Education and Science Minister: next school year will begin and end as it is now

On the other hand, the length of the 2013/2014 school year is still to be evaluated.

As reported, Kilis previously allowed the possibility that the school year in Latvia could be extended from the next school year already, and will certainly be extended by the 2013/2014 school year.

However, the minister also emphasized previously that these changes will only be implemented if all the sides involved - parents and teachers - agree to the changes.

Kilis said that pupils in Latvia attend school 169 days, whilst in other countries - 181-184 days.
