MINSK, 27 August (BelTA) – Patriotism lies at the heart of education. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the relevant statement during the Nationwide Conference on Teaching on 27 August, BelTA has learned.
The head of state said: “A lot has been done. We can talk about concrete results. We see high competition for military specializations. We see the growing interest of young Belarusians in search and recovery of relics of fallen WW2 soldiers, in the student volunteer movement. The number of school graduates, who leave Belarus to study abroad, is falling.”
“The work needs to continue. And remember that only patriots can raise a patriot,” Aleksandr Lukashenko added.
