Finland's education story is important because it brings hope to all those worried about whether improving their educational systems is at all possible. Finland has a unique educational system because it has progressed from mediocrity to being a model educational system and «strong performer» over the past three decades. If Chile intends to follow the Finnish Way and listen to successful international experience from other countries, there is no better lesson than investing systematically and wisely in enhancing equity in education. This conference paper offers a discussion to all those worried about whether improving their educational systems is at all possible. The United States, England, Sweden, Germany, and Chile, to mention just a few, are among those where public education is increasingly challenged because of endemic failure to provide adequate learning opportunities to all children.
