MINSK, 17 October (BelTA) - The training of educated, competent, and responsible specialists is a strategic direction for the economy and the foundation of the state's progress and security, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during the opening of the Minsk City Center Technical Creativity for Children and Youth on 17 October, BelTA has learned.
“The training of educated, competent, and responsible specialists is a strategic direction for our economy and the foundation of our state's progress and security. We are investing and will continue to invest funds in the development of promising technical fields such as robotics, nanoelectronics, complex self-learning systems, and other areas of science,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
Belarus is continuously improving its personnel training and strengthening the collaboration between the education system and high-tech enterprises, the president said. “This is of utmost importance. As I have just been briefed, much has already been accomplished on this path,” he added.
Aleksandr Lukashenko expressed confidence that science must be closely linked to production. “We invent something, our scientists do the work, but production doesn't use it. That's a problem. Then we go looking for opportunities abroad, and foreign entities start to dictate to us, trying to convince us that Belarus is incapable of anything. Therefore, science, inventions, and production. Linking production with science and the creativity of our people will foster the creation of these kinds of industry-specific teams,” the head of state believes.
