Skaistkalne Secondary School Is Three Students Short of Minimum

Skaistkalne Secondary School in Bauska Municipality still has a chance to keep its secondary school status, but its upper secondary level is short of the required minimum number of students by just three young people. The situation has emerged as a monitoring period set for several schools in the municipality nears its end.

What the monitoring involves

During the monitoring period, the number of students and how it changes over time are assessed. These figures are used to decide on the future operation of the educational institutions concerned. Skaistkalne Secondary School is one of the schools covered by this process.

Time is still available

The school can still improve its position: it has until the end of December. For that reason, the school staff, together with students' parents, are actively looking for ways to attract new students to the upper secondary grades.

Because only three students are missing, the school's hopes of retaining its secondary school status remain realistic. The final decision on its future will become clear once the monitoring period ends and the student numbers are evaluated.
