This article is partly true. The headline is not. The changes came into effect few months ago (planned since 2012). Major changes include: 1) Some topics are introduced earlier (like Swedish, our second language) 2) More topic based learning. Learn multiple subjects for example during a project. (So subjects still remain) 3) Change of roles. Teacher should be seen more of a guide and the student should be more active in how the learning should take place. 4) More IT. For example programming is introduced in first grade. 5) "Extensive learning". Learn about learning, thinking, communications, taking care of yourself, working, entrepreneurship, sustainable future etc. Source: I'm Finnish and checked from the official "Board of Education" site (in Finnish) http://www.oph.fi/saadokset_ja_ohjeet/opetussuunnitelmien_ja_tutkintojen_perusteet/perusopetus http://www.oph.fi/saadokset_ja_ohjeet/opetussuunnitelmien_ja... Edit: Subjects are not completely gone but there will be more topic based projects that combine multiple subjects
