During a broadcast on LRT radio on Tuesday, J. Karpavičienė, the President’s chief adviser, announced the proposal for a three-year preparatory period concerning upcoming changes. Specifically, the veto principle suggests that the implementation date should be set to postpone the introduction until September 1, 2029.
The adviser stressed the necessity of ensuring that the entire educational support system is adequately prepared for these changes. He emphasized that the objective is to establish a proper balance between general education and vocational training. According to Karpavičienė, this structural balance is crucial for enabling students to make informed choices regarding their academic paths and project their future life goals accordingly.
The proposal outlines a comprehensive overhaul intended to support the educational infrastructure. The need for this extended timeline is framed around ensuring that all stakeholders—students, institutions, and supporting services—have sufficient time to adapt to the revised structure. In response to this proposal, an extraordinary session of the Seimas has been called for Tuesday.
During this session, parliamentarians are scheduled to vote on the President’s recommendation regarding the timeline and framework for the educational reforms. The focus of the legislative action will be to formally adopt the plan to postpone the introduction date, allowing the necessary groundwork to be completed before the new policies take effect.
