«Next week we will have a meeting of the Commission on Historical Memory, and we will consider the issue of renaming two schools. Vilnius Gymnasium named after Salomeja Neris and Vilnius Gymnasium named after Sofia Kovalevskaya will be renamed,» said Kamile Sheraitė-Gogelienė, Chairperson of the Commission on Historical Memory of the Vilnius City Council, to the Elta agency.
According to the politician, both schools themselves requested the renaming. «We have no lever to not consider their requests. And then, after our commission, the decisions will go for consideration to the council on February 28,» she said, noting that educational institutions have also proposed options for their renaming.
