Preserving Education in Rural Areas through Innovative Solutions

Schools in Finland, especially in rural areas, are facing challenges due to declining birth rates and migration to cities, leading to the closure of hundreds of schools. To attract and retain local students, some schools offer incentives like free driving lessons and cash scholarships. A Finnish startup called Finest Future, founded by an entrepreneur with experience in building the Angry Birds brand for Rovio, is driving the initiative to bring foreign students to study in Finnish schools, as it's not a government-led effort.
