Improve Investment in Human Capital, Education, Finland Ambassador Tells FG - THISDAYLIVE

Pulkkinen added: “Education is basically dependent on the level of education of the teacher. So the country should focus on how to train capable teachers for the future.

“If you want to compete and have the kind of skills that will attract foreign investors; if you want to have a future, then the government needs to increase funding for education.
