Institutional missions and profiles in higher education in Lithuania
This policy brief was prepared as part of the OECD's Resourcing Higher Education Project.
This wider project aims to provide a shared knowledge base for OECD member and partner
countries on policy for higher education resourcing, drawing on system-specific and
comparative policy analysis. The policy brief for Lithuania was developed at the request
of the Lithuanian authorities as part of their efforts to promote the development
of a more diversified and efficient institutional landscape in the national higher
education system, in which universities and colleges can sharpen their profiles to
align better with their individual strengths and the student populations and communities
they serve. The brief initially provides a concise overview of the operating environment
for HEIs in Lithuania and the existing institutional landscape. It then examines the
approaches adopted to institutional differentiation and missions in higher education
in other OECD higher education systems, before considering the rationale for reform
in Lithuania and – informed by international examples – the policy options open to
Lithuania to effect reform of its higher education landscape.
