In Riga, each school will organize the September 1 events differently – in Latvia – News

The situation is different for each school, both in terms of the number of pupils and the territory. There are schools with large sports fields and schools that do not have an area around them. There are schools with several parallel classes, there are schools with two parallel classes. There are primary schools, there are gymnasiums, where studies start from the 7th grade.

The department will provide information on the selected models of the study process organization at a press conference on August 24.

According to the director of the department Māris Krastiņš, this September 1 and the new school year will be different from the previous ones, as schools will have to work in new, unusual conditions to ensure both the introduction of the new curriculum and compliance with epidemiological requirements.

“Each school must find its own most suitable functional model and distance learning environment. There are remote meetings, discussions and consultations with the heads of institutions about the best way to organize teaching work in the department responsible for the industry,” says Krastiņš.

It has already been reported that in the new school year, the learning process will be organized in person at the educational institution, but a number of precautionary requirements will need to be met, including streamlining the flow of learners decided by the government.

The Ministry of Education and Science (MES) and the State Education Content Center have informed that the organization of studies from the next school year is planned in three models. At present, it is considered that from September 1, studies in all educational institutions in Latvia take place in person and this is model A, if the epidemiological situation is similar to now.

The amendments supported by the government stipulate that even in this case, if necessary, the educational process can be partially implemented remotely, for example, one day a week, to ensure the possibility of distance, such as filling and sharing for control purposes.

The Ministry of Education and Science points out that this condition in general education institutions is applicable only to grades 7-12, taking into account the age of the learner and participation in the self-directed learning process. Accordingly, in vocational education institutions such a solution is possible in all courses and groups.

At the same time, in order to successfully implement the learning process, the head of the educational institution will have to establish procedures for the organization of teaching and pedagogical work, including the establishment of communication channels with learners and their parents.
