In the early stages of European integration, an education policy had not been identified as a political area for joint actions of the Member States. The first initiatives with regard to education by the European Communities of sizable political impact were undertaken in 1976. In December 1991, the Maastricht Treaty of the European Union finally laid the grounds for a legitimate role to be played by the EC Commission in the field of education. European Cummnity does not regulate the content of teaching and the organization of education systems of the Member States. The education policy of the European Union at present is mainly implemented through a series of programmes concerned with education and training. It is interesting to note that, while Member States of the Community are fiercely defending their own right to establish a content and methods of national education, the Community is recommending quite a different approach to the countries of Central and Eastern Europe. As a result, people in Central and Eastern Europe are starting to feel that the transfer of knowledge, experience, and paradigms, which takes place, on the whole, rather uncritically, threatens their cultural identity. Nevertheless, we should not underestimate the substantial positive impact of the programmes providing assistance to newly developing democracies, which were established by the Community after the fall of the Communist regimes in 1989 and 1990.

The purpose of the paper is to analyze both positive and negative aspects of corruption education in Lithuania. Although anticorruption education in Lithuania is a new phenomenon, but it is making a good progress: anticorruption institutions are established, various anticorruption education researches and projects with local and foreign partners are being implemented, anticorruption education system of public servants is formed, methodical training tools for higher schools and universities are prepared. It demonstrates the seriousness of the problem of corruption in the country and a real desire to overcome it. However, insufficient financing of anticorruption education, usually only a formal implementation of anticorruption measures in public institutions, the lack of ethical motivation in civil service, poor wittiness of the society hinder the efficiency of anticorruption education. The projects of anticorruption education are too theoretical and difficult to realize in practice. Anticorruption training in civil service is practically based on codes of ethics, which do not guarantee morality and clearness of their work. The role of mass media in forming anticorruption attitudes of the society is doublefaced. Sometimes non-transparent mass media discourages the fight against corruption, distorts real facts and diminishes the activity of the society. There are no methods to measure the efficiency of anticorruption education. Its influence on reducing the corruption will be visible only after some time. ; Korupcijos prevencija yra gana naujas ir vis daugiau atgarsio bei dėmesio sulaukiantis reiškinys Lietuvoje. Pripažįstant, kad kova su korupcija bus efektyvi tik įtraukus į ją įvairių visuomenės sluoksnių, vis dažniau akcentuojama antikorupcinio švietimo būtinybė. Straipsnyje atskleidžiama antikorupcinio švietimo problematika Lietuvoje, išryškinami esminiai antikorupcinės teisinės bazės, antikorupcinio švietimo projektų, antikorupcinio švietimo įgyvendinimo aspektai. Taip pat pabrėžiamas dviprasmiškas žiniasklaidos vaidmuo kovojant su korupcija bei supažindinama su antikorupcinių institucijų veikla antikorupcinio švietimo srityje.

The paper focuses on the analysis of non-formal adult education in an organization. It discusses the legal and political documents that regulate adult learning. The role of the organizational and individual perspectives in adult education has been theoretically substantiated. In recent decades, the rapid development of innovations within the market forces organizations to react to the changes. Human capital has become vitally important as it transforms and controls other forms of organizational capital (i.e. material, financial, time, etc.). In order to successfully conduct their activities the organizations cannot resist either the improvement of the work of the employees or learning as such. Therefore, due to the development of knowledge society and active processes of globalization, adult people experience an urgent need to improve their professional qualification, expand the horizons of their knowledge and acquire new specialities to optimally match the changing conditions of life. For all that, could we consider the persons working in an organization being the progressive workers? Who is more motivated in such learning – an organization, or its employee? On the other hand, is learning always efficient? Such questions encouraged the author to extend the analysis given in the paper.

Education accelerates a person's socialization, helps to improve present public and state relations and better specifies functions of every society member, citizen, their group as well as society. Due to this the state and the society develop education systems following economic calculations. Recently the adult education development has been facing new quality and quantity challenges. Thus for instance a demand for education quality grows together with a necessity to increase its supply (in formal and above all informal adult education). One of the most important positive financial circumstances is lately increasing financing of adult education mostly from the EU Structural funds. These and other factors require an adequate education policy and management. Some previous researches showed that one of the most important as well as problematic factors in the adult education development is the quality of adult education organisation in the self-government level. On the other hand, previous researches only indirectly and briefly elucidated elements of adult education organisation in municipalities. The paper aims at analyzing the situation of adult education organisation in municipalities. To collect primary empirical data the quantitative method has been employed. Representatives of education departments from 51 municipalities (out of 60 municipalities) and 48 heads of adult education centres (out of 53) have taken part in a questionnaire based survey. The paper consists of the introduction that reveals topic relevancy, determines the objectivity and sets tasks to achieve it. The first section analyzes the conception and policy of a life long learning as well as its realisation problems. It investigates the conception of the life long learning, overlooks regulating documents of the EU and Lithuania. The second section presents the analysis of data from the recent researches of adult education organisational aspects. It also provides data of the research "The Situation of Adult Education Organisation in Municipalities". The paper ends with conclusions and a list of references. Annexes introduce research questionnaires used.

This paper deals with the informational aspects of ensuring the social development of higher education – the strategic objective in creating the European higher education area. The importance of the informational aspects of social dimension in higher education is indicated by the fact that the EU education and training policy is based on the open method of coordination. Informational aspects of the social dimension of higher education are examined by performing an analysis of the EU documents on policy strategy, the Bologna Process documents, and the Bologna pro­cess progress report. The investigation has revealed a growing emphasis on the informational aspects of the social dimension of higher education, which is caused by the lack of respective information, the shortage of national data and non-comparability problems. In the analysis of the Bologna process report, the paper notes an expanding reach of the informational aspects of the social dimension of higher education.
