In Bauska municipality, seven educational institutions have fewer pupils this school year than the state requires, according to the Russian-language service of Latvian public media (LSM).
The local government co-finances teachers' salaries in only two of these seven schools. The reason is that, as an exception, the state agreed to keep paying salaries in those two schools as it did before.
School reform not carried out
Bauska municipality is one of those where the school reform has not been carried out. The state agreed to meet it halfway, but only for one year.
Other municipalities
In total, 18 local governments are currently co-financing teachers' salaries. The source does not specify the exact pupil-number criteria set by the state or name the seven schools.
