Abstract: this article reveals the initial social, socio-psychological, socio-anthropological aspects of the Finnish secondary school. The authors pay great attention to the cornerstone idea of equality, which is the leading component of the Finnish school and society as a whole. The article analyzes the polemical discourse that has developed around the phenomenon of the success of Finnish education. The authors offer a classification approach to the analysis of the research space of educational practices in modern Finland. Special attention is paid to the justification of the role and place of learner and teacher culture in the innovative transformations in connection with modern school reforms in Finland. The strategic directions for the development of practice-oriented and project-based educational technologies in the Finnish school community during the reform period are also constructively disclosed in this article.
