Specialists emphasize that a child’s overall readiness and inherent curiosity are more crucial than exceptional academic abilities when starting formal education. Furthermore, the press release advises that private tutoring is unnecessary for preschoolers. According to Jonas Petkevičius, Deputy Minister of Education, Science and Sports, all preschoolers in Lithuania follow a unified educational program.
This curriculum is designed to help children learn through engaging activities such as play, exploration, and creative endeavors. Through play and exploring their environment, or by completing age-appropriate simple experiments and tasks, the children acquire foundational skills. These activities enable them to learn the basics of reading, writing, and mathematical operations.
Consequently, Petkevičius stated that every child entering the first grade possesses sufficient foundational abilities to begin their schooling. This systemic approach ensures that the initial educational experience is comprehensive and supportive for all preschoolers.
