Mathematical competence continues to decline, grades remain high – mathematicians call for better basic education
Separate study groups for students interested in mathematics could be one option, but the key is to build a solid foundation for everyone already in comprehensive school. Grade inflation obscures the full picture.

Sustainability transition requires more engineers, broad expertise and attractive goals
We need more engineers to facilitate the sustainability transition. There is also a need not only for STEM skills, but also many other competencies, such as systems thinking and data expertise. However, as TEK's Graduate Survey reveals, there is a lot of variation in the level of sustainability skills between different fields of education.

How did Estonia achieve first place in PISA and why has Finland fallen behind? Published on Friday, 2 December 2022, a report commissioned by several trade unions looks for answers to these important questions concerning knowledge and skills.
