Strategic work

Many preschools and schools in Estonia consciously focus on the issues related to values, and due to the activities of the national programme their number has noticeably increased over the recent years. Still, the ultimate aim of the programme is to widen this circle of motivated institutions so that in the end all educational institutions in Estonia would recognise that focusing on values education and values development enables them to achieve their aims better.

On the level of strategic work, for motivating teachers, educational administrators and other decision makers, we consider it important to support their reflection upon the aims of education. In addition to numerous presentations, publications and events this support has taken the form of contributing to the lifelong learning education strategy and the work on the basic and upper secondary school national curricula. Another element of motivational activities we consider important is the introduction of international experience at the conferences we organise.
