"The report highlights the importance for EU Member States of increasing the number of graduates. This is not the most important thing for Lithuania because our country has one of the highest university graduation rates in the EU. Lithuania also exceeds the EU average in terms of the number of students per 1 000 inhabitants (Lithuania – 73.21; EU – 52.8). The most important thing should be to improve the quality and the application of what is taught in our universities. I very much agree with the rapporteur that university study programmes should match the real needs of the labour market and enable graduates to find work according to their profession. According to information from a survey conducted by the media in January, 32% of Lithuanian employers feel that people who have completed higher education lack the necessary skills for work. The funding of high-quality education is a problem in Lithuania. Although almost 10% of EU Structural Fund money provided for Lithuania is allocated to higher education, research and innovation, funding per student in Lithuania is among the lowest in the EU – funding per student in Lithuania is approximately half the EU average. Education reform is essential and it is also important for both students and academics to be actively involved in the process."@en1
