Proceeding contribution from Lord Knight of Weymouth (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.
Education Bill
My Lords, when the noble Baroness met her friends from Finland, I wonder whether she had similar answers to the last time I met the Finnish Education Minister. I asked her why Finnish schools were so successful. She answered that it was because of a culture within the country that loves learning, which is demonstrated not only in the widespread membership of public libraries. She also told me that in Finland it used to be that you were not allowed to get married unless you could prove that you could read. Does the noble Baroness think that that is a good idea for us to copy from Finland?
