Chytrozemě / Tajemství úspěchu zemí s nejlepším vzděláváním na světě – Crehan Lucy (2022)

What are the secrets of the countries with the best education systems in the world? And how can we achieve that here? --- An essential book for teachers, parents, and students who care about education. Also for those who were dissatisfied with our school system when they themselves sat in school desks. Lucy Crehan was frustrated as a teacher by the constantly changing government policies, supposedly based on experiences from the best educational systems. She spent months in Finland, Canada, Japan, China, Singapore, and New Zealand with teachers in schools. She takes us on a tour of these educational systems, paints a picture of school life, makes sense of theories, facts, and numbers through the stories of real teachers and children, and encourages us to reflect on the goals of education in light of these different possibilities. How is collective responsibility nurtured in Japan, and is it important? Why do we invest so much money in education, yet the result is average? What accounts for the success of countries with the best education in the world? What can we do to ensure our children's education is meaningful? Why do Finnish students achieve the best results by far?
