Bringing world-class AI tools to Lithuanian schools

At the moment, more than 350,000 pupils are enrolled in Lithuania’s general education school system.

More than 25,000 of them will obtain their mandatory basic education this year, and 20,000 will obtain a secondary education. This means that 45,000 young people will be moving on to pursue further studies or enter the job market, which has been fundamentally transformed by the evolution and wide adoption of AI models in recent years.

According to the initiative’s organisers, the rapid development of AI is not a challenge but an opportunity for the country to ensure its talents excel on the global stage and accelerate the emergence of Lithuanian innovations. The current generation of schoolchildren has witnessed the rapid progress AI has made during the later years of their studies. And the earlier students learn how to use AI, the easier it will be for them to effectively adapt it to their needs.
