Support for Low-Performing Schools. Prior to the 1970s, Finland’s education system was characterized by few high-performing and many low-performing schools. Education was inequitable, and the achievement gap ran across socioeconomic lines. When Finland began its educational reforms, this was one of the central problems it set out to address.
The GO 4 Schools homework module has been developed directly from schools' requests to harness the core functionality and have a greater impact on the quality of Learning and Teaching. The success of our Parental Engagement module has enabled schools to have greater communication between parents and students across a range of key data, including student progress, attendance and behaviour.
