Most people know about Finland, the country with the best education curriculum in the world. Finland has even become a curriculum reference for other developed countries like Indonesia. But some people always ask, “Why Finland can be the country with the best education curriculum but they always give a little homework?”

Indonesia always gives its best education curriculum and homework to improve students' critical thinking skills but it never works and the big why is coming to us. Why Indonesia can’t be Finland? Indonesia has made many efforts to improve our education curriculum quality by giving students homework, examinations, and school time.

Then, Finland just gives their student little homework, examinations, and school time but why can Finland win the best education curriculum nomination in this world? In capacity, Indonesia won a capacity of curriculum but why Indonesia can’t be the country with the best education curriculum?

First of all, an education curriculum doesn’t need the capacity of the curriculum but the quality of the curriculum. The answer to the big question about why Finland’s education curriculum is the best is that Finland prioritizes the quality not the capacity of its curriculum.

Indonesia’s big mistake is too much prioritizing the capacity of curriculum then the quality. Too many subjects, too much memorized theory, too much homework, too much examination, and too much school time aren’t conducive to the student getting it all. It’s important to build a comfortable study atmosphere for students to enjoy the class. Don’t give too much theory, let them explore their potency, even if it’s about sport or art.

Secondly, the teacher quality it’s important too. Normal thing in Indonesia to see teachers who teach that do not match their educational history but in Finland, the qualification of teachers it’s the most important. Teachers in Finland are highly trained based on mandatory master's degree requirements. A Master's degree is a mandatory requirement in Finland ‘cause this will make learning more quality with quality teachers. Teacher qualifications are needed to support effective and conducive learning.

Thirdly, a same-chance education curriculum. In Indonesia, education access is still very limited and this is a major problem in educational development in Indonesia. But in Finland, the main goal of Finland’s education system is universal education of good quality. What this means is that the same free, inclusive, and comprehensive education is provided to all citizens and that still cannot be realized in Indonesia. The last, the technology is the key! Finland is a developed country that strongly supports technology facilitation in the education segment. The right use of technology supports convenience in the Finland education curriculum.

So, education curriculum is important to improve education quality in a country. The country with the best education curriculum will produce good human resources. Education curriculum it’s not about the capacity of the curriculum but it’s talks about how productive and effective the education curriculum to improve students’ skills.

The reason why Finland is called the country with the best education curriculum in the world is that Finland prioritizes productivity and effectiveness rather than the capacity of the education curriculum. Indonesia has to learn the way Finland got the solution to the education curriculum problem.
