeakoulut (istituti universitari professionali).
Al termine del
lukio gli studenti svolgono un
ylioppilastutkinto (esame di maturità... ooops oggi si chiama 'esame di stato')
Puoi anche leggere (in inglese) su questa
pagina com'è strutturato il sistema scolastico.
Qualcuno si farà avanti per fornirti ulteriori informazioni...

I bambini finlandesi iniziano la
scuola elementare a 7 anni, in Italia si inizia invece a 6 anni, se non anche a 5 anni!
Poi ho visto che in Finlandia si dà maggiore importanza all'
esame di maturità piuttosto che alla
laurea alla fine dell'università. Al conseguimento del fantomato
YO-tutkinto infatti si deve indossare il
lakki (ossia un cappello bianco con una lira sul davanti), poi si fanno le foto dal fotografo e una gran festa in famiglia... quasi tutti indossano il cappello bianco!

Ecco una cosina che mi ha inviato un giorno un'amica finlandese. E' un testo tratto dal suo libro d'inglese.
1. The age you start and finish school in Finland
In Finland, we start school at the age of seven. For the first six years we go to the lower stage of the Finnish comprehensive school and then we have three years in the upper stage. Sixteen in the minimum school-leaving age but most Finnish students stay after that in some kind of school.
2. The kind of school you go to
I go to the senior secondary school ['lukio']. More than half of my age group are in this kind of school. The rest go to different vocational schools or start working right away.
3. The cost of schooling
There are no school fees but in the senior secondary school you have to buy your own textbooks and materials. Of course we get free medical and dental services and even the school meals are free!
4. The length of your school
The senior secondary school in Finland in non-graded, which means that instead of having a fixed number of years, we have to complete a set number of courses. You have to do at least 75 courses to complete your studies. We can do it at our own speed and most students do it in three years although it's possible to do it in two or four years. The school year is divided into five or six periods and you do several courses in each period with tests at the end.
5. The subjects you study
In Finland there are lots of compulsory subjects although you can do shorter or more advanced courses in some subjects like mathematics. You also have to take a certain number specialization courses and then there are applied courses which are optional. Everybody takes at least two languages besides Finnish and there are some school that specialise in areas like art, music or sports.
6. The exams you take
We take tests at the end of every course and then finallly we take the school-leaving exam which is called the matriculation examination. It's made up of four to six [this isn't 100% true, I'm planning to do seven] separate exams in different subjects.
7. Where it all leads to
Passing the matriculation examination means that you can apply to university. However, for most subjects in the universities you have to take another entrance exam. There are also polytechnics and vocational colleges for students who want their studies to be more practical.

spero che chiarisca.
