The MP pointed out that the party approaches the issue of school funding with great responsibility. She underlined that the new school funding model, Program at School, provides clear criteria. The previous school funding model, Monday Follows the Student, led to very low wages for teachers and a shortage of teaching staff, the prime minister said. The government has agreed to fully introduce the new funding model from September 2026. To improve the distribution and efficiency of education funding, this year Latvia has started to gradually introduce a new school funding model called Program at School.
