Speech of the President of UTSU
“Estonia’s future depends not only on how many highly educated people we have, but also on who has the opportunity to obtain that education. When a student is forced to choose between studying and making ends meet, it is not only that student who loses. Ultimately, the university, society, Estonia, and the wider world lose as well.”
