What's the final purpose of studying?"To use what you learn,"we are often told.Now students in Finland (芬兰) will get a taste of this in their new classes.It's reported on March 26th that Finland worked out a new education plan.By 2016,classrooms will be turned into meeting rooms,students there will study topics (话题) they are interested in.
For example,if the topic is about the European Union (EU欧盟),teachers will show students the map of Europe,the place of the EU's member countries and the weather there.Also,students will look further into the histories of these countries.Then another topic in classes is about"dining hall services",students will play cashiers (收银员) to practice their math skills and learn different languages to serve foreign guests.They will also learn to better communicate with guests to make sure that they have a nice experience.
All schools for students aged 7to 16will have at least one of these classes.They will be taught for several weeks a year or longer.The new teaching methods will help children prepare for the future with the skills that are needed for today and tomorrow.
The changes clearly show growing calls (呼声) around the world for education to develop personalities (个性),communication skills,rather than just pushing children through"exam factories".
