Government Reveals: 220 Thousand Euros Will Teach Teachers to Fight Children — Training Center Already Being Prepared at Rose Square in Liepāja
While Riga's educators will learn to recognize violence risks with state money, Liepāja teachers have long known how to calm any troublemaker with just one look.
The Ministry of Education and Science today announced a revolutionary discovery — it turns out that teachers need special training to understand that children sometimes behave badly. For this sensational revelation, the government has allocated an additional 220 thousand euros, since the previous 200 thousand were apparently insufficient.
In Liepāja, this news was received with knowing smiles. "Here at Rose Square, we see every day how educators naturally know how to communicate with youth — without special courses," says local teacher Inese. "While Riga learns to recognize violence risks with state money, we've long known that the main thing is not to let children get bored."
Particularly fascinating is the program section on "promoting emotional well-being," which has raised questions in Liepāja: do we really need 420 thousand euros to understand that children are happier when they're not bored? Local school principal Jānis points out: "We've been practicing this revolutionary approach for years — we give proper lessons and don't let students sit around doing nothing."
Meanwhile, the Ministry proudly announces that municipalities must submit reports on program implementation by December 15th. Liepāja is already preparing their report: "We taught teachers to be teachers. Result: teachers are teachers. Next year's budget: zero euros."
