GERM vs. the finnish way

Pasi showed as an individual idea/ natural thought of him and a colleague, which they called a GERM - global education reform movement.

First of all do you know what a germ is? - It is like a virus, which make you sick. 

So the main symptoms for the GERM:

1. competition: A lot of people think that competition makes the learning effect better. A lot of people think it's possible to run education like buisness. 
2. standardisation: There should be everywhere prescription. It's easier for students/teacher to get high quality. Somebody from "outside" is making the prescriptions - staying outside is the reality
3. test-based accountability: It happens all over the world - schools get rewards when they bring good results. Good results for the publicity means more money!
4. fast-track teacher preparation: For example in USA: the schools take students from other faculties and train them for 6 weeks, then they can teach. Mostly the schools expect high quality, but the opposite happens.
5. choice: there is going to be competition if there are too many choices and prejudice of schools.

What does GERM look like? What do you think of that?

So what is the finnish way? How does Finland work this out?

1. collaboration
2. personalisation
3. trust-based responsibility
4. professionalism
5. equity
