“In 35 years, we missed the chance to cultivate a society that would respect science and value hard work. If the majority of society were like that, the school would not have to fight for prestige by force. Every capricious citizen who comes along, without competence, should not tell a teacher, a professional in that field, how to do their job,” said Irena Baranauskienė, founder and CEO of the private Saulė Gymnasium.
At the beginning of March, the news portal Lrytas organized the largest education forum in Lithuania, “The Code of Education,” where the discussion “Who Shapes the School’s Image? The Leader’s Voice, the Media and Society” shared thoughts about the current state of education.
During the discussion, it was suggested that there is still too little talk about the school, education, image, and how it could be changed, so together with experts and professionals they discussed not only what the situation is now, but also what can be done to change the outcome.
About what the current position of education’s image is, in the discussion the research company “Mediaskopas” data strategist Vilunė Kairienė”, which revealed that the data show interesting things.
