"This will decide your entire future" — English-speaking kids hampered by
Finnish education bottleneck

A bottleneck in the Finnish education system is leaving some 16-year-olds

education, according to figures from the City of Helsinki.

in International Baccalaureate classes and 60 spots in a bilingual
Finnish-English stream.
