[00:00:00] He lived in the youth, yes, should I say the surname or not [00:00:03] necessary, you can say it, we [00:00:06] are not afraid of anything terrible, no, so I also don't know anyone, [00:00:10] I just wanted to show him [00:00:13] that you know, this one who was present, [00:00:17] uh-huh, at the execution, yes, yes, and then [00:00:20] he put on, [00:00:23] uh, how was it, she [00:00:26] even told me, this one... [00:01:30] was not defeated, separate insurgent groups, such as [00:01:34] Romuald Rajs's gang, nicknamed Bury, continued their terror [00:01:37] until 1953. [00:01:40] The activity of the Home Army, which began under [00:01:44] the slogans of restoring Great Poland, by the 1950s [00:01:47] had completely degenerated into overt banditry, [00:01:51] robberies, and terror. For thousands of Belarusian families, they [00:01:54] remained in memory as thugs and punishers. The price of their [00:01:57] activity is thousands of crippled lives. residents of [00:02:00] Grodno region. This pain still lives [00:02:04] in people's hearts. [00:02:36] Summer flies by very quickly, there's almost nothing [00:02:40] left until the start of the school year. What changes await [00:02:44] students and their parents this year? There aren't that [00:02:47] many changes, but they exist, and the stability of our [00:02:51] educational system is a very important factor. Among the [00:02:54] innovations this year, the textbook line has been [00:02:57] updated. This is 28. [00:04:00] to help himself, a friend in one or another difficult [00:04:03] situation, new optional courses will also appear, [00:04:06] there are about ten of them. I would like to draw [00:04:09] special attention to a very important, in my opinion, [00:04:12] optional course, "My Psychological [00:04:16] Safety: Help in Crisis Situations." [00:04:19] It is important for both the students themselves. This optional [00:04:23] course is currently designed for fifth and seventh [00:04:26] grades, there was previously an optional course for eighth [00:04:30] and ninth grades, and we understand that the [00:04:33] issues discussed in this optional course [00:04:36] have become younger, and in fifth grade, [00:04:39] they are very relevant. We will talk about [00:04:43] emotions there, we will talk about the fact that [00:04:47] today it is necessary [00:04:49] to receive correct information from the surrounding [00:04:52] world and to react to it correctly. We cultivate [00:04:56] observation, because next to you is a friend who... [00:05:00] perhaps found themselves in some difficult, crisis situation, and [00:05:03] you, as a friend, can help them. That is, from [00:05:07] fifth grade, we will be taking care of [00:05:10] psychological health. [00:05:12] This is very important, moreover, psychology is now a trend, everyone is interested in it [00:05:16] now, children too, but it's impossible without it, we [00:05:19] realized that this is an important component [00:05:22] of the educational process, we also care about [00:05:26] psychological health, also [00:05:28] educational programs are being updated, as an example, I will give [00:05:32] the computer science program, the whole world is talking about artificial [00:05:36] intelligence, and this is not some distant future, this is [00:05:40] today's trend, we pay attention [00:07:43] when preparing educational institutions for the new academic [00:07:46] year - it is the readiness of sports [00:07:50] grounds, many have been renovated, [00:07:53] for example, in the Moscow district, a major renovation of [00:07:57] the inter-school stadium of schools 208 and 215, [00:08:00] this is a full-fledged sports complex with [00:08:04] a magnificent football field, there are exercise machines, running [00:08:07] tracks, opportunities for playing basketball and volleyball, and I [00:08:11] think that not only students will be pleased, but also [00:08:15] residents of the entire microdistrict. I would especially [00:08:17] like to mention the renovation in the elementary school of the fifth gymnasium, [00:08:21] Partizansky district, the elementary school in a separate building, they [00:08:25] never had a sports ground or a stadium to conduct physical [00:08:28] education classes. Now in the renovated building, on [00:08:32] the territory, which has also been updated, such an opportunity will [00:08:35] appear. And what budget was allocated to prepare the [00:08:38] schools for the season? [00:08:52] for the preparation of general secondary educational institutions, where we are talking about schools and gymnasiums, this is about 70 million, [00:08:56] these are impressive sums, every year they [00:08:59] increase, because we understand safety [00:09:03] and creating conditions for the educational process, [00:09:06] this is an investment not just in the future of our country, but in the future [00:09:09] of our entire Belarusian people. The staffing [00:09:13] issue, it is also very important, just recently I came across news that [00:09:17] in Poland there is a shortage of teachers, [00:09:20] 20,000 vacancies, and how is this [00:09:23] issue resolved in our country? I can say that the staffing [00:09:26] issue is generally always in the spotlight, because [00:09:30] it is very important for us to understand and [00:09:33] prepare personnel for ourselves, we start from school [00:09:37] benches, conducting career guidance work, [00:09:40] specialized classes were created. [00:09:47] pedagogical universities and colleges, which [00:09:49] these specialized classes graduated from, came to educational institutions, [00:09:53] and