Vocational courses in Kaunas: providing
professional knowledge and innovation
Having good teaching facilities in Kaunas (the school’s
workshops), ORT offered various courses for adults led by
the vocational school’s teachers. Courses were held at the
school and in other suitable premises, and made use of the
school’s facilities. Besides a trade, Lithuanian and history
were also taught. The participants paid a monthly fee, but
ORT could reduce fees for poorer students, and in
exceptional cases was able to offer an exemption. The
heads and instructors of the course did not receive salaries;
all profits went to the ORT vocational school. Those who
passed the examinations successfully received standard
certificates from the Specialised Education department.
