LITHUANIA
| Comparability of qualification levels | Compatible with the EQF (8 levels) - three levels of the NQF will correspond to three cycles in higher education and the fifth level is managed by vocational education - professional & general competences as well as sociocultural skills - The main differentiation applies to level 5 which in Lithuania is a transitional level between vocational and higher education. |
| Use of learning outcomes in HE & CE | LOs are obligatory. But NQF descriptors define competences demanded by autonomous, complex and changing activities |
| National legislation on EQF levels 5-8 | planned |
| Level of implementation of NQF | The NQF model is being developed upon comparison of experience of different countries, thus lagging behind - the referencing process will be completed by the end of 2013 |
| Recognition of prior learning | yes |
| e-Learning implementation | today only the non-university higher education sector (colleges) is more or less ready, the university sector is rather reluctant towards the competence-based approach, 6 EDEN members |
| Openness to virtual mobility | WHO minimal usage, no data and barriers reported |
