Lithuania highlights the priority to promote changes in the educational systems aimed at ensuring the quality of teacher education and quality education for every learner and creating a good school for all. It requires that educators and education support professionals have the appropriate competences and are ready to work in the rapidly changing innovative school. Changes within the educational system, which are initiated by educational policy makers and academic communities, are closely related to the shift in the educational paradigm from teaching to learning and collaboration-based learning. A consortium of three Lithuanian universities, i.e. Šiauliai University (SU), Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) and Vilnius University (VU) – teacher education centres – in cooperation with international partners from Iceland and Ireland implements the project that focuses on strategic partnership for consolidation of academic resources in order to develop innovative teacher education practices of personalised learning (PL) in different socio-cultural contexts. The aim of the project is to develop, implement, test and transfer innovative practices of PL within the teacher education system(s). In this paper, the authors aim to share the first findings from the written interviews revealing the students’ study needs and questions related to students’ participation in their study process. Forty students and 20 teachers took part in the written interviews. Interview findings reveal the focuses, including challenges, of teacher training in three Lithuanian universities mentioned above – teacher education centres.
