It is unlikely that increasing funding for higher education can solve the issues associated with it. Former Minister of Education and Rector Jaak Aaviksoo said that higher education needs more substantive evaluation and decisions based on this analysis.
While impatiently waiting for an end to the horrors of war and for justice to triumph, we need to admit that these expectations need to be placed in broader context. The latter is determined by Western allies' long-term national interests from the point of view of global stability, Jaak Aaviksoo writes.
While the principles agreed by the new coalition to mitigate the effects of the energy crisis will help to alleviate its symptoms, the electricity market needs deeper reform, says Arvi Hamburg, chairman of the Energy Council of the Estonian Academy of Sciences. The entire Baltic and Nordic region requires a comprehensive and consistent energy development strategy.
