The government will not review the draft amendments to the Law on Higher Education Establishments. The draft amendments would provide that Latvian is the only official language of instruction in private universities. The deputy of the Harmony Center Boris Cilevich stated that if the draft amendments were approved they would breach the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities, which provides that national minorities have the right to establish and organize their private educational institutions.
