Curriculum development

The update of the Law on Non-formal Adult Education of the Republic of Lithuania (the Law on Non-formal Adult Education and Continuing Learning entered into force in 2015) was based on the European experience and EU documents on adult learning.

KURSUOK, the national one-stop-shop adult education platform, a digital system of individual learning accounts, was launched at the end of 2023 in Lithuania. KURSUOK aims to bring together the best and most innovative training providers and institutions able to offer quality training in a wide range of fields and lengths, and to bring together people seeking to learn. The learning voucher principle is available to working people aged 18-65 who have already obtained a qualification or higher education.

Partnerships and networks

The Ministry of Education, Science and Sport finances projects in the field of non-formal adult education by various organisations (research and higher education institutions, non-governmental organisations, associations, etc.) by means of project selection mechanisms. The projects are selected based on pre-determined criteria.

The Education Exchanges Support Foundation carries out the EPALE project aimed to bring together a community of adult education practitioners in a multilingual, dynamic, interactive and innovative space. The platform is open to adult educators, andragogues, lecturers, volunteers as well as policy makers, researchers and academicians working in the field of adult education.

Another project administered by the Education Exchanges Support Foundation is called Euroguidance. It aims to develop the European dimension in lifelong learning (career guidance). The project seeks to promote and strengthen inter-institutional cooperation in the field of career guidance, drawing on the experience and knowledge of the international Euroguidance Network.
