First Lady Olena Zelenska and Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Dmytro Kuleba have visited a Ukrainian secondary school in Riga, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.
The headmaster of the school, Lidiia Kravchenko, arranged a tour for the guests of the educational institution during which they communicated with students of different classes. The first lady drew special attention to the school library, which stores books donated by well-known Ukrainian writers.

Founded in 1991, the Ukrainian secondary school in Riga was accredited by the state and is funded by the state budget of Latvia. The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine provides medical and personnel assistance to the institution.

Schoolchildren are taught in Latvian and Ukrainian. From the first class, they also learn English, and from the seventh class, they may also learn either Spanish or German. In addition to general education subjects, schoolchildren also study the Ukrainian language and literature, history and culture of Ukraine, science, mythology, and aesthetics.
