In the 2025/2026 academic year, the City of Tallinn will open classes in five schools transitioning to Estonian-language instruction, specifically for children who speak Estonian at a native level.

Parents will decide whether to enroll their children in these classes.
Next year, Tallinn, in collaboration with Peaasi.ee, will introduce new psychologists into the city’s school system to support youth mental health.
