Education is a force that can be seen in full colour once it is combined with ambitious people who have come up with sustainable ideas. From drones and combat robots to satellites in outer space, an innovative way of measuring the quality of education and a crafts school of high international standards, these are 12 Latvian success stories about people and their remarkable achievements – all very much powered by education.
The exhibition that has been organised by the Latvian Ministry of Education and Science looks at outstanding elements of the educational sector at various levels – higher education institutions, general and vocational secondary and basic education institutions, and leisure education centres. Each story focuses on one specific figure whose personal and professional investment has been decisive in creating a unique product, establishing a new initiative, or developing various areas of the education sector.
Media will have a guided tour around the exhibition right after the ASEM press conference, at 11.30 on 28th April.
