OECD Skills Strategy Implementation Guidance for Latvia
Developing Latvia’s Education Development Guidelines 2021-2027
In order to pave the path to future success, Latvia has developed its Education Development
Guidelines 2021-2027, which identifies key policy initiatives that are critical for
skills development. The Guidelines outline how Latvia will equip its citizens with
skills to flourish in work and in society. Evidence on the strengths and weaknesses
of Latvia’s education and skills systems has informed the prioritisation of relevant
policies in the Guidelines. A wide range of Latvian actors across ministries, levels
of government, education and training providers, employers, trade unions, the non-profit
sector and learners have been involved in the development of the Guidelines, demonstrating
their commitment to work together to implement these initiatives.
Looking to the future, more can be done to position Latvia to successfully implement
the policy priorities and reach the targets encompassed by the Guidelines. As the
COVID-19 crisis has reminded us, the future is uncertain and therefore all plans must
be designed to be responsive and adaptable to overcome future challenges and seize
future opportunities.
Building on the OECD Skills Strategy Assessment and Recommendations phase, the Implementation
Guidance phase has supported Latvia in the development of the Education Development
Guidelines 2021‑2027 by providing guidance on selecting policy actions, improving
Latvia’s indicator system, and selecting performance indicators.
