YLE: Drastic rationalisation of university entrance exams is afoot in Finland
THE FIRST DRAFT of a reform proposal that would dramatically reduce the number of university entrance exams was unveiled in Finland on Thursday.
YLE on Thursday revealed that the draft proposal would slash the number of entrance exams to universities in the second joint application period that is organised each spring from 120 to 9. The reform would put an end to cramming for entrance exams and enable applicants to simultaneously apply to several fields in different universities.
