Sexuality education in Latvia

SHAPE classifies the sexuality education framework in Latvia as restricted. This describes the national policy framework, not how every school delivers it.

Restricted framework

Last checked 02/11/2026 · This is information only, not advice or a recommendation.

  • National framework: Sexual and reproductive health is integrated into health and social-science subjects rather than taught as a uniform standalone programme; implementation varies.
  • Interpretation: The status summarizes the verified policy framework; it does not guarantee uniform classroom delivery.
