EDU Vilnius

What EDU Vilnius does

EDU Vilnius (legal name: Viešoji įstaiga "EDU Vilnius") is the dedicated municipal education agency of Vilnius City Municipality, established in 2017 as a subdivision of the Vilnius Teachers' House, restructured as an independent public institution in 2021, and rebranded under its current name by 2025. The organization coordinates city-wide education policy implementation and teacher professional development across all Vilnius municipality schools and kindergartens, operating across six program areas: Leadership Academy (Lyderystės akademija) for school administrators; Mokau Vilniuje for teacher recruitment, qualification studies, and beginner-teacher support; Schools of Change (Pokyčių mokyklos) covering the national Tūkstantmečio mokyklos (Millennium Schools) program, participatory budgeting, and sustainability initiatives; Innovative Education (Inovatyvus ugdymas) including FabLabs, the Eduten math platform, Think Equal social-emotional learning, and AI literacy; Open Vilnius (Atviras Vilnius) for outdoor and non-traditional-space learning; and Education Data Monitoring (Švietimo duomenų stebėsena).

The organization's underlying technology is built around three proprietary digital platforms: the Mokau Vilniuje teacher recruitment and job-matching platform (built with ID Vilnius); the Vilnius yra mokykla platform hosting 1,100+ unique out-of-school lessons across Vilnius museums, parks, and businesses; and the Education Monitoring Information System (launched 2021) covering student, parent, teacher, and administrator attitude data across the city, achieving ~96% adoption among Vilnius schools. Ancillary integrations include Microsoft Forms and Google Forms for applications, Google Analytics for website analytics, and Google ReCaptcha for spam protection. No public-facing API is offered.

EDU Vilnius is a government-state-owned public institution (Viešoji įstaiga) under Vilnius City Municipality and operates on a non-commercial, fully publicly-funded model — all programs are provided free of charge to Vilnius teachers and schools, with no fee-based revenue streams. Revenue derives from Vilnius City Municipality budget allocations supplemented by EU Structural Fund co-financing (notably Tūkstantmečio mokyklos). The customer base comprises the entirety of Vilnius's municipal education ecosystem: school administrators, teachers at all levels, kindergartens, and students — reached through direct institutional engagement, self-service digital platforms, in-person training, and international study visits rather than commercial sales motions.
