    The Finnish education system lacks high-stakes testing until secondary school. Assessment focuses on guiding student learning and developing self-assessment skills, measuring educational progress, work skills, and behavior. The final assessment is a portfolio compiled by subject teachers containing students' yearly reports and work from grades 8-9. In contrast, the Victorian system employs high-stakes NAPLAN testing from grade 3 onward and publishes school results on a public website for comparison. However, both systems aim for assessment to improve learning according to national frameworks and values.

    System
    Absence of High Stakes
    Testing- Finish students do not
    take a national, standardized
    high-stakes test until they
    matriculate secondary school
    and then only if they intend to
    enter higher education.
    (Hendrickson, K p. 33)
    The National Curriculum discourages
    competition, instead placing a focus on
    cooperation and helpfulness (Kasanen,
    Raty, & Snellman, 2003).

    The final assessment of comprehensive school
    is compiled by the main teacher for each
    subject, the final assessment is a portfolio
    containing students yearly reports as well as
    diverse evidence of students work from eighth
    and ninth grades (Kupiainen et al., 2009 cited
    in Hendrickson, 2012). The National Core
    Curriculum requires the final assessment to be
    nationally comparable and treat the pupils
    equally (p. 264)

    The purpose of assessment- to guide and
    encourage studying and self-assessment
    skills. Assessment measures a
    combination of educational progress, work
    skills, and behavior (Finnish National
    Board of Education 2010)
