The success of schools in Finland has been praised in recent times, with teachers attaining high status in the community and students topping international test results. Charles Sturt University’s (CSU) School of Education in Albury-Wodonga will host an informal and informative question and answer session with guest Dr Tuija Turunen, a senior lecturer in teacher education with Finland’s University of Lappland, to address questions on the Finnish model. A former teacher and teacher educator in Finland, Dr Turunen is a research fellow at CSU. She also has a son attending an Australian high school for the past three years. Dr Turunen will present her insights into both school systems. The informal Q & A session is open to the public and will start at 5.30pm on Monday 5 November in the CD Blake Lecture Theatre, CSU in Albury-Wodonga, off Elizabeth Mitchell Dive, Thurgoona.
