“University-level studies will continue to be available in the regions, including Šiauliai. What we are speaking about is that there should be a completely different quality of studies.

Skvernelis and Education and Science Minister Jurgita Petrauskienė said last week that only up to five state universities might be left in the country as they briefed journalists on a planned reform of the higher education network.
