Strengthening Upper Secondary Education in Lithuania
Upper secondary education in Lithuania stands out internationally with one of the
highest attainment rates across OECD countries. Yet the country and its young people
receive relatively modest returns in terms of learning outcomes for the country's
high rates of upper secondary completion. To address this issue, Lithuania is currently
undertaking a series of reforms at the upper secondary education level. This report
explores how Lithuania, and its young people can achieve higher returns on its investment
in upper secondary education and provides Lithuania with policy recommendations to
help improve it by strengthening vocational education pathways and by consolidating
upper secondary certification.
