The Saeima’s sub-committee of patriotic education forms a working group which will elaborate the state program on patriotic education in schools. According to the head of the sub-committee, MP Raivis Dzintars it is important to set the minimum of requirements for schools promoting patriotic education which would include obligatory celebration of certain days, topics for educative lessons, usage of state anthem and symbols. Mr Dzintras also considers that the program should determine what kind of information is allowed to be disseminated in schools and what guests are recommended to be invited to schools.
