The formation of Russian schools in Latvia is simply a fantasy ambassador, says Shadursky

The formation of Russian schools in Latvia is only the fantasy of Yevgeny Lukyanov, a Russian ambbadador to Latvia, who has no legal basis to form schools in Latvia to form embbadies and embbadies. Russian consulates, stressed the Minister of Education Karlis Šadurskis (V).

Lukjanov, criticizing the so-called reform of the language of education, recognizes that Russia is considering measures to strengthen the Latvian language in minority schools. One of the ideas was the creation of Russian schools in Latvia, which could be set up in embbadies and consulates. Lukyanov believes that this would allow him to be free "of the local methodology and everything will be decided by our Ministry of Education [Krievijas]."

Shadursky noted that strengthening the role of the Latvian language in the education system is a national issue. The Ministry of Education and Science (MES) explained that it is impossible to establish a school in Latvia if its educational program does not comply with a number of regulations of the Cabinet. International school curricula are also adapted to Latvia's requirements for the acquisition of Latvian language, etc. When establishing a teaching institution, the educational program license and the educational institution accreditation document, attesting to the compliance with Latvian legislation, are Mandatory, said the Ministry of Education, adding that In Latvia, it is impossible to establish a school in embbadies. For example, Polish schools or other minority schools are most often established by municipalities and these schools meet all the conditions set by the state.
