Põhikooli- ja gümnaasiumiseaduse ning teiste seaduste muutmise seadus (eestikeelsele õppele üleminek)

Stage avaldatud_riigiteatajasUpdated 16d ago

This Estonian bill amends the Basic Schools and Upper Secondary Schools Act and several related laws. Based on its title, it concerns the move to Estonian as the language of instruction, particularly in schools that have taught mainly in Russian or other languages. The change is intended to strengthen the use of Estonian across general education. This summary is based only on the title and metadata, not the full text. Students, parents, teachers and school owners, including local governments, are likely to be most affected, especially in schools where teaching has been in Russian. The exact timetables, transition support and exemptions would be set out in the bill's provisions, which should be checked directly.
