Teachers at the Adolfo Ramanauskas-Vanagas Gymnasium in Alytus protested against the dismissal of their colleague, Meilė Platūkienė, calling for urgent intervention from Raminta Popovienė, the Minister of Education, Science, and Sport. They expressed frustration over the lack of resolution regarding issues at their educational institution and reported an absence of constructive dialogue with local government officials.

The Lithuanian Education Workers Union (LŠDPS) issued a statement highlighting the serious concerns regarding the current state of the educational environment. They mentioned that no clear action plan has been provided to address the grievances raised by the teachers and that the situation is deteriorating without any effective communication from the authorities.

By reaching out to the Minister, the protesting educators hope to bring attention to their plight and initiate a dialogue that would lead to a resolution of the ongoing disputes affecting their working conditions and the overall educational atmosphere in Alytus. The outcome of this appeal could have significant implications for future labor relations within the education sector in Lithuania.
