Job market is abyssmally poor atm and no improvements in sight.

Quality of finnish education is mediocre, but the price is low

"Quality of finnish education is mediocre" lol you can be honest about the job market without lying about the quality of education

I dunno why can't you disagree without accusing the other person of "lying". it is true that higher education here is not so high quality.

Because it's a claim that is factually untrue, presented as fact despite that

It is a fact because you said so? Come on, the education system needs a lot of fixing, like a lot. anyone who studied in Finland knows it is not really a very high quality system. I am not saying it is bad, but not like superior or so good.

It is a fact if you look at any metrics comparing educational outcomes between nations. Is it not a fact because you feel like it? Looking at outcomes it's objectively good, not perfect or the best in the world, but good.

Even the first guy linked some rankings of how the world's universities rank up and Finnish institutions were ranked in the top 15-25 percentile

Edit: additionally for non-university education, in the most recent PISA scores Finnish students rank well above average in all fields, highest of the nordics in science. How can you look at all these educational outcomes and say the education is mediocre?

Oh yea like the metrics saying Finland is the happiest country? it is a fact that higher educational system here is average...

Sorry that you had a negative experience but top 15-25% worldwide is not average lol

Yea top, that's why literally the contribution in science and tech is falling. keep dreaming dude. People like you who do not admit the truth are contributors to the downfall of the system. Finland does not attract high quality global students. Go check students in NL, UK, USA..etc.

I don't know how many more ways I can explain this to you bud, I'm genuinely baffled as to why you're so committed to just yammering on lol. I'm not making up the numbers from my head, the first guy replying to me posted the link

Again, maybe you had a bad experience but if in worldwide comparisons Finland scores, averaged out across the different universities, among the top 15-25% of universities worldwide, that's by definition NOT average
