The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Maria Zakharov commented on the plan of the authorities of Estonia to deruit schools in the republic. She spoke on this weekly briefing, reports the correspondent “Renta.ru”.
According to the diplomat, the ban on obtaining education in the native language is nothing more than “violent assimilation of Russian children” by the leadership of Estonia.
Earlier it was reported that the Estonian Ministry of Education submitted a plan to fully deruit the school education in the country. According to him, by 2035 in all schools financed by the state, training will be carried out exclusively in Estonian.
Before that, President of Estonia Alar Caris called the failure of teaching in Russian and criticized the idea to make only Estonian-speaking higher education in the republic. According to him, such a policy will be “some discrimination slightly.”
