| 6 March 2010 On 2 March 2010, the Latvian parliament backed major amendments to the Education Law, expanding the range of persons who are eligible for obtaining education in Latvia. Under these amendments, the right to obtain education in Latvia is granted to Latvian citizens and non-citizens, EU citizens, as well as residents of other countries, who have residence permits in Latvia. Stateless persons with valid travel documents, refugees and children of asylum-seekers will also be granted such rights. Children of persons who have no legal basis for staying in Latvia will also be eligible for obtaining education in Latvia until the time they must depart from the country.
