>> Had they not heard the phrase “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”?

I remember watching an interview with a Finnish teacher where they were asked this very question. Their answer was something like "Being best in the world doesn't mean we can't be better"

When you realise that Finland has little in the way of natural resources and it's economy is very much tied to the skills of the population it makes a lot of sense to be this focused on education.

Of course you can always be better. The question is whether you should flip the table with a radical experiment when you’re already number one. You don’t hear of many sports teams doing this. Businesses that try it risk a shareholder revolt.
