More than 160,000 pupils are starting the new academic year in Estonian schools on Monday, with over 17,000 teachers sharing their knowledge with them.
The school year always starts on September 1, which this year happens to fall on a Monday.
Around 14,000 children will be starting in first grade alone. Two of these, Mirjam and Karl Gustav, in fact already started their year at the Tartu Katoliku Hariduskeskus, a Catholic school, a week ago.
Things have been going well so far, Mirjam said, calling her new school “beautiful and calm.”
Karl Gustav said his brother attended the same school, adding “I like the teacher, because she does not scold and she is also nice.”
