Building a more-resilient K-12 education model
Vilnius is reorganizing its education system to make it more resilient and relevant to the future economy by creating “Vilnius as an Open School,” aimed at addressing the lack of educators’ digital skills, overcrowded public schools, and outdated education systems. The “Open School” pushes the boundaries of when and how education should be delivered.
