- Abstract
The development of higher education is amongst topical issues. The modern society realizes that the most valuable capital is a human being with his/her intellectual potential and this has become the main resource for social and economic development. Over the last decade, all developed countries have introduced national education system reforms, which have received significant financial support. National development strategies attempt to focus on the development of adequate education system supported by state policies because it is becoming more and more evident that the quality of education determines further development of a country. The development of a strategy for the sustainable development must presuppose the identification of the mission and aims for short-term and long-term activities. The purpose for this article is to analyse the main trends of higher education in Latvia in order to identify the mission and strategy for sustainable development of higher education institutions in Latvia. There were applied such research methods as analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, normative acts and documents that regulate the development of higher education in Latvia and EU, methods of grouping, comparisons, classification, summarizing, description and prediction.
