While Finland's education system is often praised internationally, a distinct academic divide exists between native Finnish students and their immigrant counterparts. This research combines quantitative analysis of national exam results—specifically those of the 2018 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA)—with qualitative feedback from educators and immigrant student experiences. The study identifies key factors contributing to this divide, including socio-economic differences, language barriers, and family and cultural dynamics. The findings emphasize the need for more inclusive educational strategies and suggest tailored interventions to ensure that all students in the Finnish education system have equal opportunities for success.
