Year: 2005
Funding: Soros foundation – Latvia 
Language: English, Latvian 

This study describes some of the instruments applied in other countries to achieve a greater recognition of diversity and to ensure equal access to education in national education systems. It also mentions some of the specific circumstances in the Latvian school system, which, according to the interviewed policy planners and education practitioners, have to be taken into consideration when looking at the possibilities of diversity mainstreaming in Latvia. The resulting recommendations are not a ready set of measures, but rather an inventory of areas where further assessment is necessary. Without such systematic assessment, and without an open discussion of its implications for the principle of equal access to education, a fully credible school system for a diverse is not possible.
