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.
