Schools must now offer students one of the official languages ​​of the EU or European Economic Area member states as a second foreign language.

The Latvian government is preparing a decision to restrict the Russian language in the country. In particular, it will not be studied in Latvian schools as a second foreign language. This was reported by the Baltic media Delfi.

The Latvian government is preparing to adopt a ban on learning Russian as a second foreign language on April 23.

From the academic year of 2026/2027, schools must gradually offer students one of the official languages ​​of the European Union or member states of the European Economic Area, or another foreign language other than Russian, as a second foreign language.

The Latvian Ministry of Education received more than 300 objections from individuals in a public discussion on the ban.

The main reasons for dissatisfaction: children “should not be limited to learning their own language,” and “should also decide for themselves which language to learn.”

In addition, critics of the initiative say that “abandoning the Russian language is unacceptable for political reasons.”

In Latvia, the first foreign language is taught in schools from the first grade. A second foreign language begins to be taught at the end of elementary school.

In fact, in Latvia, Russian is more often chosen as a second foreign language, because there are not enough teachers of other languages ​​in schools.

We remind you that the Latvian government plans to strip Russian oligarch Peter Aven of Latvian citizenship.

We added that Latvia has ordered six Russians who no longer have residence permits to leave the country.
