15th Riigikogu, 5th sitting, plenary session.
The political emphasis is placed on improving children's mental and physical health, requiring the Ministry of Education and Research (HTM) to establish a strong priority and provide clear guidelines for ensuring daily physical activity needs are met during the school day. The speaker criticizes the fact that renaming the subject to "movement education" has not resulted in an increase in the number of lessons, which still remains at two academic hours per week. This is a strategic, value-based position that underscores the vitality and strength of the nation. He/She strongly supports the proposal for one hour of activity outdoors every school day.
