Last weekend, the period of Estonian language proficiency exams for non-native speakers began. The A2 and B1 level tests saw a record number of examinees, with the most candidates coming from the education and service sectors.

This year, 1,206 people took the A2 level exam and 807 took the B1 level exam. This is hundreds more than last year. At the B1 level, education and service sectors were the most represented. In both cases, there were over 200 examinees.

At the lower levels, the reasons include international protection, temporary protection, or the expiration of work and residence permits. Proportionally, there are more language learners in detention facilities. This time, 37 people took the B1 level exam. Citizenship acquisition and job market opportunities motivate them.

Detainees have started to think more about learning Estonian. Today, job diversity and changing jobs are common. There is a noticeable increase in the need to communicate in Estonian in both personal and professional life.

Attitudes towards learning the language have become more positive. Starting this year, the state no longer has to pay for the education of detainees. Very few detainees have given up learning—most continue and are motivated.

The B1 level will be mandatory for kindergarten assistant teachers from next year. The situation is challenging for teachers and assistant teachers, but they are motivated.

A language village has been created in the corridors of Paekaare Kindergarten. The theme is Estonian children's literature. Parents' joy has grown because children introduce them to Estonian language and literature. Children pass on Estonian to their parents.
