Closing the digital divide for socially vulnerable learners and educational institutions

The objectives of the investment are to provide access to learning content and allow participation in remote learning processes for the pupils from socially vulnerable groups. The investment consists of purchasing information and communication technology equipment for general and professional education institutions, with targeted support for pupils from socially vulnerable groups and the creation of a “computer library” in educational institutions, as well as the availability of data transmission for high-quality, meaningful and planned use of digital technologies in the learning process.

Latvia has adopted the regulations of the Cabinet of Ministers, laying down criteria and conditions for the organisation and conduct of remote learning to ensure that remote learning is organised and implemented in all Latvian educational institutions and levels of education. In 2023 Latvia will deliver ICT equipment for the vulnerable learners. The investment will be implemented in 2023-2026.
