• LAShORs member: bilingual model of education in ethnic minority schools might be liquidated in the near future

According to one of the members of the Latvian Association for Support of Schools with Russian Language of Instruction (LAShOR) Valdis Ceic, bilingual model of education in ethnic minority schools might be liquidated in the near future. Mr. Ceic states that there is a tendency among Latvian linguists to consider that the time of bilingual education should be ended soon and state funded education should be only in Latvian language. Mr. Ceic considers that such attitude of academicians might capture minds of politicians who might change existing education policy.
