AB Finland, Spain and Brazil are three very internally complex and heterogeneous realities, with contradictions and permanent reforms to their education systems. In a first quantitative approach each country can be placed in a continuum ofthe education system that goes from most successful in terms of reaching a highlevel of education all across the population, in conditions of equity and facilitatingyouths’ incorporation into the labour market, to least successful, with Finland andBrazil occupying either end of the spectrum respectively and Spain occupying anintermediate situation. Although there are differences, they share certain tensions intheir respective education systems. On the one hand, about the conception of education, ranging from more utilitarian, human capital theories, to the more humanistand civic-minded perspective. On the other hand, the challenge of comprehensiveness between an academic and a vocational path. In addition, there is also the challenge of improving the education level of the population while also improvingequality. The tensions differ from country to country, since their education traditions and cooperation and conflict strategies between the education agents, with varying levels of resources and different alliances with political actors vary, as doesthe social consensus.
