William Doyle - Teaching in the Global Pandemic - Finland

In Finland, when COVID-19 hit in March, the government swiftly transitioned to remote learning. This was successful due to skilled teachers and resource availability. By spring, students returned to in-person classes with minimal issues due to low infection rates. As of November 2020, most Finnish children attend school in person, with only a small percentage learning remotely. The country maintains low infection rates, allowing normal schooling activities. Key lessons include fair funding, resource equity, and valuing every child equally.
