Abstract

Code of Ethics for Educators in Lithuania ​published by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Lithuania ​​defines the key requirements of professional conduct and obligations for pedagogical staff and freelance teachers in Lithuania. ​It applies to their interactions with pupils, parents, colleagues, and the community. ​ The Code emphasizes principles such as respect, justice, recognition of human rights, responsibility, fairness, care, and solidarity. ​ Adherence to the Code is a personal commitment and a matter of honour for educators, and the breach of these requirements carries legal consequences. The head of an educational establishment is responsible for ensuring adherence to the Code.
