[0:00]Hello.
[0:09]Well we are trying to solve the problem that teachers are alone in their work. And we see that when two or three or four teachers work in co-operation. they can share their knowledge. No teacher is able to know everything.
[0:44]Sometimes they can choose if they want to work in groups or if they want to have a lesson which is given by a teacher. And we believe that when we give responsibilities of learning to our pupils, they are more motivated and they become more self-regulated.
[1:12]Well a lot of attention has been paid to acoustics. So we have these kind of special acoustic roofs. We have lots of carpets and we have lots of curtains. We have lots of soft materials. Also our teachers they trust our children to do what they are assigned to do. It's a cultural thing. I think the trust in Finland is throughout the whole system. We get to decide how we want to teach. Of course we have certain things we have to teach and we follow the curriculum but we can choose our own materials. We have a lot of freedom in our teaching.
