Editor's Notes
- Lithuanian upper secondary education is an academically strong one. Graduates must pass from 3 to 4 state exams to be considered for university studies.
- Most high school students choose English as their first foreign language (according to the Lithuanian Department of Statistics â 62%). Lithuanian children learn English from 4th form till graduate upper secondary school and know it well enough to be able to study in English. There are 7 international baccalaureate schools where the teaching language is English.
- Really strong trendsâ total number of students decreasing, but more students want to study abroad
- Financial crisis hit number of students studying in the USA hard, but situation is getting better and we expect slight imcrease in the coming years. The number of upper secondary education graduates decreases in Lithuania every year. According to the Lithuanian Department of Statistics and the European Commission Eurostat due to the very low birthrate 40% less students will receive Certificates of Maturity in year 2023 compared with 2012. Another factor influencing the number of potential students in this period is the emigration. In 2012 45 000 Lithuanian citizens (1.4% of the population) emigrated from Lithuania, almost half of them are young people (20 to 29 years). Students studying in European higher education institutions are not included in this statistics. EU countries (UK, Netherlands), Canada recruit aggressively
- 10 countries which are included in decision set most often

- The present situation is advantageous to develop joint or double degree study programs with the Lithuanian universities, as Lithuanian Ministry of Education and Science declares the internationalisation of studies as one of the priorities. Higher education institutions do their best to expand student exchange programs and to increase their studentâs opportunities to study a short period abroad. There is a lot of untapped potential to attract exchange in undergraduate level and later have grad full degree students. Lithuanian higher education institutions seek or develop joint degree and double degree programs with foreign higher education institutions. There is a future prospect for institutional agreements. These bilateral agreements would open posibilities for scholar and visitors exchange programs initiating research projects and taking advantage of scientific centers in both countries.

- Young people of Lithuania are rather mobile and are willing to choose a foreign country for their university education. 30% - 40% our best upper secondary schools graduates enroll to universities abroad. More than 7 thousands Lithuanian students are studying in different European Union countries . In US - only 300. The most popular country for studies is the United Kingdom which hosts almost 2500 Lithuanian students, second is Germany with 1200 students from Lithuania. Lately more and more students consider universities in the Netherlands for their future studies (more than double when in USA). There are several reasons why Holland universities became popular: comparably small tuition fee for European Union citizens (about 2500 USD per academic year), the number of English-taught degree programs offered by Dutch higher education institutions is among the highest in continental Europe (over half of all undergrad degree and masterâs degree programs are taught in English), late application deadlines (closer to Lithuanian application traditions) Representatives of UK higher schools actively participate in every education fair that takes place in Lithuania and Lithuania students are well informed about UK higher education institutions.
- Citizens of Lithuania as all other EU citizens can get interest- free loans for higher education studies in UK that fully covers tuitions and reduces other expenses for education. The free loans must be paid back when a sufficient job income is achieved.
- Lithuanian government implementing the reform in higher education encourages international collaboration and allocates a certain amount of budget funds; there is no free higher education in Lithuania any more and families realized that one must pay for a high quality university education; United Kingdom, the most attractive place for Lithuanian students, had increased their tuition fee three times for EU citizens; presently increasing youth unemployment forces young people to look for continuing studies abroad in order to be more competitive in job search. State policy that is oriented to the knowledge-driven economy will increase the demand of educated workers with international experience.
