Ukrainian classes will gradually disappear in Estonia – media

As of May, approximately 9 thousand Ukrainian children were studying in Estonian schools. 24% of them received primary school education, and 64% general secondary school.

There are fewer classes for Ukrainian children in Estonian schools, where education is conducted in Ukrainian and Estonian. The Estonian Ministry of Education believes that Ukrainian children are ready to study with their Estonian peers, especially since the parents themselves want their children to receive a local education. Estonian broadcaster ERR reported this on Sunday, August 25.

It is indicated that there are two schools in Estonia – Räegu and “Svobody”, both in Tallinn, where children from Ukraine receive part of their education in Ukrainian and the other in Estonian.

Starting with the new school year, Räägu will no longer be open in the first grade, and in a few years they plan to close it. It is expected that Ukrainian children will be able to attend this school until the sixth grade. At the same time, in the fourth grade the language of instruction was changed to Estonian.

Another public school, Liberty, has about 530 students. In this school, 40% of lessons are taught in Ukrainian, and the remaining 60% in Estonian.

The future of the school is open for discussion. One of the ideas is to turn it into an international school where Ukrainians and people from other countries can study.

The chief expert of the general education department of the Ministry of Education and Science of Estonia, Hele Liev-Thalmann, said that in recent years there have also been some schools in big cities that have created a separate class for Ukrainian students. However, from the new school year there will also be fewer classes.

According to him, schools that teach Ukrainian students in separate classes believe that children from Ukraine are ready to study with Estonians in Russian or Estonian.

Liev-Thalmann also mentioned that in the past both parents and school management believed that the refugees would stay in Estonia temporarily. However, this opinion is now changing, and Ukrainian families increasingly want their children to receive a local education.

We remind you that it was known earlier how happy Ukrainian refugees are with life in the European Union. Citizens currently living in Germany, Poland and the Czech Republic were interviewed.

About 70% of Ukrainian refugees plan to stay in Europe. Almost half of Ukrainians work in European countries.
