Education
There is general compulsory schooling for ages 7 to 16. Primary and lower secondary school education takes place in the nine-year elementary school (Põhikool); In the upper secondary level there is a choice between a three-year grammar school and courses of study at the vocational schools. The languages of instruction are Estonian and Russian. Higher education is divided into universities (Ülikool) and technical colleges (Rakendurkõrgkool). As part of the university reforms 2001–03, a tiered study system with the degrees Bachelor (3–4 years of study) and Master (5 years of study) was introduced at the universities. There are 7 state universities: the oldest are the University in Tartu (founded in 1632) and the Technical University in Tallinn (founded in 1918). The first private university (Estonian Business School) was founded in Tallinn in 1988. – Public spending on education represents (2012) 4.6% of the gross domestic product (GDP). The literacy rate among adults (15 year olds and older) is over 99%.
Media
Freedom of expression and freedom of the press are guaranteed and respected. The media landscape is diverse; Scandinavian companies are predominant. Press: The print media market is completely privately owned and is determined by three newspaper groups: Postimees (majority owned by the Norwegian Schibsted Group), Ekspress (Hans H. Luik and the Swedish media holding Bonnier each with 50%) and Westi, which publishes the major Russian-language newspapers. The three largest national daily newspapers are »Postimees« (Postman, Tartu), »Eesti Päevaleht« (Estonian daily newspaper, Tallinn) and the tabloid »SL / Öhtuleht« (evening paper). There is also the Russian-language »Westi dnja« (daily news), the business newspaper »Äripäev« (daily business) and various weekly newspapers, including »Maalleht« (country news), »Eesti Ekspress«, »The Baltic Times« (English) and »Westi Nedeli «(Weekly news, Russian). – News agencies: Estonian Telegraph Agency (ETA, founded in 1918, state-owned) and Baltic News Service (BNS, founded in 1990, private). – Broadcasting: Broadcasting is organized under public law in the “Eesti Rahvusringhääling” and privately. There are five public radio stations and around 30 private, mostly local radio stations. Public television has two channels (“ETV”, “ETV2”). Mainly Schibsted (»Kanal 2«) and the Modern Times Group (»TV3«) operate private television. Numerous foreign or foreign language programs are also broadcast via cable and satellite.
Energy industry
About 85% of the electricity produced comes from oil shale incineration (thermal power plants in Narva). Other local energy sources are peat and wood. Both the burning of the oil shale and the peat extraction (mainly because of the large-scale lowering of the groundwater) is associated with considerable damage to the environment. In order to eliminate the high environmental pollution, a cost-intensive renovation of the mining areas and energy companies required by the EU is necessary. The development of a sustainable energy industry began with the construction (completion in 2012) of an offshore wind farm with an output of 1,000 MW off the island of Hiiumaa. In addition, the connection to the (Northern) European power grid, which has existed since 2006, is being expanded further.
Industry
30% of the workforce is employed in industry, generating 28.2% of GDP (2014). A large number of small and medium-sized companies developed during the 1990s (around 96% of all companies have fewer than 100 employees). The most important industries are food (including fish processing), wood processing, paper, textile (cotton processing in Narva and Tallinn), electrical engineering, chemical and leather industries. Foreign investments were mainly made in the electronic industry (IT, communication technologies), wood processing and the textile industry. 40% of total industrial production is concentrated in the Tallinn capital region. Other industrial centers are the port city of Pärnu and the cities of Narva, Kohtla-Järve, Sillamäe.
