The upcoming Higher Education Fair 2026, set to take place in Kaunas, Lithuania, promises to be an essential event for current and prospective students, their parents, and educators. With participation from 40 educational institutions including universities, colleges, and vocational schools, the fair will offer attendees valuable insights into education options in the country. Free consultations will be available, focusing on study programs, admission processes, and future career paths, catering to a wide audience interested in higher education.

In conjunction with the fair, the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports will hold a forum titled 'What current graduates need to know this year?' at the Žalgiris Arena. This forum aims to inform high school graduates about key changes in the state maturity exams and provide reminders about admission rules for higher education institutions. It will be an opportunity for students and parents to clarify any uncertainties regarding the transition from secondary to higher education.

Notable figures from the Ministry, including Jolanta Navickaitė, the Director of the Department of Education, and Giedrė Pačėsienė, the Head of the Studies Division, will participate in the forum, ensuring authoritative representation on educational matters. The event highlights the Lithuanian government's commitment to enhancing educational opportunities and supporting students during their crucial educational transitions.
