- Lithuania’s education minister approved new language rules for foreign students in vocational schools.
- Students will study in Lithuanian, or in Lithuanian alongside a foreign language.
- The policy covers people beginning their first vocational qualification and those continuing vocational training.
Foreign students in Lithuania’s vocational schools will no longer be allowed to study solely in a foreign language from the new school year.
Under rules approved by the education, science and sports minister, they will study in Lithuanian or in both Lithuanian and a foreign language. The arrangement applies to two groups: people pursuing their first vocational qualification and those continuing their vocational education.
The policy is expected to help foreign students find jobs more easily and participate in society.
