5. Finland




Finland can be an excellent option to get an education in Europe. An excellent level of education attracts many students from all over the world, moreover, in most universities it is free. The exception is courses in English.

Many students are in a hurry to get a residence permit. It is quite simple to do: you only need to provide documents from the university and prove that you can spend 560 euros per month on living expenses. This amount is greatly underestimated and does not reflect reality, because depending on the chosen place of study, you can spend from 700 to 1,000 euros per month.

An interesting fact is that the training time is unlimited. You can complete educational courses in two years, or you can stretch this process up to 7 years.

All parents want to give their children a good education, but not everyone can explain what exactly this concept includes and why some students are successful, and some never find themselves in life.

For many parents, a good education is the education of a child in a good school, and then in a university. That is, the rating of the school and university, an in-depth program and a prestigious diploma become the key to an excellent education for a child. In most cases, this is true. If school teachers and the university program seriously require good knowledge and practical skills from their students, the child will receive this knowledge. When teachers do not treat their work properly, the student is likely not to expect a good education.

Much depends on the health of the child, because not every health will bear the heavy burden of a particular profession. In order to determine whether a particular person's state of health allows him to work or study in the chosen specialty, there is a so-called certificate of professional suitability for work / study, or form 086 y, which can be obtained at http://med-help-086-y .rf . Medical certificate 086 y is presented upon request to the place of work, university, technical school, college.

It is worth noting that not all students from prestigious educational institutions, and not every student of a good university will be able to achieve great success in life, to put into practice all the knowledge that they have been given. There are several reasons for this, the main among them is that the schoolchild and the student do not have the proper motivation to study well and acquire knowledge. Even while studying in the beautiful educational institution, the student can skip classes, not complete assignments, not listen to the teacher. As a result, the money of parents for paid education and tutors will be wasted.

Therefore, getting a good education consists not only of the knowledge and skills that teachers can give to the student, and not only of their competence, but also of motivation, the desire of the student himself to achieve heights in learning, to find himself in this life, knowledge of what exactly he wants reach. After all, sometimes even students with poor grades at school and university revealed great talents in themselves and sought to achieve more, expand human knowledge in various fields: science, literature, music, politics, sports. There are many examples of such people.

A good education is built not only from the knowledge that is taught at school, but also from the personal interests of the student. Only what the student is passionately interested in, what he wants to know with all his heart, can be put into his mind without memorization, easily and naturally. So, such knowledge will remain with him for a long time. It is necessary to look closely at what interests the child, what gives him satisfaction, what he is really good at. Perhaps it is this area that should later become his vocation.

Education is the starting step in the future working life. What do you mean by "good" education? A survey was conducted, the purpose of which was to find out the opinion of respondents about what they mean by the phrase "good education".


Total sample size: 1600 respondents.

Study population: Russian population aged 18 years and over.

Question: What do you mean by "good education"?

The opinions of the respondents were divided as follows:

Here are the most typical opinions of the respondents:

Prestigious university, prestigious faculty:

"The children of the elite hang out there. After all, success is 99% dependent on who you built a relationship with. If you don't have good connections, you're nobody."
(Manager for work with corporate clients, 44 years old, Moscow);

"If a person was able to enter, and, most importantly, FINISH a prestigious university and a prestigious faculty, about which they talk a lot, where they are afraid to do because of high competitions, then it is clear that behind all this lies a huge amount of work. And the result of work in studying at a university is just a good education."
(Foreign Economic Activity Manager, 23 years old, Minsk);

"A prestigious university, a prestigious faculty - this is a social circle."
(Manager, 23 years old, St. Petersburg).

Education that forms skills, key competencies:

"Work requires skills, practice. A good education is education, where a student spends 80% of academic hours doing laboratory work, practical exercises. A good example of this is the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Moscow State University, the Academy of Management and other universities.
(Director, 49 years old, Moscow);

“I wanted to choose an education that teaches self-education, but I can’t even imagine how this can be taught, but how to give a person the necessary skills and competencies (even for the same self-education in the future) I can and consider this the most important.”
(Coach, 33 years old, Moscow);

"A good education is an education that gives skills, knowledge that helps to work successfully in the future."
(Economist, 22 years old, Moscow region);

"Self-education and education that allows you to understand the direction of movement - "find the right vector", that's good!"
(HR manager, 39 years old, Moscow);

"The main thing, in my opinion, in education is to learn to" catch a fish ".
And the need for self-education for life (the period after receiving a diploma and employment) is inherent in very few people and is highly dependent on psychological features character of the individual, his temperament. But simply put, does a person have a "motor" that does not allow him to stop in his development.
(Assistant auditor, 36 years old, Moscow).

