„I presume that I will be ready to put forward [the candidate] next week. But I do not think this is some sort of a critical issue,“ Šimonytė told the radio station Žinių radijas in an interview on Thursday.
The position has been vacant since April, when Gintautas Jakštas resigned amid issues with organisation of mid-term exams for eleventh graders.
Minister of Social Security and Labour Monika Navickienė was appointed as Acting Minister of Education, Science and Sport.
On Tuesday, President Gitanas Nausėda expressed hope that an agreement with the prime minister regarding a candidate for the vacant seat would be reached in the coming weeks. He said the appointment might be resolved in July.
