MINSK, 24 August (BelTA) – The education system of Belarus is facing an unprecedented challenge, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he addressed the National Pedagogical Conference on 24 August, BelTA has learned.
“Time poses an unprecedented challenge to the education system,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
The head of state noted that four years passed since the previous forum, and the last two years were difficult both for the country and for the education system. “It is very important that the forum participants represent all parts of Belarus,” he noted.
“We have been through a lot, including the pandemic that put the education system to the test prompting it to adapt to new conditions within a shortest period of time. The challenges include political developments that affected education system employees as much as security officials and civil servants. And today I thank those who did not back down and our entire teaching community for their professionalism, dedication and civic position that played a great role,” the president emphasized.
