| + | **Olga**, 46, a teacher at a primary school in Narva.   | ||
| + | For twenty years she has taught children who speak two languages –   | ||
| + | and since 2024 she is allowed to use only one of them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Olga** // | ||
| + | “I love my work. I love my pupils.   | ||
| + | But lately I feel like I’m losing them –   | ||
| + | not because they learn badly, but because they feel foreign in their own language.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Colleague: | ||
| + | “But Olga, the reform is necessary.   | ||
| + | The children must speak Estonian; otherwise they will have no future.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Olga: | ||
| + | “Yes, I know that. I see how important Estonian is.   | ||
| + | But integration must not become another word for alienation.   | ||
| + | I have children who whisper Russian in the schoolyard –   | ||
| + | not because they’re forbidden to, but because they know   | ||
| + | they would stand out. And I ask myself:   | ||
| + | What are they really learning? Grammar – or shame?” | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Colleague: | ||
| + | “The government says this is the path to a united Estonia.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Olga: | ||
| + | “I don’t think they’re wrong in direction –   | ||
| + | but perhaps in tone.   | ||
| + | It’s right that children should learn Estonian.   | ||
| + | But if they start to feel that their family,   | ||
| + | their grandmother, | ||
| + | then we have destroyed something that weighs more than any grammar mistake.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | She looks out the window.   | ||
| + | Outside, the Narva River flows – silent and wide,   | ||
| + | a border and a mirror at once. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Olga: | ||
| + | “I remember the past.   | ||
| + | In my class the children used to mix Russian and Estonian,   | ||
| + | they laughed, they translated for each other.   | ||
| + | Today they test each other: Who speaks how?   | ||
| + | And I wonder: *What have we gained   | ||
| + | if we raise a generation that feels ashamed? | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Colleague: | ||
| + | “And yet you come back every day.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Olga: | ||
| + | “Yes. I want them to understand   | ||
| + | that language is not a fence, but a bridge.   | ||
| + | I tell them: ‘Speak as you can – but speak.’   | ||
| + | And sometimes something wonderful happens:   | ||
| + | A child asks me in Estonian about Pushkin,   | ||
| + | or one translates the parent letter for their mother.   | ||
| + | Then I know: It’s not about which language they speak.   | ||
| + | It’s about whether they dare to say something at all.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | ++++ Background: | | ||
| + | |||
| + | //Olga – the teacher speaks from within the system.   | ||
| + | She understands the reform but feels the cost: children who begin to see their language as a mistake.   | ||
| + | Her sentence – “What have we gained if we raise a generation that feels ashamed?” –   | ||
| + | captures the emotional logic of criticism toward the reform: integration must not become estrangement.\\ | ||
| + | Since 2022, Estonia has gradually shifted all education to Estonian.   | ||
| + | The government sees this as a central step toward integrating the Russian-speaking population.   | ||
| + | Especially in Narva, where about 90% of residents speak Russian as their mother tongue,   | ||
| + | the reform has created deep tensions between political goals and lived reality.\\ | ||
| + | Officially the goal is: “One country, one language.”   | ||
| + | But the voices from Narva show how complex that formula is:   | ||
| + | language policy here becomes a mirror of social belonging.// | ||
