The document is included in the “CONSTITUTIONAL INSTITUTIONS” section of the publication under Cabinet of Ministers decisions, where it is registered as sequence number 33.

What is decided and with which document

• Publishing institution: Cabinet of Ministers.
• Document type and number: Cabinet of Ministers Order No. 582.
• Title: “On the reorganization of the State Education Development Agency”.
• Publication date: September 24, 2026.
• Official reference: Latvijas Vēstnesis, No. 184, OP 2026/184, Section I.

Education and fund management in one issue

Several Cabinet of Ministers acts related to education and the management of European Union funds were published in the same issue. Cabinet of Ministers Regulations No. 566 determine the procedure by which a higher education institution and a college submit information about their activities to the Ministry of Education and Science, and the procedure for publishing this information. Several amendments relate to the measures of the European Union cohesion policy program for 2021–2027 — including the strengthening of research and innovation capacity (Regulations No. 567 and No. 568), the implementation and management of science policy, as well as regional policy (Regulations No. 576).

Other agencies and their budgets

Published in the same issue as the reorganization order is Cabinet of Ministers Order No. 569 “On the approval of the 2027 budget of the State Agency of Medicines”. This shows that the operational and financial issues of state agencies are reviewed within a unified flow of Cabinet of Ministers decisions. The September 24 issue of the publication includes a total of 37 numbered notices in the constitutional institutions section, most of which are Cabinet of Ministers regulations and orders.

What this means for schools, higher education institutions, and project implementers

The reorganization affects an institution operating in the education sector and the European Union fund project environment; therefore, the changes may affect both educational institutions and project implementers collaborating with it. In the corpus covering August 17 to September 24, 2026, this is the only entry where the word “reorganization” appears in the headline. This means that the notice is not part of a broader set of simultaneously published reorganization decisions, but rather a separate Cabinet of Ministers act.

Next steps

Order No. 582 is the official legal basis by which the Cabinet of Ministers decides on the reorganization of the State Agency for Education Development. Further details — the distribution of functions, deadlines, and responsible officials — will result from the text of the order and the related decisions of the Cabinet of Ministers. For institutions and project implementers collaborating with the agency, the official publication is the primary document to follow for changes.
