On November 10–11, 2026, the Lithuanian delegation to the European Schools is chairing the meeting of the Budgetary Committee of the European Schools, taking place at the Office of the Secretary-General of the European Schools in Brussels.
The meeting included the presentation of the Court of Auditors’ report, the updating of risk management measures for the European Schools system, and the endorsement of the report by the Chair of the Budgetary Committee under the Latvian Presidency. Member States have undertaken commitments regarding the governance, funding, quality assurance, teacher recruitment, evaluation of teaching quality and other aspects of the European Schools. In accordance with the Cost-sharing agreement, Lithuania seconds teachers to work in the Lithuanian language sections of the European Schools and subject teachers for pupils of other nationalities. This school year, 24 Lithuanian teachers are working at the European Schools in Brussels II, Luxembourg I and Varese.
Since August 1, 2026, Lithuania has been chairing the European Schools system for the first time in history. Part of the presidency period will coincide with the upcoming Lithuanian Presidency of the Council of the EU, which begins on January 1, 2027. This mission is being implemented by the Ministry of Education, Science and Sports together with its partners – Vytautas Magnus University and the Vilnius Lithuanian House.
