A Finnish lesson for Christmas

The Alex Salmond Show visits Finland, the home of Santa Claus, for its Christmas edition. This time, searching for an answer on why the Finnish education system has a track record of international excellence, despite children spending less time at school and less time on homework. Key Finnish educationalists explain to Alex that there is much more to child development than formal education in the classroom.

Former First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond hosts a new political chat program, ‘The Alex Salmond Show’, on RT, where he vows to battle the mainstream media narrative and take the news “out of the Westminster nexus.” ‘The Alex Salmond Show’ will take viewers inside the Welsh, Irish and Scottish parliaments, also looking at the government of Northern Ireland, not forgetting Westminster.
