- Title
CELEBRATING EDUCATION AS A CIVIC IDEAL.
- Authors
MATTHEWS, KELLY
- Abstract
The article focuses on the celebration of education, particularly the Finnish tradition of Vappu, where students and citizens alike wear graduation caps to commemorate their academic achievements. The author advocates for a similar year-round celebration of education in other countries, suggesting that fostering a sense of pride and joy in learning could positively impact student motivation and dropout rates and encourages carrying the spirit of commencement throughout the academic year.
