Estonian language inspectors have found in a recent visit to the East-Viru country vocational education center that that all but one of the teachers were unable to speak Estonian at the required level. The teachers who failed will be required to take another test before October 1.

The inspectors also issued misdemeanors to 42 teachers who failed to improve their language skills as per orders from previous year's inspections.

 The inspectors also visited the nearby East-Viru county central hospital, where they required 466 employees of the hospital to take the language tests. Approximately 200 misdemeanors were handed out at the hospital.
