Census: one in five people in Estonia have a master's degree
Data from the 2021 census show that the share of people with higher education in Estonia is increasing and the share of people with basic education is decreasing – a fifth of the country’s inhabitants have a master's degree, and Tartu and Viimsi, an affluent municipality in the outskirts of Tallinn, stand out for their particularly high concentration of highly educated people; the educational attainment of native Russian speakers is slightly higher than that of native Estonian speakers.
