• Prime Minister Laimdota Straujuma: the government will not amend the Education Law

The Prime Minister Laimdota Straujuma in an interview with Telegraf commenting the plans of the governing coalition to transfer education in ethnic minority schools into Latvian language says that the present government will not amend the Education Law. According to the Prime Minister, the effective law stipulates more extensive learning of Latvian language in schools but only unforced learning. At the same time, Mrs Straujuma says that gradual increase of Latvian language proportion is possible but there should remain subjects taught in native language.
