The changing nature of education in the EU and Lithuania increases the demand for more universal and broader specialization, which stimulates the search for new models of non –university teacher training. The objective of this article is to discuss the training of religion teachers, possibilities for their broader competence and expediency, based on the 10-year experience of training religion teachers at Marijampole College. Subdisciplines of the Lithuanian language and religion and expediency of integration widen the outlook of a teacher and help to prepare for moral educational work at school. Competences in two specialities (the Lithuanian language and teacher of religion) enable graduates of compete more successfully in the work market of pedagogues. The future of Lithuania especially will depend on the programs of teacher training and how they will be realized. Fast changes of Lithuanian society and education, processes of European integration and acquaintance with dominating models of teacher training in European Union make clear the demand for more universal pedagogues.

In Master's thesis, selecting Mažeikiai and Skuodas district local administration cases, it is aimed to investigate schools network reconstruction situation, strenghts and problematical aspects, according to 2016-2020 year general plan, as well as foresee possible school network reconstruction accomplishment improvement ways. In theorethical part of thesis, according to Lithuanian and foreign scientists theoretical sagacity, it was noticed, that educational reforms and school network reconstructions in their context these days are especially important factor, when seeking to ensure educational system effectivity, rationality and schooling quality growth. Educational system change and it`s government as well as educational reform regulations in country's strategical documents were analysed in thesis. Determinant factors in school network reconstruction were highlighted, changes in educational system planning and accomplishment were discussed. In methodological part of thesis, the research strategy and methodology were introduced, instrument selection was well-grounded, research sample characteristics and ethics were described. Qualitative study strategy was selected for empirical research. The following information collection and analysis methods were applied during qualitative research: expert interview, qualitative comparative document analysis, qualitative content analysis. In research part of thesis a general plan comparative analysis of school network reconstruction in Skuodas and Mažeikiai districts was executed. Based on qualitative interview method, a school network reconstruction strenghts and problematical aspects were revealed, when executing 2016-2020 year general plan. Possible school network reconstruction improvement destinations were established. The research revealed that, when executing school network reconstruction in Skuodas and Mažeikiai local administrations, financial means are saved, which are later used in active school financial base improvement, pupils have a higher opportunities to choose educational program modules, participate in non-formal education activities. However, some problems arise as well: schools are not enough equipped with yellow buses; not all saved financial means are prescribed by local district administrations for school material base improvement; many of former school buildings stays unused.

Global management and industry trends, a dynamic business environment and increasing competition are forcing organizations to respond quickly to change and seek new business management solutions. Purposeful selection of organizational management models and methods and effective human resource management are among the most important factors in ensuring the success of business organizations. The activities of an organization based on the principles of dynamic management are focused on the hierarchy of responsibilities and discussions and decisions made by consensus, exchange of information, expression of opinions, etc. Such an organizational environment and work principles increase the overall self-efficacy of employees which enables them to make independent decisions in their daily work activities and to take responsibility for their activities. The object of the work: the links between the general self-efficacy of employees and the principles of dynamic management. The aim of the work is to study the principles of dynamic management that strengthen the general self - efficacy of employees. The aim of the work is detailed by the tasks that determined the following project structure: the theoretical part reveals the concept of dynamic management and its development, the concept of self-efficacy and its types, the concept analysis of dynamic management and general self-efficacy are made, the principles of dynamic management and features of general self-efficacy are identified and substantiated, the theoretical assumptions of the links between general self-efficacy and dynamic management principles are presented. The project part presents the results of a quantitative study revealing the expression of the employee general self-efficacy level and the principles of dynamic management in business enterprises. Correlation analysis was used to identify the links between the employee's general self-efficacy level and the principles of dynamic management in business enterprises. The methodology of the work which helped to solve the tasks consists of the analysis of scientific literature, questionnaire survey, statistical data analysis, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis. In the theoretical part of the work, based on the analysis of scientific literature, three principles of dynamic management (dynamic government elections, decision-making process and dynamic circular company structure) are highlighted. Employees general self-efficacy features (adaptation, positive attitude, past experience, stress management, perseverance, etc.) formed by four principal sources of information: performance mastery experiences, indirect experiences, verbal persuasions and related types of social inspiration, physiological states are identified. In order to assess the expression of the principles of dynamic management and the level of employees' general self-efficacy in Lithuanian business enterprises, a quantitative study was conducted. Its results showed that the expression of the principles of dynamic management in Lithuanian business enterprises reaches less than 50 percent. Assessing the statements of the research questionnaire separately, the expression of the majority of statements exceeds 50 percent and even differs significantly from the overall expression of the criterion. This shows that the principles of dynamic management are used in Lithuanian business enterprises in a non-systematic and non-methodical way, may be developed due to the influence of other organizational management principles or established due to organizational culture. The main obstacles to expressing dynamic governance are the problems of meeting moderation and the search for consensus. Assessing the expression of the general self-efficacy level, it was found that the majority of employees working in Lithuanian business enterprises have a medium or high level of general self-efficacy. The performed correlation analysis showed that in order to increase the level of employees' general self-efficiency, it is expedient for Lithuanian business organizations to focus on changes in the dynamic circular company structure and employee responsibility.

The EU General Data Protection Regulation shall be applied from 25 May 2018. This is the result of the personal data protection law reform in the EU. So far the legal regulation in the EU Member States has been based on EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC of 1995 that is implemented by the Law of the Republic of Lithuanian on Legal Protection of Personal Data. The aim of this article is to reveal the significance of the General Data Protection Regulation for the data protection law as an area of law. One can distinguish as significantly important those provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation which are due to impact development of the data protection law beyond the EU and accelerate globalisation of the data protection law in accordance to the EU standards. The said functions should be performed by those provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation that oblige non-EU data controllers to follow the EU requirements while processing personal data concerning data subjects who are in the Union and establish cases where data can be transferred to third countries or international organisations by way of ensuring data protection that is analogous to the EU standards. The General Data Protection Regulation redraws the limits of the liabilities for the compliance in the data protection law. The involvement of data protection supervisory institutions in daily data processing activities and its control is due to be reduced. It also strengthens the primary liability of a data controller for ensuring the compliance with the data protection law, promotes data controllers' autonomy and trust in them. Such significant impact to the data protection law shall be produced by the entirety of the following novelties: the principle of accountability, obligations to carry out a data protection impact assessment, to consult a supervisory authority, appoint a data protection officer, repeal of procedures for notification of supervisory authorities and prior checking. Efficient application of the General Data Protection Regulation in Lithuania can be encumbered by the lack of methodical, explanatory, recommendatory materials on interpretation and implementation of abstract new provisions. Due to lack of legal certainty purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation may be better furthered at the beginning of the application of the novelties by way of such regulatory instruments as instructions, reprimands and opinions rather than imposition of enormous fines.
