Amendments to the Education Act have been introduced following proposals registered by Agnė Jakavičiūtė-Miliauskienė, a member of the Democratic faction of the Seimas “For the sake of Lithuania,” alongside her colleagues. The core of the proposed legislation centers on establishing a comprehensive framework of security measures for educational institutions across the nation. Specifically, the amendments detail a set of minimum security requirements that must be implemented at the national level.
These proposed standards encompass a broad range of technological, organizational, and procedural safeguards designed to enhance campus safety. Among the mandated measures is the technological upgrade of facilities, including the required installation of both metal and smoke detectors within educational premises. Organizationally, the proposal calls for clearly demarcated and continuously monitored boundaries for every institution’s territory.
Furthermore, strict protocols are recommended for controlling access, specifically mandating oversight of all external individuals entering the school grounds and buildings. Procedurally, the amendments emphasize robust visitor management. This includes establishing a formal system for registering all visitors and verifying their identity throughout the duration of the educational process.
Additionally, the proposal advocates for closer coordination between educational authorities and local police forces to facilitate proactive preventive checks and other necessary security measures. These combined requirements aim to standardize safety protocols nationwide, ensuring a consistent level of security across all educational settings.
