The project is being coordinated by the University of Latvia. Because the project is very labor-intensive, the entire educational society is being involved in its implementation, as is any other person who wants to and can provide assistance in the realization of the project.

The Latvian Education Informatization System (LIIS) project covers the whole information grid: education content, management, information services, infrastructure and user training at several levels – schools, school boards and Ministry of Education and Science. The initiative started in 1997.

The strategy for education content creation for 2001 – 2004 is to cover all forms of cognition – rational, empirical, emotional, modeling – and several levels of skills for all levels of education.

The Current LIIS results as at 2002 have been:
• developed teaching aids are being used (workbooks, interactive software, tests etc), approx. 20% of the total amount of high school program can be taught using information and communication technologies,
• about 1000 sites are using school management software,
• 66% of all teachers were trained on ICT usage,
• 97% of schools have dial-up connection to the Internet in year 2002 (44% - permanent connection).
• Number of pupils per computer has decreased from 67 (year 1997) to 20 (year 2002).
