European Commission Education System in Latvia Education System in the Republic of Latvia

European Commission Education System in Latvia The EDUCATION SYSTEM in Latvia is administered by the Ministry of Education and Science.Ministry of Education and Science. IMPORTANT FACTS TO KNOW: Early childhood education and care is managed by local authorities; the Ministry of Education and Science sets legal framework for organisation and curriculum of early childhood education. Pre-school education (ISCED 0) for five- and six-year-olds is compulsory. Primary and lower secondary education (ISCED 1-2) is organised as a single structure system (pamatizglītība) starting at the age of 7 and consisting of nine years of compulsory schooling. Upper secondary education (ISCED 3, 4) is not compulsory, but proportion of population with completed upper secondary education is still high. Higher education (ISCED 5-6) is provided by rather autonomous public and private higher education institutions. Adult education is a constituent part of lifelong education system and is provided in formal programmes and non-formal and informal courses.

European Commission Education System in Latvia Recently initiated debates: on general education content and process, and pupils’ learning load Recently launched and ongoing reforms: a comprehensive curriculum reform for 6-11 years old pupils, promoting pupil-centred teaching, reading literacy and skills for work with information; coordination of the curriculum – aims, tasks, core curriculum and results - of pre-primary and primary education. Teachers have to be prepared to use contemporary and creative methods in their work. As a part of the reform in the school year 2010/11 several schools approbated education programme for six-year-olds. One of the outcomes of the reform is a legislative change implying that from the school year 2012/13 learning the first foreign language will be compulsory from the 1st school year (some schools already offer first foreign language from the 1st class although for all schools it is mandatory to start teaching first foreign language not later than from the 3rd class). In 2011, very extensive structural reforms in higher education system have started: the EU funding has been allocated for the international assessment of study programmes. A university funding model has been developed that would complement the existing one by increasing performance and status. EU structural funds are invested to improve the study programmes, develop new content and new, innovative study programs, both academic and research staff renewal, giving scholarships to masters’ and doctoral studies.
