Kassilaane: Estonia's smallest school, 1982

Peeter Tooming's short film visits the smallest school in Estonia, at Kassilaane in the Räpina area, which had just three pupils. On 1 September the only teacher, L. Jõks, opens the school year on the steps, and a single first-former arrives. A 90-year-old former pupil remembers her own school days, the children learn Russian and Estonian, do gymnastics in the classroom and eat lunch in the yard.
