Statistics Estonia calculations regarding student population trends in Viljandi were utilized in 2016 discussions between Viljandi leaders and the Ministry of Education. The discussions centered on the projected number of school buildings needed by 2023 and the potential closure of the Kaare school. Both parties referenced Statistics Estonia projections indicating a decrease of 209 students in Viljandi over a six to seven-year period.

However, the actual student population has deviated by approximately 300 children from these statistics. Statistics Estonia attributes this discrepancy to an unforeseen shift in the population.
