I wrote a post a bit ago about some aspects of the Finnish education system that a contributor to the Wall Street Journal highlighted. The Finnish approach has been studied fairly extensively since high school students perennially perform well in international testing, however, so do Dutch students. Open Education has a four-part series of posts that are worth checking out concerning education in the Netherlands:
Education in the Netherlands: Another High Performing Country
Education in the Netherlands: Testing, Tracking and Results
Dutch Secondary School Options: A Model for the US?
The Netherlands: A Proper Emphasis on Vocational Education
