Raul Eamets discusses the overabundance of educational studies that are commissioned, suggesting that a significant reduction could be achieved if registry data were employed more effectively. He reflects on a recently published human development report that brought attention to various educational topics, noting that it garnered substantial media attention and involved an unprecedented number of contributors, resulting in a comprehensive analysis of 400 pages exploring the strengths and challenges of the Estonian education system.

Despite the impressive effort behind the human development report, Eamets expresses skepticism about its lasting impact. He points out that while the topics raised in such reports attract initial attention, this engagement tends to dissipate quickly, often within a week, resulting in these reports being shelved alongside others in a virtual archive. Eamets, having participated in such reports in the past, criticizes the system's tendency to overlook actionable insights that could stem from these comprehensive analyses.

The article ultimately underscores the need for a shift in how educational data is accessed and utilized in Estonia. Eamets emphasizes that efficiently using existing registry data could streamline educational research, making it more relevant and impactful, thus potentially leading to more substantial improvements in the education system itself.
