The Ministry of Education and Research will not start surveillance proceedings against schools that went on distance learning, something which was being considered two weeks ago. Instead, a monitoring study will be carried out in order to organize remote learning better in the future.

In a situation, where solutions and decisions must be done rapidly, it takes far too long to coordinate with the Health Board, which is why Tallinn made an independent decision to send students in the city's municipal schools to remote learning, Tallinn deputy mayor Vadim Belobrovtsev said.

The Communicable Diseases Prevention and Control Act (NETS) provides that decisions to move schools to remote learning can be made by the Health Board or government, while the heads of Tallinn took matters into their own hands and will be forcing grades 4-8 to study remotely from the next week without legal grounds.

There is a government order currently in force, which does not restrict students studying at general education schools. It is unknown if the Health Board has made such a decision for schools in Tallinn and a high number of infections alone does not give schools the right to implement distance learning, Chancellor of Justice Ülle Madise wrote in a comment on Tallinn's decision to send schools to distance learning for a week after the school break.
