Evolution of Estonian Higher Education Sector since the 90s

The Estonian higher education sector has seen liberal policies since the 1990s, emphasizing autonomy and market demands. With 34 HEIs for 1.34 million people, there are constant struggles for funding and student enrollment. The sector faced a quality crisis in the early 2000s but improved through strong legal acts to implement Bologna values. However, student rights defense remains a challenge due to a lack of political will. Initiatives like the PRIMUS program and the Law of Student Social Guarantees have aimed to address these issues.
