Investigation Launched into Funding Practices at Narva Orthodox Gymnasium

The Ministry of Education and Research is investigating allegations of improper financial practices at the Orthodox Gymnasium in Narva. An examination conducted last week revealed a potential discrepancy in student enrollment numbers, raising concerns about the school’s budget allocation. Documents obtained by Postimees newspaper suggest a deliberate strategy rather than a simple oversight.

Initial findings indicated the school may have systematically undercounted student numbers, leading to the receipt of a significantly larger sum from the state budget than initially anticipated. The Orthodox Gymnasium has refuted the allegations, asserting that no laws were broken. However, the Ministry’s investigation is ongoing, focusing on a thorough review of the school’s records and procedures.

Officials are examining the extent of the potential over-allocation and determining the specific actions taken by the school. The investigation is being conducted by representatives from the Ministry of Education and Research. The case centers around the Narva-based orthodox school and highlights the ongoing scrutiny of budgetary processes within the Estonian education system.

Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses.
