The primary social issue revolves around the quality and accessibility of education, emphasizing concern over the negative impact of the C1 language requirement, which is leading to the departure of experienced teachers and affecting educational standards. Furthermore, the competence of the Rajaleidja centers in assessing children's learning abilities is also being questioned.

Among the social issues, education and the valuing of teachers are paramount. The speaker stresses the necessity of addressing issues related to teacher workload, career progression models, and working conditions in schools, kindergartens, and vocational institutions, demanding a more responsible approach from the state.

The public health objective in the context of the sugar tax (specifically, the health of children and youth) is addressed, although the actual effectiveness of the tax is questioned.
