  • State Language Centre (SLC) decided to announce repeated call for public assistants

Latvijas Avize reports that the State Language Centre (SLC) decided to announce repeated call for public assistants due to low number of applications. The requirements for the applicants also have become lower. Thus, the applicants are not required anymore to have master’s degree in philology or humanities, but only to have university degree. According to the Ministry of Justice, it was planned to attract 100 public assistants half of whom would start work this year. However, the SLC has received only 4 applications so far. As reported, it is planned that the public assistants on a voluntary basis will control the correct usage of the state language in labelling of goods and in different public information areas, as well as, will provide assistance and advice for prevention of possible violations of the State Language Law.
