MINSK, 27 August (BelTA) — Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko pointed out the problem of unacceptable attitude to graduates, working on mandatory job assignment, as he spoke at the Nationwide Conference on Teaching on 27 August, BelTA has learned.
“I am getting reports about the unacceptable attitude to graduates who came to you on mandatory job assignment,” the president told employers. “They often are forced to do the work that does not require any qualifications at all. And that's putting it mildly.”
According to Aleksandr Lukashenko, there is a similar situation with housing. Living conditions can be barely called satisfactory. In this regard, the president recalled that the government's housing policy focuses on the construction of rental housing. “If a university, school, college, plant, or factory need staff, we will support them in housing construction. They [institutions and enterprises] should be able to offer housing to those people who want to work for them,” the president explained.
“I am getting reports about the unacceptable attitude to graduates who came to you on mandatory job assignment,” the president told employers. “They often are forced to do the work that does not require any qualifications at all. And that's putting it mildly.”
The Belarusian leader also requested to eradicate the practice when every two years some heads of enterprises ask for a new specialist to replace the one who has completed the mandatory job assignment. “It's absolutely unacceptable!” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. He instructed regional executive committees, the Minsk City Executive Committee and the government to return to this issue once again.
