A recent study by MastersDegree.net found that Finland has one of the most demanding education systems in the world, following a 9-3-3 structure.
According to a report by Schengen Visa Info, the Finnish Entrance Examination is a challenging national exam that plays a vital role in shaping the academic careers of thousands of students each year.
Finnish students, who are high achievers in education, are facing increased stress levels, with around 40% of female students and 28% of male students reporting feeling depressed or anxious. Despite this, Japan tops the stress chart, with the shocking statistic revealed that 95.1% of female students and 84.0% of male students experience stress while attending school.
Information technology and international business logistics have emerged as the most popular fields of study in Finland. The study also highlights that Finland has the highest university acceptance rate at 17%, and that a remarkable 40% of the population holds higher education qualifications.
In addition to Finland, the list of countries with the toughest education systems also includes South Korea, Singapore, China, Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Africa, the United States, and Russia. This study provides insight into the challenges faced by students in these countries and highlights the dedication required for success.
