Abstract

The Finnish education has received a lot of attention after decades of relatively high performance in international student assessments. Even though the Finnish education system has received a lot of interest, very little attention has been paid to the model of the Finnish educational assessment system and the lack of standardised measurement and control. Thus, these factors in large are contributing to the overall functioning of the system. In this chapter we provide a historical overview of the development of the assessment model in Finland and further give a description of its current form. We also give an example of the Finnish PISA 2012 oversampling and its results. Finally, we make some critical suggestions on how the system could be improved without adding unnecessary controlling elements to it.
