Millennium development goals – all world countries input in solving universal problems and assuring living conditions for every country's citizens, also considering environment and sustainable development aspects. The aim of this work is to analyse and evaluate the implementation of environmental Millennium development goals in Lithuania during 1990-2008. In order to evaluate people attitudes in regard to Millennium development goals, population survey was conducted, with the help of questionnaire. Implementation level of foreseen indicators indicates every country's progress in implementing Millennium development goals. In Lithuania, pursuing to assure sustainable environment protection, such indicators are observed: parts of forested and protected territories, protection of biological diversity and species, which are at risk of extinction, emission of carbon dioxide and ozone prosecutors and general water consumption in the country. Year 1990 is a starting point. According to Millennium declaration, the intended aims must be reached up to 2015. Survey reveals that the majority – 74 % of respondents have not heard about Millennium development goals. 26 % of respondents, who are aware of those global aims, hold a university degree (67 %). In citizens' opinion, most important Millennium development goals are elimination of poverty and hunger in the world, reducing of children's death-rate and assurance of friendly environment. These aims were named as very important by more than 50 % of respondents. Regarding environmental goals, frequently named as very important were an emission of carbon dioxide and protection of biodiversity. Qualitative analysis of Lithuania's environmental indicators, a conclusion was made that the progress made is satisfactory to reach the environmental of Millennium goals till the indicated time. However, more attention must be paid only for protection of biodiversity as the progress in this area is not satisfactory.

Energy security is an integral part of national security, for this reason the role of the state to ensure the smooth functioning of the energy sector is very important. Regulation of the energy sector will never be left to the market laws, because economic and social well-being depends on it. One of the characteristics of the energy sector is its inertness, so it is indispensable the long-term planning and settings of development policies. The last National Energy Strategy (hereinafter – NES (2012)) was approved on the 26 th of June 2012, but the new National Energy Strategy Project (hereinafter - NESP) is ready. The guidelines of energy sector, which are determined by the state, are especially important for potential investors, as the construction of energy facilities require a very large initial investments and their service life can reach 50 years. Only the energy strategy, which is long-term, based on economic calculations, independent of the election results and maintaining the continuity of strategic goals can attract private investment in the energy sector. The aim of this article is to compare the framework and strategic objectives of current National Energy Strategy o with the Project of National Energy Strategy. The main objectives are: (i) to analyze the influence of stability of the energy strategies on the development of the energy sector; (ii) to compare the general provisions of NES (2012) with the general provisions of NESP; (iii) to compare the strategic objectives of NES (2012) with the strategic objectives NESP. It is likely that many discussions will be on NESP in political life and public space, so the comparative analysis and insight, which is made in this article, are relevant to today's life in Lithuania. NES (2012) and NESP apply the same strategic objectives in the energy sector, only NESP provide one additional objective - efficient use of energy. NESP differs from NES (2012) in their flexibility and multiple analysis of alternatives depending on the current situation. Meanwhile, NES (2012) observed that it can be only one correct way without any possible alternatives. It even very clearly indicates what damage will occur if Lithuania does not implement identified energy projects. Presumably, because of inflexible approach of NES (2012), identified strategic projects no longer meet today's realities. ; Energetinis saugumas yra neatsiejama nacionalinio saugumo dalis, todėl valstybės vaidmuo užtikrinat sklandų energetikos sektoriaus funkcionavimą yra kertinis. Energetikos sektoriaus reguliavimas niekada nebus paliktas tik rinkos dėsniams, nes nuo jo priklauso valstybės ekonominė ir socialinė gerovė. Viena iš energetikos sektoriaus savybių yra jo inertiškumas, todėl yra būtinas ilgalaikis planavimas ir plėtros krypčių nustatymas. Paskutinė Nacionalinė energetinės nepriklausomybės strategija buvo patvirtinta 2012 m. metų birželio 26 d., tačiau jau dabar yra parengtas naujas Nacionalinės energetikos strategijos projektas. Šio straipsnio tikslas: palyginti šiuo metu galiojančios Nacionalinės energetinės nepriklausomybės strategijos bendrąsias nuostatas bei strateginius tikslus elektros energetikos sektoriuje su Nacionalinės energetikos strategijos projektu.

The theme of this work is the implementation of secondary education goals from the perspective of different educational subjects. It is relevant because the realization of the goals of secondary education reveals itself as the final result of school education. Learners at secondary level should consolidate the knowledge gained at previous levels and, after graduation, be ready for independent life, further higher education, professional education, successful employment and career development. However, there is a lack of a scientific discourse on the attitudes of different educational entities on the implementation of these goals and individual achievement. The master thesis reveals the general context of the 21st century's most important educational goals, based on the examples of the European Union (hereinafter - the EU) and the Republic of Lithuania (hereinafter - LR). Furthermore, the thesis analyzes the expected results of secondary education, which should be based on the achievement of the goals of this level of education. The aim of the final thesis is to reveal the attitudes of different educational stakeholders about the implementation of the secondary education goals. Tasks: to determine the coherence of educational goals of the EU and the Republic of Lithuania; to analyze the expected results of the LR secondary education goals; to reveal the attitudes of different educational stakeholders about the implementation of the secondary education goals at the X and Y schools. A mixed-study found that pupils in X and Y schools evaluate the achievement of individual results on an average basis, from the point of view of teachers, the results are not achievable, while according to the education expert, the aim and the expected results of secondary education are declared only at the theoretical level and there are no favorable conditions and opportunities for their practical implementation in the education system and in separate schools.
