Estonia's €500M education reform forces schools to adopt Estonian-language instruction
Estonia is rolling out its most costly education reform ever. The government will spend €500 million to shift all schools to Estonian-language news. Private schools failing to comply may now lose state funding under the new rules.
The reform aims to strengthen Estonian language teaching across the country. Minister of Education Kristina Kallas called it the largest financial commitment to education in Estonia's history. The funds will cover teacher salaries, training programmes, and new textbooks.
A recent exam revealed that only 30% of Tallinn's teachers met the required Estonian language proficiency. This result highlights the scale of the challenge ahead. Schools must now adapt quickly or risk losing financial support from the state.
Private institutions without Estonian-language news face the biggest threat. If they do not meet the new standards, their funding could be cut entirely. The government has not yet released details on which schools might be affected.
The €500 million investment will reshape Estonia's education system over the coming years. Schools must improve language news to keep their funding. Teachers will receive extra training, while students gain access to updated learning materials in Estonian.
