Rūdolfs Kalvāns, the director of the General Education Department of the Ministry of Education and Science of Latvia, has stated that providing an individual support specialist for every student is not feasible, as not all students need such specific support. This remark follows the findings from the State Audit Office's audit regarding basic education in Latvia, which emphasizes the necessity for each student to have access to sufficiently challenging learning opportunities and timely support for overcoming educational difficulties. However, the current situation indicates that support availability is still insufficient, which raises concerns about student learning outcomes.

According to the audit, from the 2023/2024 school year to the 2025/2026 year, there has been a 32% increase in support staff positions in selected schools. The new funding model, known as the "Program at School," has led to a 31% increase in government-funded positions for support personnel this academic year. Nonetheless, many educational institutions are only perceiving about an 11% increase in actual staffing due to decreased local funding in several municipalities. This discrepancy highlights ongoing challenges in resource allocation and the implementation of educational reforms meant to improve support for students.

The State Audit Office also indicates that according to specific calculations, each speech therapist can serve only a limited number of students, further stressing the importance of strategic planning in resource allocation for educational support. Without adequate staffing and resources, efforts to ensure that all students receive the necessary educational support might fall short, potentially impacting student achievement and equity in education across Latvia.
