In order to ensure the reader understands the reasons for Finnish students' high achievements in the PISA Scientific Literacy Assessment, this chapter describes the implementation of the national level science education policy through national and local level curriculum and teacher education. We highlight: (1) the science curriculum for compulsory schools and the Finnish approach to implement it through local level curriculum (2) the science teacher education programme, and (3) science teaching and learning at the school level and assessment.
