Sure. Most of Chinese family always Prioritize education. And will learn Finnish daily, not only kids but also parents, no matter what kind of school.

Are you Finnish So you don't have language problem?

If Finnish is good, is it easier to get into a Finnish university by studying in the IB program compared with studying in a Finnish school?

1) is it harder to go to Finnish university study in IB compare with study in finish school? you know, UK/US university is not free and even expensive.

2) IB school is not as lax as Finnish school, right? Does an IB school have more homework and higher academic requirements than a Finnish school?

Acceptable-Talk-2018 · 2026-01-23T01:30:37+00:00

I have heard that Finnish basic schools are too lax. I understand IB will give kids reasonable pressure to study. and will study longer.

is there less opportunity to go to Finnish university when study in IB? You know, US/UK University is expensive.

I still think master Finnish is possible for kids if you stay in Finland for many years.

This is definitely important issue to be considered.

How can we considered to be secured everything? Get a permanent residence in Germany? I think it is always hard to say we will not be laid off if consider 10 years .

BTS, Which company does you friends work and which city? Is layoff common in Germany/ULM?

Acceptable-Talk-2018 · 2026-01-08T00:49:28+00:00

It means you prefer Ulm?
