A formal appeal has been submitted to the National Education Agency (NEA) expressing significant disagreement regarding the content and structural proportions of Part II of the State Examination in Mathematics (VBE), administered on June 5, 2026. Organizers of the petition contend that the specific tasks presented in the examination deviate from the established norms detailed in the NEA Director’s order titled, “Mathematics, natural sciences, informatics, and engineering technology state-level final exams tasks description.”
According to the organizers, the alleged non-compliance of the exam tasks with published standards has been publicly acknowledged by both subject matter expert teachers and the student body. The core concern revolves around whether the assessment accurately reflects the established guidelines for measuring proficiency in mathematics.
The dispute highlights broader concerns regarding the structure of national academic assessments in Lithuania. Critics argue that the current system places an undue and disproportionate emphasis on the national “Abitur” examination. This perceived overemphasis, they suggest, may skew the evaluation process and fail to capture a comprehensive measure of student aptitude across various disciplines.
The petition serves as a formal challenge to the NEA, advocating for a review of the examination criteria. Proponents of the appeal are seeking clarification and potential adjustments to ensure that the state-level assessment in mathematics aligns strictly with the stipulated educational benchmarks, thereby ensuring a more standardized and equitable measure for the final academic milestone.

Hopefully, the NEA addresses these concerns about the exam’s structure before the testing date.
