Vilnius Street Students at the M. M. Čiurlionis National School of Arts and the Vilnius Trakai Vokė gym took the exam at the Kristofotas Gymnasium.
Mainly chose a theme about art
The graduates interviewed by Delfi mainly chose the subject of the reasoned essay “Can Art Affect Reality”, because it seemed closer to them.
“Anyway, the themes were really cool, so to speak, they were comfortable, somehow it was pretty easy to write, maybe that’s why it’s kind of scary.” I wrote a reasoning essay on art. The only strange topic turned out to be about the meaning of the holidays, because we really had little to do with it. ” However, I got the strange feeling that I wanted to go to the exam as a holiday. I don’t know, it feels very strange, “the girl laughed.
Another twelfth was also satisfied, saying that the greatest anxiety was that he would come to see the subjects and not know what to write.
“But I came, I sat down, I thought and it was strange that I chose to write on a literary topic about intergenerational relations. I trusted Savickis and the Šatrija witch. Anyway, it was really good to write, “said Gustav.
Two other graduates who took the Lithuanian state language test also felt calm and wrote on the subject of art.

The scandal is programmed into the program.
In a written comment sent to Delfi, Mindaugas Grigaitis, a Lithuanian language teacher and president of the Lithuanian Language and Literature Teachers Union, stated that it was becoming natural for the number of graduates who intended to emigrate to increase after the State maturity of Lithuanian language and literature.
“The scandal is also programmed into the program itself, which is too broad. So the issue of writing the topic usually comes from program problems. And in this context, the strangest topic this year seems to be the topic of the exam state holiday: in the works of Kristijonas Donelaitis and Balis Sruoga it is not essential and remembering it when a student has to read at least 200 texts is really very difficult.By the way, in Donelaitis poem, a wedding is a wedding. What other meanings should an 18-year-old think?
According to him, it should be noted that the texts of the papers can be used in the exam (to read them on a computer), but not all the texts analyzed (or only their excerpts) are available.
“If I’m not mistaken, so far there have been no vacation episodes in the Forest of Gods excerpts that were available for the exam. Perhaps it will be added as early as this year? Given the scope of the program and the student’s limited access to Full text of the paper, these “minor” issues certainly should not occur. I think another literary topic on intergenerational relations was much easier and the options for mandatory authors were certainly considerable. Reasoning topics are never easy, and at least you always swing on the verge of stretching. ”
This year, such a topic came up to him about pranks and bullying and, he added, it is a topic that requires very high reasoning skills.
“Jurgis Savickis, who is recommended by his side, is not kidding: he uses irony as a tool to criticize defects, so the joke concept here is misleading. Yes, Ivaškevičius is very suitable, but in the chaos of learning At a distance and fighting additional quarantine challenges, not everyone made it through the show, and Marius Išvaškevičius, as you know, is the last author. So it was really possible to think of other options and reserve this theme for a calmer year It is true that the issue of whether art can affect reality could certainly have saved “thinkers.” In my opinion, a reasoning and a literary theme could really be easily overcome, ”explained the specialist.
At the same time, he noted that it is gratifying that school subjects are ultimately no more difficult or twisted than VBE subjects.
“It seems to me that this year they are clear and really determined, focused on the essence of the works. However, this does not change the fact that the program needs to change and reduce the volume of content and think more about VBE issues related to the main ideas of the works, and change the concept of the exam in general ”.
Lack of materiality criteria
A good theme is universal. The one that fits most writers. When analyzing specific topics this year, Vilija Dailidienė, a member of the Lithuanian Language State Commission, lacked the materiality criterion.
For example, in “Meanings of Holidays in Literature,” authors such as Kristijonas Donelaitis and Balys Sruoga are recommended; this is not the main subject of the authors. “The celebration is a matter of expression. A little goes to the side, away from the essence. In such cases, doubts whether the wording of the subject is appropriate,” said the interlocutor.
In such cases, what to say to the student: How does the community celebrate ethnographic issues? “K. Donelaitis’ work is suitable for that. However, other authors … Celebration is a secondary theme, I would like more essential things. Didn’t the children want to memorize details that they were not interested in? She searched for the meaning of homework.
Another reasoning essay task asks: where is the boundary between prank and bullying? Selected authors Jurgis Savickis, Marius Ivaškevičius are recommended. According to V. Dailidienė, when thinking about the issues of reasoning, one must define what it will be: will it touch literature or social problems?
“Or are you talking about literature or life. Doesn’t link where you look for the line between joke and bullying. The word” intimidation “: Balys Sruoga mocks the essences of the” Forest of the Gods “? The inspectors will need freedom in analysis, “said the expert.
Especially since even the teachers’ attitude towards M. Ivaškevičius’s “Madagascar” is different. “The staging in the theater is not theirs, but sometimes it seems awkward to the actors themselves, and the room doesn’t laugh. If students talk about whether the author has a right to mock historical figures, examiners will have to use wisdom, “said V. Carpenter.
An essay on intergenerational relations, according to the expert, a literary theme. Much is discussed in the stories of Juozas Aputis, in the works of Jonas Biliūnas. “There is something to write about, I think the evaluators will be happy with the student work,” he said.
This year’s graduates interviewed by Delfi voluntarily chose a reasoning essay on the topic “Can Art Affect Reality?”. Among the selected authors: Maironis, Vincas Mykolaitis-Putinas.
“Art is always a difficult subject. Yes, Maironis taught Lithuanians to love their homeland, his poetry spread like songs, it is a synthesis of music and text. The merit is enormous that Lithuania created the state. It is as if there is something to write about, a certain analysis of literature. However, it is difficult to think separately about the impact of art on reality, to trust literary works, “admitted the Lithuanian woman.
In his opinion, one should not stretch the works to the subject, but rather show how the subject is revealed in the work. “The themes are formulated, the children see various aspects of them. Perhaps this time we should not do drama, we do not demand a very limited approach. Let’s say if we really need to talk about the limit (the theme is” Where is the limit between the prank and bullying? “), It may be enough to ask what in literature becomes a joke and what turns into an angry and sarcastic laugh. If we start to study the meaning of the word” bullying “, does sarcasm fit to the concept of what are the contact points? “asked V. Dailidienė.
When asked if last year’s tasks were more complex, the Lithuanian said that each year there is a different theme. “You do not know what to write about any ‘border person’, where the border and the border will be. Apparently, it is still difficult to formulate issues,” concluded the interviewee.
According to her, the exam subjects are sometimes reduced too much. It would be better if they were more open and broader: “Repetition is avoided, but the point is the point: it is not worth going out, it is not recommended.”
