The article analyses recent innovations in Lithuanian history textbooks. Since 1990, when Lithuania regained its independence, history textbooks with new innovative approaches and content have been published. The author of this study uses the content analysis method to summarise the innovations, which are presented in the history textbooks of five publishing houses: Šviesa, Briedis, Kronta, Tyto alba and Elektroninės leidybos namai. To that end, the author examined 20 history textbooks and distinguished seven most prominent innovations.

The article sets out to investigate the training of teachers for Jewish elementary schools in Lithuania between 1919 and 1940. It analyses the training of teachers for the schools of three educational trends, which were established by the Zionist education society Tarbut, the religious society Yavne and the Jewish Cultural League. The article reveals the development of teacher training from summer courses to long-term courses for teachers and the seminary.