Education that teaches "self-education" and acquire knowledge independently throughout life:

"You can graduate from Cambridge and be an ass for the rest of your life. Graduating from a university is not the same as finishing your studies."
(Head of the supply department, 51 years old, Moscow);

"In all the prestigious universities that give a good education, you can't learn, but you need to study all your life. There are no limits for growth. Therefore, in addition to a basic good education, you need to be able to study on your own and have a desire for it if you want to be successful!"
(Financial manager, 40 years old, Magnitogorsk);

"The name of a prestigious university - it can help in life, but if you are essentially an idiot - in your future labor practice it will show up for sure. In my opinion, the institute only teaches how to use knowledge, and you will have to learn your profession for a very long time, and when you get into production after a university, in most cases you have to start learning the profession again. If a person is interested in his profession, he must improve himself all his life, constantly monitor everything new that appears in literature, in order to constantly be aware of everything new. This is usually combined with the high reputation of the university."
(Administrator, 52 years old, St. Petersburg);

"A good education is an education that provides quality training in basic disciplines, instills versatility and flexibility of thinking, the ability to self-study and is given in a university that has a good reputation, recognized in the world."
(Engineer for maintenance of magnetic resonance computed tomographs, 61 years old, Voronezh);

“As one of the philosophers said: “I know that I don’t know everything ...” An “educated” person, in my understanding, is a person who, receiving this or that knowledge, applying it in life, does not stop there, and only over the years it improves, self-educates. The main thing is the knowledge that remains in the head, and it doesn’t matter where you get it. And in prestigious universities, often unfortunately, children of highly paid parents study today. And they don’t worry much about their knowledge, because then "daddies will attach" .... "
(PR service specialist, 30 years old, Krasnodar).

Other:

"What is in demand in the labor market."
(Head, 37 years old, Moscow);

"If a person has a desire to learn something in life and become someone, then not in a prestigious university, but with good teachers without bribes, he will receive a "good education."
(Senior teller, 26 years old, Moscow);

"Often life presents us with such situations that we can only solve them ourselves, and no matter what education you have. You can achieve everything without a higher education."
(Office manager, 37 years old, Mariupol);

"Education that gives you the opportunity to get a good job." (Secretary, 22 years old, Moscow);

"You can get a high-paying job without difficulty."
(Technologist-expert in certification of agricultural products, 21 years old, Moscow).

What is a good education?

Education is the starting step in the future working life. What do you mean by "good" education? A survey was conducted, the purpose of which was to find out the opinion of respondents about what they mean by the phrase "good education".

Just some 20 years ago, in order to take a "decent", that is, a highly paid position, it was enough to have a good knowledge of English and a computer. Today, the requirements have become more stringent. Knowledge of two or even three foreign languages, specialized higher education, a broad outlook and deep knowledge of what you do - this is the usual list of requirements for a candidate for a position.

And where, one wonders, can all this be studied? At school? Do not make parents laugh with experience! They already know that even in the “coolest” school you can get to a novice teacher who is just starting his career and knows little. And he will learn from your child. There is a common phrase that behind the back of every doctor is a small cemetery. So behind the back of each, without exception, the teacher also has such a "cemetery". Doctor's mistakes lead to injury or death, and teacher's mistakes lead to a broken psyche and complexes.

They say that such errors are not visible. Lies - do not believe! So why are there so many insecure people? So many angry at the whole world? Sly, dodgy liars? Thanks to the one who, in a hurry, not on purpose, but walked through the children's soul with an asphalt skating rink of intolerance and arrogance, outright rudeness and servility to the powers that be.

What to do? Look for a way out yourself. Let's eat it together. The modern school is designed to provide basic education, and this is a minimum of knowledge. In addition, there are so many subjects in the lesson schedule that the child is simply not able to learn them. Reforms are ongoing. Their goal is to facilitate the program and enable the child to develop freely. This is on paper, but in reality the school works like a prehistoric juicer. All teachers demand, and few of them give the knowledge that will be useful in the future.

We conclude: if you want your child to receive a quality education, deal with this issue yourself. The first thing to do is to understand what the child is capable of, what his inclinations are, what he is interested in, and what he will never do well. Your first assistant in this matter is a psychologist, he will conduct a test and give his opinion. Do not blindly follow his recommendations. A psychologist is an ordinary person, and he, like everyone else, can make mistakes. But it's still worth listening to.

Now let's talk about getting specific knowledge. Where can you learn a foreign language? In any linguistic center. Of course, prices bite there. But, as always, there is a way out. These are embassies of different countries and their cultural centers. They, as a rule, announce a set of courses for adults and children twice a year. Free! And this is a huge plus.

There are also paid ones, they are intended for "advanced", for those who polish the language, and do not study it from scratch. In the same cultural centers, you can learn the customs and traditions of the country, learn folk and modern dances, cookery and sewing, the ability to compose ikebana and drawing. Choose what you like. And remember that in such institutions there are always grants for studying abroad.

Your child does not want to learn a foreign language, but is fond of the exact sciences? Then turn on the computer and go to the websites of universities. Associations and sub-courses work there, something like circles that existed in Soviet times, where schoolchildren receive a lot of information on their chosen profession and study in depth, for example, physics or chemistry. Of course, there is a fee, but not as high as that of a tutor.

And now everyone in the house has a free teacher. This is a computer. He is just capable of making knowledge on any subject deep and solid and broadening one's horizons. Teach your child not to play while sitting at the computer, but to work on it. Of course, you need to play, and communicate with friends, and do sports. This, just, no one cancels and does not try to replace it with constant study at various courses and visiting tutors. But the main task is to accustom the child to the idea that the computer is not entertainment, not a toy, but an assistant and teacher.

What happens? Quality education without self-education, without self-improvement is impossible? That is exactly how it works. Remember the famous: "The salvation of the drowning is the work of the drowning themselves." However, very true words! Do you want to get a quality education? Learn! And do it constantly.
