Tallinn’s Mahtra Basic School will become the first municipal school in the city to offer a class based on the principles of the Montessori method of education.
The City of Tallinn, in collaboration with researchers from Tallinn University, is set to develop a scientific methodology for managing smart device usage in schools. The initiative’s primary aim is to decrease students' screen time both in class and during free time to enhance mental and physical well-being, improve academic performance, and foster social skills.
From February 24 to March 2, children and young people in Tallinn will have a variety of opportunities to engage in activities related to science, technology, arts, and nature during the school holiday.
The Tallinn City Government has submitted a draft regulation to the City Council, proposing a reduction in municipal kindergarten fees starting from April 1, 2025.
Tallinn is launching the “Ohutu koolitee” (Safe School Route) program to make the streets around every school in the city safer and more supportive of independent mobility for children. In addition to improving street safety, the initiative aims to enhance the overall quality of the surrounding urban space to encourage children to walk more and spend more time outdoors.
