Developments: No significant adult education policy developments in Lithuania

The situation of adult education in Lithuania has stayed the same over the last year and there have been no new policies or innovations in adult education. The funding situation of the Lithuanian Association of Adult Education (LAAE) did not change.

There have been some new policies on the implementation of Upskilling Pathways and furthering the Sustainable Development Goals in Lithuania. In Lithuania civil society is rarely consulted in policy making. This indicates low visibility and outreach efforts by the government. Regarding the consultation of the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR), the organization is not aware of a consultation. Nevertheless, the Lithuanian Association for Adult Education believes that the EPSR can play an important role in promoting new national/regional policies and frameworks. The report from the European Semester responds to the experience of LAAE.
