Let’s talk about Estonia. 🇪🇪
Estonia has among the best outcomes for students in Science, Reading and Mathematics.
The UK isn’t far behind, but it is behind. So what do they do differently?
And how is it linked to the working week? 🧵

So how can the UK catch up with Estonia on teacher working hours?
- Streamline and reduce admin tasks
- Reform, or better yet, abolish OFSTED and replace with a less punitive system
- Increase planning time within school hours
- Give school greater flexibility over working 195 days rule

We are the 4-Day Week Foundation.
We want to see a genuine 4-day week (reduction in hours, not pay) become the normal way of working for all workers, including teachers.
To get there, professions like teaching will need serious reforms first, leading to a reduction of workload and working hours to more manageable levels.
Like the ones in Estonia. 🇪🇪

4 Day Week Foundation retweeted
Improving work in big, meaningful ways - like shortening the working week - are part of the solution here.
The overriding consensus from four-day week pilots & practice is that employees are much more engaged at work and are more productive.
Not the only case for a 4DW, ofc.

British workers have become more disengaged from their jobs in the past decade, according to data that also shows job satisfaction has plunged to its lowest level in the survey’s 35-year history ft.trib.al/EPjMBj3

Our working hours aren’t working.
Fertility rates are falling, healthy life-expectancy is plummeting, community events are decreasing, volunteering is on the wane, happiness levels are stagnant, anxiety levels are increasing and bitterness is on the rise.
We are becoming t bind are weakening.
We need to fix that.
To do that, we need more time.
Of course overwork is just one of the contributing factors to this general downward trend.
We need to get off our phones, for a start.
But we also need to get away from work and come back together as communities.
We need a 4-day week.
