By Plenary Sessions: Liina Kersna

The presenter centers their discussion on Research and Development (R&D), recognizing its strong link to the economy and innovation. They then pose a nuanced question, highlighting the role that development in the social sciences and humanities plays within R&D policy. This suggests an intent to broaden the policy focus beyond strictly economic goals toward wider societal progress.

The political focus is currently on reforming the education funding system. The speaker strongly backs a legislative amendment that would tie the per-student funding directly to the school, rather than the school maintainer, specifically aiming to increase teacher salary levels. This stance is heavily policy- and results-driven, centered on ensuring better compensation for educators.