are working successfully. I can say that we [00:09:56] would like today more mathematics, [00:09:59] physics teachers, yes, indeed, these teachers have a heavy [00:10:03] workload, but we are making every [00:10:07] effort today to train them, targeted training [00:10:10] is one of the ways that allows us to [00:10:13] regulate this issue. This year, as in previous years, [00:10:17] educational institutions concluded targeted agreements, and [00:10:20] students successfully entered our pedagogical universities of [00:10:24] the country. We talk a lot this year about [00:10:27] the Electronic School project, it has been around for several years for many [00:10:31] schools, these are electronic diaries, electronic journals, what are the new [00:10:35] features here? We must say that a [00:10:38] republican information and educational system has been developed [00:10:42] in the Republic of Belarus, which will collect a large [00:10:45] amount of data and personal data, electronic diaries and [00:10:49] journals, and electronic textbooks, [00:10:52] that is, today the state has [00:10:56] taken on this function for the city of Minsk, [00:10:59] the use of electronic journals and electronic [00:11:02] diaries is not new, but about [00:11:05] 90% of educational institutions worked with [00:11:08] similar platforms, they were not [00:11:11] state-owned, now the state system [00:11:14] will combine all data arrays into one [00:11:18] system, and I can say that 300 institutions [00:11:21] today are starting this project on September 1st, [00:11:25] for the first quarter, [00:11:27] probably, we will see how this system works, [00:11:31] we will have the opportunity to make some adjustments, and [00:11:35] if this project is successful, then from January 1st [00:11:39] 2027, all schools in the Republic of Belarus [00:11:42] will be able to switch to this state service, out of [00:11:45] 300 in the republic, 48 are [00:11:48] schools in Minsk. The issue of school uniforms, 2 years ago, I think, [00:11:52] they announced a pilot project, that two. [00:12:25] and I can say that the experiment has already ended, because today [00:12:29] there are regulatory documents from the Ministry of Education [00:12:32] stating that there should be a business dress code, but [00:12:36] I can note that these 20 educational [00:12:39] institutions continue [00:12:42] to buy these school uniforms, and both students [00:12:45] and parents and teachers [00:12:48] liked this experiment, for the most part, of course, there are [00:12:52] different nuances, but... I think [00:12:55] that this element of school uniform, [00:12:59] capsule, supports team spirit, supports [00:13:03] discipline, in other educational [00:13:05] institutions there are elements, there are two of them, it [00:13:09] can be a vest and a tie, it can be [00:13:12] a jacket or a certain color blouse, that is, each [00:13:16] educational institution, adhering to a business [00:13:19] style, chooses its own elements, last year [00:13:22] limited use of mobile phones in schools, and I [00:13:26] believe that this is very correct, how did this experiment [00:13:29] show itself to you, did it affect the children's learning in any way? [00:13:33] I support your opinion, in my opinion, [00:13:36] this was indeed a successful innovation, and [00:13:40] we are specifically talking about restricting use during [00:13:44] school hours, both parents, students, [00:13:47] and teachers noticed that activity in the [00:13:50] lesson increased, concentration. [00:13:54] and the parent, first of all, I can [00:15:37] note that in the first [00:15:40] grade, no homework is given, this is very [00:15:42] important, the child must have time for development, for attending [00:15:46] clubs and simply adapting to [00:15:49] school, of course, many parents want to give [00:15:53] additional information or additionally practice, nobody [00:15:56] forbids it, but it is indeed important for parents to remember [00:16:00] that studying is the child's own work, [00:16:04] you cannot replace it. we will calm down so that everything is [00:16:37] done and a little [00:16:40] more. 100%. I completely agree [00:16:43] with you, I think that many parents will take [00:16:47] your advice to heart. I recently noticed such a tendency, even [00:16:50] in social networks there were messages that parents [00:16:54] right before school were looking for tutors to [00:16:58] prepare their child for school in the summer, [00:17:01] is this right? No, everything in its time, the vacation [00:17:04] period is for the child to rest. He should [00:17:08] develop, he should play sports, go to [00:17:11] our country health camps, he should [00:17:15] gain strength. Of course, the child should [00:17:17] read, cultivating a love of reading, developing [00:17:21] horizons is very important. Yes, there are children [00:17:24] who need to eliminate some [00:17:27] gaps that have accumulated over the previous academic year, and [00:17:31] parents resort to this, it is their right. But I want to remind [00:17:35] that the child must rest. [00:18:07] Then I got a job and stayed here. Belarus is [00:18:11] a beautiful country, all I can say about Belarus is only [00:18:15] good things, because this was the country that accepted me, [00:18:18] even without knowing the language. And it gave me [00:18:21] the opportunity to do here what I did in my country, that [00:18:24] is, I did not lose my dream. Belarus opened doors for me [00:18:28] to continue pursuing my dream: to dance and [00:18:32] sing. Thank you Belarus for [00:18:34] this.
