  • Estonia lacked information on the plans of 1,326 young people one day before the school year began.
  • The gap comes despite a reform requiring young people to continue their education until they turn 18.

One day before the school year began, Estonia did not know what 1,326 young people would be doing from September 1.

The teenagers are old enough to be required to attend school under an education reform that extended the obligation to continue studying until age 18. Yet the state had no data showing where these young people would be when classrooms reopened.
