“…Elsewhere, Yacek (2014b) argues Nietzsche can be used to improve the teaching of empathy in multicultural settings. Joosten (2015) claims Nietzsche can be used to reconceptualise the recent European policy drive to secure "excellence for all" and thereby make excellence in education (reconceptualised as "rising above oneself") a more meaningful objective. Educational revival, improvement, and substance-this is what Nietzsche is made to offer.…”

The republication of Nietzsche’s lectures “On the Future of Our Educational Institutions” invites reconsideration of Nietzsche’s thought on education. Though there is much in these lectures that might appeal to those struggling for the future of the humanities, or for the future of education more generally, I argue against their use in the attempted redemption of the humanities or education. Consideration of “Schopenhauer as Educator”, published two years later, brings out Nietzsche’s growing hostility to education. Education in modernity is a lost cause, Nietzsche argues. It is beyond redemption because (1) true teachers can no longer be found and (2) we are almost incapable of educating ourselves. At best we might attempt to educate ourselves against the age, which includes the challenging task of educating against our selves. From this position, which holds out little hope for the future of education as it is currently configured, if the modern educator has any functionality left, it is to serve as a symptom of decline.

“…To acquire positive traits from directions of equity and excellence development, a synthesis of approaches is possible. Applying Friedrich Nietzsche's drastic point of view to the vocational education, opens a dimension of excellence to all students, offering "to excel yourself" not "be the best" (Joosten, 2015). It fosters relative excellence.…”

The process of developing competence centres of vocational education and training is going on since 2009; they are planned to become centres of excellence. State gymnasiums can be such centres among schools of general education. The number of students in state gymnasiums compared to the number of students in other general educational establishments is totally different from the number of students in competence centres of vocational education and training compared to the number of students in other Vocational Education and Training (VET) establishments. The aim of the work is to explain the principles of promoting excellence in Latvia, to give recommendations how to develop balanced excellence on the level of secondary education to ensure a united policy of excellence. During the research the author: • Compares the information about state gymnasiums and competence centres of VET, • Explains the role of the establishments and the numbers' tendencies of students in them, • Compares the amount of earmarked grants and their validity according to the requirements and the results of work. Relying on the results of the analyses, the author draws a conclusion that in both-general educational level and in VET excellence is being developed. Though there are several similarities, there are substantial differences that must be taken into account while creating the future educational politics and educating the whole society.

“…The model offered by Joo promoting excellence in VET is demonstrating how industry cooperates with college through orders needed skills and technicians. Technical education for employees, regular classes for students, education for jobseekers and internationally -associated education makes a customized agreement that impacts industry and college as VET representing institution (Joo, 2017). There is a constant cooperation going on between the industry (customer) and the educational establishment (performer).…”
