“„Rahvusvähemuste pühapäevakool on koht, kus laps saab õppida oma esivanemate emakeelt ja tutvuda rahvuskultuuri ning kombestikuga. Sageli puudub lastel ja noortel võimalus õppida süvitsi selle riigi kultuuri ja kombeid, kust on pärit nende esivanemad - just pühapäevakool on sageli nende jaoks kohaks, kus ta saab tutvuda oma juurtega ja hoida seeläbi pere traditsioone,“ tutvustas pühapäevakoolide tegevust haridus- ja teadusministeeriumi üldharidusosakonna juhataja Irene Käosaar.”

"The Sunday school for ethnic minorities is a place where a child can learn the mother tongue of his or her ancestors and get to know the national culture and customs. Often children and young people do not have the opportunity to learn in depth about the culture and customs of the country where their ancestors come from - the Sunday school is often the place where they can learn about their roots and thus keep their family traditions alive," said Irene Käosaar, Head of the General Education Department of the Ministry of Education and Research.
