I am always so happy when I hear about Estonia performing well in global rankings. Once again Estonian students have excelled in PISA assessments, this time in reading performance. Estonian children benefit greatly from growing up in homes with lots of books. On average, a typical Estonian home has 218 books and 35% of Estonians own more than 350 books. Good literature is fantastic!
Ilus Eesti, beautiful Estonia. My family's homeland. Estonia's countryside and people have an endearing gentleness about them which you fall in love with slowly and imperceptibly. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Estonians' courage and determination to survive despite centuries of repression, tyranny and foreign occupation.
