History:

In 1945 the Republican Pedagogical Cabinet at the Ministry of Education was founded. In 1950 the cabinet was transformed into Republican Teacher Qualification Improvement Institute which had the main function of teacher qualification improvement and teacher training. In 1990 after the independence of our country was restored, the institute was rearranged into Lithuanian In-Service Teacher Training Institute. In 1999 the institute reorganised into Pedagogues Professional Development Centre (PPDC). The main goals of this institute were: dissemination of education reform ideas and innovations, implementation of strategic in-service training projects and programmes, preparation of consultants for regions, organisation and coordination of methodological activity, preparation of methodological tools for teachers.

In 1958 the Scientific School Research Institute was established which was reorganised into Pedagogical Scientific Research Institute and later into Institute of Pedagogy. In 1991 Education Development Centre was established after the restructuring of the Institute of Pedagogy. The main EDC tasks were: the preparation and introduction of the documents which determine the curriculum and methodological material for teachers, organisation and implementation of education system monitoring, preparation of education development models.

In 2003 Teachers’ Competence Centre (TCC) was established. This institution organised the supervision of in-service teacher training quality, accreditation of in-service teacher training institutions and their programmes, and provision of methodological support. TCC had been coordinating the attestation of pedagogues and school administrators, implementing expert in-service teacher training evaluation and participating in expertise of teacher training programmes.

In 2005 after the reorganisation of Distance (Extramural) Education centre, Lithuanian Adult Education and Information Centre (LAEIC) started its activity. The Centre had been providing support for continuing adult education, gathering and storing data about adult education possibilities, about institutions which provide adult education and their programmes, disseminating information, testing adult education status and needs, implementing different projects about adult education development.
