Estonian Education.

Nowadays, a lot of Estonian students want to continue their education abroad and complain about the system of education in our country, but I will try to prove, that studying in Estonia has its own advantages.

At first, a little bit of history. The first primer in the Estonian language was published in 1575. The oldest university is the University of Tartu which was established by the Swedish king Gustav II Adolf in 1632. In 1919, university courses were first taught in the Estonian language.
For the second, accustomed form of education in Estonia is subject-centered curriculum and only a few educational institutions have a student-centered one. The education system is based on four levels which include the pre-school, basic, secondary and higher education.

In my personal subjective opinion I consider the subject-centered form of education as more effective. But being a pretty lazy I would prefer a student-centered one, because you always have a right to study what you are interested in. The subject-centered form gives you no choice what to study, but gives you a basic knowledge in every kind of science, so your mind will not be limited. Eventually, if you develop your personality you could compare your knowledge with the big, strong, branchy tree with a strong roots, which is impossible to neither flex nor brake.

I absolutely approve getting higher education abroad, but I also suppose that we should come back to our beautiful, small and proud country to make it step-by-step better and richer not with money, but with interesting and aware people of all ages.
We all could not to like and criticize everything about Estonian education, but the progress and improvement of it in future is in our hands.
