What is the primary cause of the increased demand for German teachers in Latvia, and what are its immediate consequences for the Latvian education system?

In Latvia, a shift in the education system is causing a surge in demand for German teachers. The Latvian government is phasing out Russian as a language of instruction, leading 401 out of 450 schools to opt for German as a second language, creating a need for 300 additional German teachers by 2030. The German government is supporting this initiative by funding the Goethe-Institut in Riga to train these teachers.
