By Plenary Sessions: Peeter Tali

The rhetorical style is optimistic about the success of education reforms, but simultaneously resolute and occasionally combative toward opponents. It employs strong emotional and historical appeals (the survival of the nation, education as a miracle, the teachings of our forefathers) combined with political specifics. To emphasize persistence, the metaphor "English infantry" is utilized, and culture is referred to as "the last line of defense."

The rhetorical style is defensive yet sharply skeptical, employing emotional appeals to justice ("injustice is never good"). The speaker utilizes vivid metaphors ("crocodile tears") and ironic comparisons (Peskov and Vooglaid), hinting at hidden agendas. The overall tone is businesslike, yet passionate and confrontational.
