hariduspolitiika
Hariduspolitiika is the Estonian term for education policy, referring to the principles, goals, and strategies that govern the planning, implementation, and evaluation of educational systems within Estonia. It encompasses legislation, budgetary decisions, curriculum standards, teacher training, and quality assurance mechanisms that shape primary, secondary, and tertiary education. The policy framework aims to promote equitable access, foster innovative teaching methods, and align learning outcomes with national development objectives.
The evolution of Estonian hariduspolitiika reflects the country’s transition from Soviet rule to independence in 1991.
Key policy instruments include the National Education Strategy, annual education budgets, and regional development plans that
