By Plenary Sessions: Heljo Pikhof

The core social issues are educational inequality and financial vulnerability. The speaker calls for targeted policies to level the playing field regarding social background in education, supporting the abolition of kindergarten fees. They also stress that falling victim to fraud is a matter of national concern, requiring social and mental health support.

Among social issues, the focus is on public safety and ensuring adequate staffing for the police force, opposing any weakening of the PPA (Police and Border Guard Board) given the current security environment. The topic of healthcare for inmates is also addressed, emphasizing that offenders require extensive medication and the assistance of specialists (psychiatrists and psychologists).

The primary social concern is the accessibility of early childhood education and the reduction of educational stratification, emphasizing that nearly a tenth of children miss out due to excessively high participation fees. Free preschool is presented as the most effective weapon against inequality and a crucial step toward unified Estonian-language education.

There is insufficient data.

When addressing social issues, strong emphasis is placed on public safety and the protection of vulnerable groups (including people with mobility impairments, families with strollers, and children). Specific attention is also drawn to the danger posed by drunk driving and how it affects the security of pedestrian walkways.
