[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could say that about McLean. Finland has very little diversity. It is easy to have equality when everyone is the same.[/quote] Finland is a bilingual country. School are either Finnish or Swedish speaking. They also have a minority of Sami speakers in the north The other ethnic minorities are the Roma. It is not a mono-cultural place. Increasingly the cities are becoming very multi-ethnic. This has not stopped its schools from producing results. Children are also not all from the same socio economic standing. Interestingly, there is a strong interest in language learning[/quote] Virtually every Finn is bilingual or multilingual. Finns have mandatory education in both Finnish and Swedish for at least three years. Finns are also far more likely to have some level of proficiency in additional non-native languages like English or Russian than American students are.[/quote]
