On January 23, Tallinn’s Deputy Mayor for Education, Aleksei Jašin, met with an education delegation from Helsinki, led by Helsinki’s Deputy Mayor for Education, Johanna Laisaari. The visit focused on the shared challenges of the two cities' education systems and opportunities for closer collaboration. One significant initiative under consideration is organizing an education conference in Tallinn in 2026.

In the 2025/2026 academic year, the City of Tallinn will open classes in five schools transitioning to Estonian-language instruction, specifically for children who speak Estonian at a native level. Admission to these Estonian-language classes will be city-wide, meaning students will not be automatically assigned to these classes. Parents will decide whether to enroll their children in these classes.

The new name or slogan should be short, catchy, and invite everyone to take part in shaping their living environment.
