History

In 1952 it was renamed the Pedagogical School, following the example of the Soviet schools. In 1959, in addition to primary school teachers, pre-school teachers were also trained.
In 1966-1968 the school was extended, extensions and dormitories were built. At that time, there were about 800 pupils and 80-85 teachers. In 1983, a branch of the school was opened in Kaunas, where kindergarten teachers began to be trained.

Choir directors, village band directors, directors of drama groups and later music teachers were trained. The number of students at the school grew to 1,500, and the number of teachers to 200. [3]
In 1991, the school was reorganised into a higher school of pedagogy, and the training of teachers in new specialities began. On 1 September 2001, the school was reorganised into a faculty of a newly established college.
The Faculty of Education and Social Work of Marijampolė College of Education and Social Work dates back to 1926, when the Kvietiškis Lower Agricultural School was established. It owned 64 hectares of land, the central building of the manor, residential and farm buildings. In the first year of school, 30-35 pupils, mostly children of medium-sized farmers, completed 4 grades. Each year, 20-45 pupils graduated from the school.
