J.Bartaškienė and other famous faces who have become students have to be tested by serious teachers – comedians Mantas Katleris and Mantas Bartuševičius, according to a TV3 television press release.

The better you complete the teachers’ tasks, the greater the chances that you will finish school and be able to travel home. The more mistakes you make, the more chances you will stay at school after lessons…
However, it is worth performing well in this class more than anywhere else – only this way will you avoid the not-so-desired title of “The Nation’s Dumbest”!

The first to leave the most famous Lithuanian class and become the smartest Lithuanian celebrity was actor and TV show host Vytautas Rumšas Jr. Who will be eliminated this Sunday, and who will stay longer at the bitter roots of learning?
Revealed the reason that could become her advantage in this show
Although J.Bartaškienė faces challenges boldly, she admits – many things have already been forgotten since school days, and there is not always enough time in her schedule to gain new knowledge.
“I take books from the library, start reading, and don’t even notice when it’s time to return them. I am so busy that there is simply no time left for reading,” she says.

Even at 76 years old, Joana does not intend to slow down the pace of life – her daily routine still includes plenty of work, projects, and meetings.
“My whole life is a constant rush. But that’s exactly what drives me! Since childhood, I have been used to hurrying everywhere, so if I stop, I will probably die,” she jokes.

Behind such enthusiasm of J.Bartaškienė lies her many years of experience as an athlete – artistic gymnastics developed her independence and determination not to give up. She believes this can be useful in the latest TV3 show.
“My sport is individual. Team sports offer different advantages, but individual sports teach you to fight for yourself. When you are used to fighting for yourself, it is easier to cope with problems in life,” she is convinced.

The possibility of being the last to stay in the class does not scare the longtime coach. The woman looks at the possible title of “The Nation’s Dumbest” with a smile – after all, it would not change what people think about her.
“What’s so bad about it? The whole of Lithuania knows me. I have been traveling for many years with motivational lectures, where I am welcomed with open arms – everyone knows what I am like. They know that I can inspire in my field. And all those historical things, you know, are forgotten,” she reveals.
Still, the woman is open that this challenge is much more than just another TV project for her. It is a chance to test herself, get new impulses, and once again be sure that even at 76, there is still plenty of room in life for new challenges.
“Let the love for life not retire. That’s why I am here,” is Joana’s philosophy, and her life itself is the best proof of that.
How J.Bartaškienė will manage to pass the exams of M.Katleris and M.Bartuševičius and whether her wish to leave the class first will come true, you will see very soon.
“The Nation’s Dumbest” – Sundays at 7:30 PM on TV3.
