*TRANSLATION*

The Ministry of the Interior wants to limit the opportunities for foreigners and short-term workers studying in Estonia to bring their children to Estonia. The ministry would also ban foreign students from working more than 16 hours a week.

More than 2200 third-country nationals study in Estonia. About half of the foreign students go to work outside the school. The Home Office estimates that students from outside the European Union should not work more than 16 hours a week. Otherwise, the Ministry fears that the residence permit issued for study purposes may be used as a cover for labor migration.

According to Aune Valgu, Vice Rector for Studies at the University of Tartu, working is important for students. About 80 per cent of the local students at the University of Tartu and 40 per cent of the foreign students are employed.

"Third-country students definitely need this job opportunity to make a living. I think it would be a very stupid decision to limit it," Valk said, noting that there are certainly some cases of abuse. "But it is not possible to be at university just being on the list but actually working. I don't see what problem we're going to solve if we limit our work to 16 hours, which is still a very small weekly load."

The ministry wants the foreign students who have enough money to study to come to Estonia after the law change. The second point would also help to secure this draft. Namely, the need-based study allowance is being withdrawn from foreigners with a temporary residence permit.

Aune Valk said she did not oppose the withdrawal of the need-based study grant, but that does not mean that students do not need support. Just a form of support could be another. The needs-based study allowance is granted according to the tax administration.

"Obviously, we can't guarantee the accuracy of the parents' data from all the tax authorities around the world, and we can't guarantee their credibility. On the other hand, if we don't support foreign students, we can get those who are able to pay but not always smart. we should turn need-based study grants into performance-based scholarships, "Valk explained.

In addition to students' finances, the ministry's plans also affect their families. According to the explanatory memorandum to the bill, the alien can live in his home country. Currently, a student with a temporary residence permit can bring children with him. The ministry wants to put a stop to this kind of family migration, which would mean that the student's children would be able to visit with a standard visa, but would not be in Estonia for the duration of their studies.

"I think we're not talking about big families in terms of students. But we see that so many students from somewhere in the Third World want to bring their entire family," Interior Minister Mart Helme said. "Look at the fastest-growing communities in Estonia - Nigerians, Bangladeshi people. And they are not all highly educated IT professionals or students, but they are exactly the way to come and use the so-called legalized students. will be brought here, but will not go after university. "

Aune Valk said that most students at the University of Tartu would not be affected by the change.

"It is primarily about doctoral students, but if I understand correctly, the draft directive excludes doctoral students. This is certainly a problem for individual students, but I am not afraid to say at the moment how much of a concern it is."

The bill's explanatory memorandum also complains that children temporarily staying in Estonia need a place to go to school and this burden falls on local governments. That is why it is wanted to limit the possibilities of short-term workers, ie people who work in Estonia for up to a year should leave their children at home.

Instead, a separate change plan concerns foreign students who wish to stay in Estonia for a longer period of time. The policy of the state so far is that if an alien receives higher or vocational education in Estonia, he or she could stay in Estonia. Such people are used in Estonia and the state needs educated people. However, new graduates may not be able to get a job immediately and will therefore be given the opportunity to apply for a short-term residence permit. But unlike other foreigners, he should not be paid the average Estonian wage. The ministry wants to eliminate this intermediate stage of job search, which means that graduates in Estonia would have to earn an average salary as well to stay here. An exception would be made for those who have received a doctorate in Estonia. Namely, academic staff often earn below average salary.

With the amendment, the ministry wants to prevent radicalization. The bill's explanatory memorandum states that lower-skilled employment can lead to insult to the internal ministry and escalate into a threat to public order and national security.

Commenting on the draft, Minister Helme remained brief. "Until all the coordination has come in and things have been locked in, I think I don't want to comment further," the Interior Minister said.
