We should talk about education quality, not number of universities

In her words, the number of higher education institutions will be established after the reform is launched.

“First of all, I think we should start speaking about the quality of education and higher education, not the numbers. We should not start with numbers. The number of universities will crystallize after we launch the actual reform of the quality and see what network Lithuania needs,” Grybauskaitė told journalists in Zarasai, eastern Lithuania, on Thursday.
