Making education a priority: Migrants now have an option to continue their interrupted studies at a new online university, free of charge.

VILNIUS: A 22-year-old Afghan man landed in Lithuania on April 7 after reaching out to the president for help on YouTube and securing a temporary visa that paves the way for asylum. 

“I heard Germany has a lot of money, but I want to be in Lithuania. I speak the language,” said Abdul Basir Yoususi, a Catholic who once worked as an interpreter for the Lithuanian army in Afghanistan.
