Estonia Weekly: School System, Languages and Radio

This week there were several posts about the government changing the language of instruction for all schools to Estonian and how this is not possible because the children who attend the Russian schools do not speak Estonian well enough to be able to learn using the language.  This lack of learning Estonian was blamed on the government and how they have failed to integrate more Estonian into the Russian schools.  There were articles written about the former "Russian radio" changing its name to "Super radio" and these changes implied Russophobia.  Several posts also mentioned the corruption of the Estonian government.

Main narratives:

  • The Estonian school system is falling apart due to the changes that the government is trying to make
  • “Russian radio” is changing their name to “Super Radio” because they are Russophobic
  • Students who attend Russian schools are being forced to switch their teaching language to Estonian
