Latvia Hosts Third EQAVET Peer Review

Under the title “Good governance and quality culture at VET institutions in Latvia’, experts gathered in Riga to discuss governance, quality culture, and change management in Latvia’s vocational education system.

Latvia hosted the third EQAVET peer review of the 2024–26 cycle in Riga, with six EQAVET Network members from Austria, Bulgaria, Finland, Lithuania and Serbia par­ti­ci­pa­ting as peers. The hosts intro­du­ced the Latvian VET system, empha­sis­ing its work-based learning approach. Representatives from the Ministry of Education and Science, VET insti­tu­ti­ons and other stake­hol­ders shared their quality assurance (QA) practices. Key dis­cus­sions focused on insti­tu­tio­nal accre­di­ta­ti­on, work-based learning, and dropout pre­ven­ti­on strategies.

Monika Auzinger faci­li­ta­ted the meeting.
