Everybody talks about Finnish schools, but this country is at the top of Europe today.

The article discusses Estonia's highly effective education system, which has consistently ranked among the best in Europe according to recent PISA tests. In the 2022 PISA results, Estonian 15-year-olds outperformed the OECD average in mathematics, reading, and science. The country's success is attributed to factors such as formative assessment methods, teacher autonomy, and a focus on student development rather than just grades. While Estonia does not hold the top global position, Singapur leads in all three areas, it stands out as one of the most successful European examples. The article highlights how Estonia uses both numerical and descriptive grading systems, emphasizes feedback for students, and grants teachers significant freedom in curriculum delivery.
