Riga Teacher Training and Educational Management Academy

The mission of RTTEMA is to offer and provide life-long learning in the accredited study programs of the academy and contribute considerably to the educational and cultural life of Latvia – both its regions and Riga. The Academy’s goal is to provide each student with an opportunity to acquire professional and academic higher education in the areas of pedagogy, psychology, business and management, as well as motivation for professional life and constant self-improvement. RTTEMA is a conceptually and technically modern professional higher education institution (HEI) founded by the state. It started its work in 1994 with 1273 students and now is one of the largest higher educational institutions in Latvia in terms of the number of students. Notwithstanding its young age, RTTEMA inherited the traditions of the educational institutions for teachers dating back to 1946. RTTEMA was founded on the occasion of the merger of two institutions: Riga Teachers’ Institute and Imanta Teachers’ Institute.
