Education General Overview
Estonia is a top performer in terms of its education system, according to the OECD.
In Estonia, high school graduation levels are significantly higher than the OECD averages. Estonia’s basic education is top-ranked in Europe and among the best in the world. Estonian students have achieved consistently high scores in the PISA test.
The Estonian Ministry of Education and Research oversees education in the country. However, each local government (e.g. Tallinn) is technically responsible for managing its schools and guaranteeing slots for the area’s registered children.
Studying in universities or vocational schools is not dependent on your place of registration.
