The social focus is on valuing culture and classifying it within state systems, emphasizing the crucial importance of the cultural foundation for the upkeep of the nation. This raises the question of culture's position in society, distinguishing it from mere entertainment.

The main social issue is the quality of education and linguistic integration, highlighting the need both to protect the development of Estonian-speaking children and to ensure effective language instruction for children whose native language is not Estonian. The speaker opposes a methodological approach that, in their view, harms both groups, and considers the ministry's rejection of the proposal to be discriminatory against Estonians.

The primary social issue is the restriction of voting rights for Russian and Belarusian citizens on security grounds, a measure considered essential. Additionally, the idea of conducting ideological checks on voters is critically addressed, indicating resistance to ideological control.

The speaker supports the social objective of integrating into the education system those young people who have dropped out after basic education, even if they are difficult to motivate. They emphasize the need to increase the workload and provide better incentives for support specialists and teachers to engage with this socially challenging population.
