芬蘭教育成功之道

In today's Metro, the columnist highlighted the differences in teacher's training and social status in Finland compared to that in other countries (western countries included).  I reckon it may be the most important element in the formula.  Can you imagine that a teacher aspiring to be a subject specialist needs to complete a five-year course and a master's degree?

I recalled Principal Lau of CKY had noted that only the 'best' students would, and could, pursue a teaching career.  And a teacher in Finland commands much respect and honor too.  I doubt it would happen in HK in the near term as it involves an overhaul of social values.

Anyway, I agree that certain references to best practices in Finland can be made for HK purpose.
