In #Finland by law every student must have access to professional student support: 1 School Social Worker 1 Psychologist 1 Nurse 1 Visiting Doctor 1 Student Counsellor for every 750 pupils in a #school . My observation: it means teachers get to teach and students learn

Heartbreaking. A high court order decided today that a pupil must be taken from their parents immediately+move from the county;most staff didn't get a chance to say goodbye. We didn't even know about the hearing until midday. Social Systems that are not joined up cause harm.

One of the biggest issues children and teachers grapple every day with is the impact of smartphones in schools. So many schools have already done an amazing job in banning mobile phones. Now, we’re changing the guidance so other schools follow their lead.
