LITHUANIA'S NATIONAL EFA FORUM
Since the establishment in 2001 of Lithuania's National EFA Forum, regular meetings have been held and the Forum has been registered legally. In different regions of Lithuania thirty-five mini EFA Forums have been created and twenty were formally registered; the others were attached to the local education councils. The EFA National Forum stimulated wide discussion on EFA in the country, and as a result education has become one of the first political priorities. The work of the Forum influenced and contributed to the preparation of the three major documents: the National Education Strategy for 2003 - 2012; the Education Law and the National EFA Plan of Action. All three documents were submitted to the Parliament for approval.

Lithuania: The first national EFA forum in Europe a reality
The first national EFA forum in Europe was established in Lithuania during a Constituent Assembly in Vilnius, 26-27 June 2001. The Assembly gathered an impressive cross-section of representatives from Lithuania's educational institutions, the corporate sector, and the media as well as multilateral agencies. The participation of neighbouring countries in the Baltic States and of Nordic countries provided the possibility for discussing subregional and regional co-operation. "Our recent experience attests that education is an essential precondition for overall welfare," according to the welcome message from Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus.
