DIDN’T DO YOUR HOMEWORK? SHAME ON YOU!
Journal Title: SVIETIMAS: POLITIKA, VADYBA, KOKYBE - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
On the 4th of June, 2015 Lithuania was officially invited to start the process of joining the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development – OECD. Together with an invitation, homework tasks were handed. One of those tasks is to improve education quality in comprehensive schools. From the start of the reform, education matters were of little concern to politicians. Therefore, the relationship was not found between education policy formers and those acting in it, though education reform in Lithuania from the very start of independence had an internationally acknowledged conception, which was evaluated by OECD experts as one of the most prominent strategic documents in East and Middle Europe. For a long time, education problems almost exceptionally were solved only by education workers themselves and thanks to the efforts of education office employees. According to people, having acquired secondary and higher education, Lithuania is among the first in Europe, but the low primary and general education results make one doubt about the quality of our country secondary and higher education. Part of pupils, having not acquired general skills, is an indicator of education system, which can be very important, evaluating Lithuanian preparation for joining EBPO. Education, having come into an independent Lithuania life reconstruction, as one of the most matured and ready for changes society life spheres (Juknys, 2008), the question – to improve primary and general school pupils’ learning results, raised at the beginning of the reform, - did not solve.
