“The main focus for 2021–2022 academic year is the orientation to the student. This provision, which has been declared for many years, is becoming extremely important in the context of a pandemic that is still ongoing. Research carried out in the world and in our country shows that the pandemic has significantly changed the face of higher education institutions. This was felt most by the students – they were isolated from their study friends and teachers, internationality opportunities were limited. Students should not feel isolated from the college community. The challenge of the upcoming academic year is to ensure high-quality engaging mixed and distance studies and a smooth process of assistance to students. I believe that the academic community's focus on the consistent development of digital technologies in higher education brings college studies closer to the personal student's needs, opens doors to modern study and scientific cooperation platforms, international networking, and creates a modern higher education institution in the region,” says Šiauliai State College Deputy Director Dr. Nedas Jurgaitis.
