The influence of the Information System on administrative processes at the University of Latvia

Abstract

First we should mention legislation related to the higher education (HE) in the Republic of Latvia. The key laws regulating HE are as follows: ‘Law on higher education establishments’ passed in 1995 (revised in 2000), and ‘Frame Law on Education’ passed in 1998. Regulation of HE is referred to also in the ‘Law on Professional Education’ passed in 1999 and other laws, for instance, the law ‘On Scientific Performance’. Apart from the laws mentioned above, there are also a lot of secondary acts regulating the HE in Latvia. However, the above mentioned acts are in many ways contradictory.
