[教育時評] 芬蘭教育 Education in Finland
Today, I had the honor of speaking to Leo Pahkin, a Councellor of Education at the Finnish National Agency for Education. We discussed education and politics and one key point was raised. What will our education systems do to prepare students for the future?

今天我非常榮幸的與芬蘭國家教育署的教育顧問Leo Pahkin先生交談。我們談論了教育與政治，其中有個關鍵點被提出，我們的教育制度能為將來做什麼準備？

In Taiwan, we are currently exploring the possibility of bilingual education in our public school system. In Finland, where multiple languages are already integrated into the curricula, current discussions focus on digital education, programming, and robotics. There are plans to teach children basic coding starting from primary schools, and Finnish educators are already attending international conferences on digital education to learn all they can. Is our country’s education system also preparing our children for the future? What are our priorities? How will our education system meet future economic needs and challenges? These are the questions to consider.
在台灣，我們正在探索公立學校制度雙語教育的可能。而在已將多種語言納入課程的芬蘭，當前的討論聚焦於數位教育、程式設計和機器人學。即便於小學階段，也有計劃來教導孩子們基礎的程式編寫，芬蘭的教育者也正參與有關數位教育的全球會議去盡可能的學習。而我們國家的教育制度是否也如芬蘭這般讓我們的孩子們準備好去面對未來？我們的教育以什麼為優先？教育將如何滿足未來經濟的需求和挑戰？這些都是需要考慮的問題。
