15th Riigikogu, 3rd session, plenary session
Strongly supports evidence-based education reforms, such as delaying the start of the school day and integrating physical movement into the curriculum, emphasizing their positive impact on learning outcomes and mental health. The political focus is directed toward the future and a cautious, consensus-based reform tempo, prioritizing the principle of "measure ten times and cut once." It raises the critical question regarding the lack of national investment in suicide prevention compared to other prevention programs.

15th Estonian Parliament, 3rd sitting, plenary session
The central topic is the implementation of education reforms, several of which are simultaneously underway (school network restructuring, vocational education, Estonian-language education). While the necessity of the reforms is supported, their introduction and management are subject to sharp criticism, citing the teachers' strike as an example, which undermined the state’s credibility. Emphasis is placed on the need for stable governance and well-thought-out reforms, focusing on both procedural and results-based approaches.
