“In 35 years, we missed the chance to build a society that would respect science and value hard work. If most of society were like that, the school would not have to fight for prestige through blood. Every capricious citizen who arrives without competence should not tell the teacher, a professional in the field, how they must work,” 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, in the discussion “Who Creates the Image of the School? The Leader’s Voice, the Media and Society,” participants shared thoughts about the current state of education.
During the discussion, the idea was raised that too little is being said about the school, education, its 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, the discussion featured the research company “Mediaskopas” data strategist Vilūnė Kairienė, who revealed that the data show interesting things.
