Vesti Segodnya features views of participants of the essay competition on the minority education reform organised by the union For Human Rights in the United Latvia, the Headquarters for the Defence of Russian-language Schools and the Latvian Human Rights Committee. 10th grade student from the private Russian-language school Evrika Maksim Gremeniuk believes that there is a very small chance that students who have been the subjects of the minority education reform will enter public universities. He argues that these students will have a good command in the Latvian language but will not have knowledge of subjects. Another student believes that extra classes of the Latvian language, as well as common activities for both Russian and Latvian students would be more effective than the minority education reform.
