Participiants hold a banner reading "Russian schools is our choice" during a protest against a language reform in Riga, Latvia. On March 22, 2018, Latvia's parliament adopted amendments to its education laws mandating a gradual transition to educating in Latvian even in schools specifically set up for minority children starting in the 2019-2020 academic year. The full transition is supposed to be achieved by September 1, 2021.
