Ulla Ilisson to leave her position as Director-General of the Estonian Education and Youth Department Ulla Ilisson, who began her role as Director-General of the Estonian Education and Youth Department in August 2020, will be leaving the position at the end of August 2021. Ilisson, a former figure in the financial sector, was earning a salary of €6900 per annum. “During the establishment of the Education and Youth Department – based on four institutions: SA Innove, SA Archimedes, the Estonian Youth Centre and the Education Technology Foundation – Ulla Ilisson has done significant work and led the department through the most challenging integration phase of its first year of operation,” stated Education and Science Minister’s Chancellor Mart Laidmets. Ilisson’s salary as Director-General was €6900. Ulla Ilisson noted that the year of establishing the department was busy, but now is the time to move forward towards new challenges. “The launch and assembly of a functioning team from the operations of four different institutions has been a rewarding management task. I am pleased to have been able to contribute to the good of Estonian education and youth,” she added. The Ministry will announce a competition for a new director in the autumn, and until then, Chancellor Mart Laidmets will fulfill the role of head. Plans for the second year of operation of the Education and Youth Department include making the work organization between the department and the Ministry even more cohesive and effective. A key objective is also cost savings, in line with agreements made in other areas of the Ministry.
