In the spring, Kohtla-Järve's Iidla Elementary School decided that all classes would switch to Estonian-language education. It was a quick decision. Although a survey showed that many parents wanted a longer transition period.
Iidla Elementary School was formed last autumn when three schools in the Ahtme district were merged. One of these schools had already switched to Estonian-language education earlier. The school's leader said that Estonian-language education has both pros and cons. The advantage is that students learn Estonian better. The disadvantage is that learning is more difficult at first, and teachers had a hard time adapting the teaching materials.
A survey among parents and children who study in Russian showed that the majority wanted to continue learning in Russian. They wanted classes in grades 7-9 to continue in Russian. However, two-thirds of the school board voted in favor of switching to Estonian-language education.
One school board member said that this is a difficult decision, but it is necessary to be firm. If we listened to the parents' opinion, the children would not learn Estonian. This would mean that in a few years, we would face the same problem.
Another Kohtla-Järve school, Kesklinna School, decided to use the time allowed by the law for the transition to Estonian-language education. The mayor said it is possible that students from Iidla School may transfer to Kesklinna School or another municipality.
All elementary schools must complete the transition to Estonian-language education by the spring of 2029.
