Newspapers report about a protest action against transition of national minority schools into Latvian language held near the Ministry of Education in Riga yesterday. The protestors demanded for long-term guarantees for national minority schools which would be a pre-condition to abstain from further protest actions. The Minister of Education Ina Druviete speaking to the protesters asserted that the planned reform will not prevent the teaching of the native language. The Minister also said that she is ready to meet with representatives of the protestors discussing the planned reform. Vesti Segodnya, Latvijas Avize
