School Leaders Moving Due to Changes in Tallinn Are Satisfied with New Spaces

Tallinn's restructuring of its school network is met with satisfaction from school leaders as they relocate to new facilities.

Tallinn is currently undertaking a significant reorganization of its school network in North Tallinn, impacting five schools that will be relocating to new buildings. The leaders of these schools express general satisfaction with the changes. For example, the Open School located on Auna Street is set to move to the premises on Karjamaa Street, which currently houses Kalamaja Primary School and the North Star Primary School. Sandra Järv, the principal of the Open School, is pleased about the transition as it will allow for improved learning conditions for students.

The school officials noted that the overall atmosphere among staff, teachers, and parents is positive regarding the new arrangements. Järv highlighted the importance of moving to modern, secure, and well-equipped facilities that will help enhance the educational environment for the school community. This sentiment is echoed by Katrin Luhaäär, the head of Ristiku Primary School, which will inherit the current building of the Open School. Even though renovations are needed, Luhaäär appreciates the space addition as the school has been grappling with a space shortage for years, especially for students with special needs.

The restructuring indicates a proactive approach by Tallinn to address educational infrastructure and adapt to the evolving needs of its student population. The local administration's investment in schools reflects a commitment to providing better educational environments. As these changes unfold, the positive reception from school leaders suggests a supportive community atmosphere that can lead to enhanced educational outcomes for the students involved.
