koolikohustused

Koolikohustused refers to the legal obligations and responsibilities associated with compulsory education in Estonia. This encompasses the duties of both the child and the parents or guardians to ensure that a child receives the required education. For children, it means attending school regularly and participating in the educational process. This generally applies from the age of seven until the completion of basic education, which typically lasts for nine years. The state provides the framework for basic education, which is free of charge in state and municipal schools. Parents or legal guardians have the primary responsibility for ensuring their child fulfills these obligations. This includes enrolling the child in an appropriate educational institution, supporting their learning, and ensuring their regular attendance. If a child is not attending school, educational authorities may investigate the reasons and intervene to ensure the child's right to education is met. These responsibilities are designed to guarantee that all children have the opportunity to acquire fundamental knowledge and skills necessary for their future development and societal participation. Failure to meet these obligations can result in discussions with school administration and, in more serious cases, involvement from local government or child protection services.
