This study addresses three questions: i.e., (1) under what conditions do ethnic movements create separate schools; (2) what influences the development of their pedagogical components; and (3) why is ethnic education more or less effective? Types of formal and non-formal ethnic education are typologized regarding degrees of ethnic control and degree of change sought. The Swede-Finn Movement is then examined as a 'defensive-' type case with, presently, high ethnic control and low change orientation. It suggests the need to study further how ethnic-movement education programs-as 'transforming experiments'-have contributed to change in social relations, movement ideology, and individual values in various movement configurations and settings
