Finland's education system is constantly explained as an example in our country (Turkey). And the necessary studies are also exhibited, but unfortunately we have not yet reached the desired level. I think one of the most important problems is the family.
Also, the education system you have proposed is really remarkable. It is being implemented in some vocational high schools. Even successful students grow up and contribute to the country.
Vocational high schools are good examples and it should continue for all kinds of studies, where people work alongside their education, applying what they learn daily to their job and in real-world context.
