How could the situation elsewhere be changed -- with teachers better respected, better qualified, or better paid?
Can it be a school's responsibility to enforce discipline?

Finns treasure education and they are natural readers. No matter is a 5 million population, the editorial industry does good with a language only spoken here. Plus, it is an asset to have Russia next door: It reminds Finns how low they can go if they don't invest in education and respect the laws.
It's nice to be here 🙂

The critical ingredient in the 1970s reform was "to decide it was better to push up the bottom level to the middle than to push the middle to the top."
Only a socialist government could have done that!
On the other hand you have the right wing systems which leads to "excellence at the top and mediocrity at the bottom." and a society of exclusion.

Finland.................. the only good thing ever to come out of finland was the mountain path to Sweden, Finnish girls are absolutely useless in bed, the great gold medal winning middle distance runner Lasse Viren was a blood cheat, draining his body of all blood and refilling it with oxygen charged blood the night before the race.
The war they beat the Russian in was because of VODKA AND SNOW

a friendly way. They do have an excellent education system and it should
be held up as an example to the rest of the world I think.
And, uhm, my experience with women from Finland is quite the contrary to
yours it would seem. He he... 😀
(Lasse Viren has been accused of doping, but he denies it and conclusive
evidence is yet to be presented. In any case, you can't really judge an
entire nation on one man's action - good or bad.)

A Social Democrat government can do that as well. And that's exactly what happened in Finland.
