Hey there!

Yes, some countries and schools have successfully implemented the Mastery learning technique. Mastery learning is an educational approach that focuses on ensuring that students have thorough knowledge of a subject before proceeding to the next level. This method is different from traditional learning models that focus on preparing students to pass exams.

Finland is one country that has implemented the Mastery learning technique for a long time now. Finnish schools are known for their high-quality education system, where students are encouraged to take their time to master a concept before moving on to the next one. This approach has seen Finland's education system rank among the best in the world.

Another successful implementer of Mastery learning is the Summit Public Schools in California, US. The schools implemented a system where students go through a set of checkpoints before proceeding to the next level. The checkpoints serve as an indicator that the student has mastered the concept, and they are ready to move to the next level. Summit Public Schools have seen impressive results since implementing the Mastery learning technique.

In addition to Finland and Summit Public Schools, Mastery learning has also been implemented in other countries and schools with successful results. These include Singapore, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

Mastery learning is a technique that demands a lot of time and resources from educators and learners. However, the results are worth the effort. It is an approach that allows students to learn at their own pace and ensure that they have a thorough understanding of each subject before moving on.

I hope this helps answer your question.

Best regards.
