Not a novice in education
After evaluating the results of the state mathematics maturity exam, President Gitanas Nausėda is surprised by the statements of the Minister of Education, Science and Sports, Algirdas Monkevičius, that systemic changes in education are needed.
“I would also agree that systemic reforms are needed, but so says the minister, who is already finishing his term.” Naturally, the question arises, Minister, it has been two months since you came to this position, it has been several years that you have been working, and this is not even the first term. Yes, I agree that this is probably a problem for all 12 years, as in the case of the Astravo nuclear power plant. This is a 12 year problem that those children have reached maturity in less than a year. They started school and finished school, but unfortunately the knowledge of mathematics is not at the highest level, ”said the head of state.
Nice vacations
The president was also hampered by the Minister of Health, Aurelijus Veryga, who, according to G. Nausėda, cannot be left out, and urges him to give answers when the Deputy Minister of Political Confidence, Deputy Minister Lina Jaruševičienė, is suspected.
“It would be abnormal if the Minister of Health did not assume the responsibilities that are in his sector and directly related to the work of his Vice Minister. You may not know the person who is running away from you and all the nuances of the job, but the vice minister is even a vice minister.
Of course, there are many problems, and the minister must hurry to get some rest and get back to work. You will certainly have to answer those questions, because those questions relate to certain systemic problems that manifest themselves in the kinds of scandals that are taking place now. Both the Šarūnas Narbutas story and this case really show that at a time when Lithuania lacked security measures, testing tools, when everyone was thinking mentally, and I really understand that the situation was extraordinary, there was still a lot of cloudy water. people tried to find and catch fish, it is not tolerable and it is popularly called marodry, ”said G. Nausėda.
Vakaro žinios recalls that on Monday the police informed Deputy Minister of Health L. Jaruševičienė about the allegations. According to the FNTT, the ongoing study on 6 million L. Jaruševičienė is suspected of possible abuse of office and abuse of power. That same Monday, the deputy minister filed a request for dismissal.
Two weeks ago, the STT reported on an ongoing pre-trial investigation into alleged illegal activity involving the purchase of high-value coronavirus reagents. Suspicions of the effects of trafficking were made to the then president of the Oncology Patients Association (POLA) Šarūnas Narbutas. He resigned on suspicion.
You can’t see Brock anymore
Political scientist A.Krupavičius The evening ministers said both ministers deserved criticism of yesterday’s president.
“The Health Minister deserves criticism for the five-week leave, which is very untimely. Before going on such a long vacation, he had to think carefully about how the pandemic situation would develop.
In fact, the president has so far been able to provoke criticism from the minister more than once. A.Veryga, as one of the architects of the fight against COVID-19, took strange actions in March. Then it became clear that the Ministry of Health was not prepared for a pandemic, the acquisition of all the necessary protective equipment was delayed, very little. After that, it was already bought anywhere and at any price. It also had to be brought to light ”, emphasized the professor.
According to A. Krupavičius, the Minister of Education, Science and Sports A. Monkevičius deserves the most criticism for the confusion and lack of control over the situation in the field of education.
“A lot of confusion, indecision. We have seen situations where the ministry could not say when the school year would end or if graduates would have to take final exams. And if necessary, how much. Now it is also unclear how the new school year will start. What scenarios are planned Responses to the public must be clearer and more specific In their absence, ministers must take responsibility.
I would not say that the president lacked patience, but it seems that the president’s patience is not limitless, “summarized A. Krupavičius.
