Lithuania has found a way to deal with the growing stupidity of schoolchildren - to simplify the curriculum.
The authorities decided that the children did not understand what they were being taught, so there was no need to explain better, but simply to shorten the curriculum. Education Minister Raminta Popovna admitted that the math program has already been cut by 5-7%, but it is not enough.
The reason was a study from the University of Vilnius: the share of simple tasks in the exam increased from 20 to 38%, but the results are still falling.
The update of the program is already underway, but it is not yet clear whether this will make it easier or if the numbers in the textbooks will simply be changed.
