This year, 585 first-year students will be able to study pedagogy at state-funded venues, all of whom will receive a monthly scholarship of 300 euros.

Last year, 249 youth entered state-funded places, and a total of 429 contracts were signed into study programs that provide teacher qualifications.

The government has decided this year to support more than just pedagogy students, but also those who choose to study in agriculture, forestry, computer science, mathematics and engineering. At least 550 freshmen are promised a € 200 scholarship.

Perhaps the mentioned programs have become more popular due to the support offered?

D.Cicėnaitė-Kaveckienė claims that it is too early to talk about it.

“It is too early to talk about other study programs, as the Government has instructed the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministries of Economy and Innovation to prepare lists of study programs in which students will receive scholarships of 200 euros before July 31. As the applications of the participants are accepted until August 18 of this year, we will not be able to realistically evaluate the impact of the new forms of promotion on the election of the participants until mid-August “, said.

The main admission to higher schools will take place until August 18. The first invitations to study for youth will be received on August 22.
