The Riigikogu, Estonia's parliament, will convene today to discuss the significant national issue of the 'Estonian Human Development Report 2026: Education in the Mirror of Society.' This important discussion, taking place during a full session of the parliament, is initiated by the cultural committee. Key speakers include Liina Kersna, chair of the cultural committee, Eneli Kindsiko, editor of the report, Mihkel Solvak from the University of Tartu, and Judge Mario Truu from the Tartu Circuit Court, who will present insights into the report.

The 2026 Human Development Report focuses on the impact of education on society and aims to explore how this influence manifests in various areas, including the economy, health, security, and the development of the e-state. Members of the Riigikogu will be able to engage with the speakers by asking two questions each, and after the presentations, discussions will open up for representatives of parliamentary factions as well as all members of the Riigikogu to express their views.

This discussion is particularly significant as it highlights the ongoing evolution of education's role within Estonian society and its implications for future policy making. With the report addressing various domains affected by education, including socio-economic factors and technological advancements, it serves as a critical evaluation of Estonia's direction in enhancing human development through education.
