The document discusses education policies in Finland that have led to high student achievement outcomes. It contrasts the Finnish approach with common global education reform trends, noting that Finland has not adopted standardization, high-stakes testing, or consequential accountability. Instead, Finnish policies emphasize equity, flexibility for schools to develop curricula, creativity, teacher professionalism, and building trust within the education system. This alternative approach has helped Finland develop a well-performing, high-quality education system at a reasonable cost.
Mobile internet usage has surpassed desktop internet usage in both China and India. In China, more people now access the internet through mobile phones than desktop PCs. Similarly, in India mobile internet traffic now exceeds desktop traffic. This shift reflects the wider adoption of affordable cell phones in Asian countries compared to personal computers. Younger generations in particular see mobile phones as their primary gateway to the internet. Looking ahead, mobile internet usage in Asia is projected to continue growing rapidly for the next few years as smartphone adoption increases.

Digital dedication, how to survive, 141111mrichardsson
This document provides tips for designers on how to survive financially by starting their own personal brand or business. It outlines the benefits of building an online personal brand through social media storytelling, as this gives designers better job opportunities and lowers risks for producers. Designers are encouraged to consider selling their own products through retailers, a personal website, Etsy, or the Nordic Design Collective, as e-commerce is a large growing market. Overall, the document advises designers to pursue their own brand by being brave and prepared for the financial ups and downs.
This document discusses two types of "digital fault lines" - access fault lines and trust fault lines. Access fault lines refer to the global uneven access to digital technology and connectivity. Efforts are being made to reduce this digital divide and connect the next billion users, including building new infrastructure. While mobile access has helped increase connectivity, many challenges remain. Trust fault lines refer to issues with trusting technology companies with our data. There is a lack of accountability and responsibility on the companies' part. Increased certification of products and regulation of data use could help address trust issues and reduce the cracks in the digital fault lines.
