Riga Pardaugava Basic school is
situated in the district of Riga city, old Ziepniekkalns.
There are 420 students of age 6-16 and 50
teachers.
The school provides two education programs. One of them
is for national minorities. We also have designed and have been
realizing a special program for pupils with posture disorders since
2003. The school is located in the disadvantaged area - many our
students’ parents are unemployed or working in another country.
More than 60% of our students do
not have full families or live with grandparents, stepmothers or
stepfathers. The ethnic composition of our students differs - we
have Roma, Latvians, Russians, Ukrainians, Syrians and students of
other nationalities. Unfortunately , social and basic learning
skills of some students are not developed very well. It means that
most of our students have a risk of social exclusion in future.
Three percent of our students are disabled, as well many of them
have psychological and social problems, difficulties in learning.
Twelve percent of our students do not get support from their
parents, who are basically unemployed.
Our school
teachers went through in-service training on special education, we
have a special teacher and two speech therapists, medical therapists
and a psychologist at school. We regularly share our teaching
experience with other colleagues. Our school often holds seminars
and international conferences for teachers and parents of the city
of Riga. Our school participated
in several projects concerning
students' low achievements in Maths, languages and Science. The
teachers develop individual plans and special syllabus for working
with children with special needs and learning problems. The staff
has big experience of bilingual education for minority students as
an example of the successful integration into society and culture of
the country.
