Education Policy. Lithuania and the United Kingdom

To start with, we had a topic about education policies of Lithuania and United Kingdom. As I found during the preparation for this subject, education policies are very similar in both of these countries. To my point of view it is because these two countries are in European Union. However the main difference between Lithuanian and United Kingdom education policy is that in our country secondary schooling is to 18 , when in UK to 16 years old.
All in all I must mention that from this topic I realised that education and its policy is very important in every country, because only from this depends its future. Of course, Lithuania has many problems such as short of funds or lack of free places for students in universities, however there is one big question, why such small country as Lithuania has so many universities (21) ?
