Tallinn Education Department and international programming school kood/Jõhvi are launching a partnership to offer three Estonian-language programming courses to ten Tallinn high schools starting from the next academic year. The first course – an introduction to programming – was presented on Wednesday, which students at Tallinna Tehnikagümnaasium have already started taking at their own pace since last week.

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.

Tallinn is once again taking part in the global Global Greening initiative, marking St. Patrick’s Day on 17 March by illuminating the posts at Freedom Square and Tammsaare Park in green.

Tallinn parents have until 25 March to submit applications for assigning a municipal school to children starting first grade in the 2025/2026 academic year. Over 4,500 children will reach school age this year, and Tallinn Education Department is still awaiting applications or notices of opting out for more than 1,000 children.
