[00:00:01] The Grodno and Samarkand regions signed a roadmap
[00:00:05] for cooperation during the visit of the Uzbekistan delegation to the regional
[00:00:08] center. The document enshrined joint plans in trade,
[00:00:11] industry, agricultural sector, tourism, as well as
[00:00:15] education and humanitarian sphere. The updated agreement
[00:00:18] will allow the regions to launch joint projects, and
[00:00:21] Grodno enterprises to expand their presence in promising
[00:00:25] markets of Central Asia. It's very good that there
[00:00:29] is such a direct interest between
[00:00:31] regions to work, because while we get through
[00:00:34] the ministry
[00:00:37] and concerns to get on this path, here there is direct
[00:00:40] cooperation, the hakim
[00:00:44] brought his businessmen and directors, that is,
[00:00:47] a very representative delegation, 46 people in all
[00:00:51] areas, so our task now is to connect them with
[00:00:54] specialists in their respective fields so that they can
[00:00:58] exchange contacts and learn.
[00:01:11] Uzbekistan, the population of Uzbekistan is growing every
[00:01:15] year, we already have almost 40
[00:01:17] million people, Samarkand region,
[00:01:21] today has over 4.5 million inhabitants and
[00:01:25] an annual increase of almost 1000
[00:01:28] is added, so it's a big one.
[00:01:45] In Belarus, the university admission campaign has ended, the main enrollment has been formed,
[00:01:51] there will be additional admission for certain areas, a total of about 40,000 people became students,
[00:01:54] almost 15 thousand applicants were enrolled for paid
[00:01:58] education, in addition to the main admission...
[00:02:09] For certain categories of applicants, special admission conditions
[00:02:13] were applied, so almost 7,000 people passed without
[00:02:16] entrance exams or out of competition. This group included
[00:02:20] winners of Olympiads and competitions of different levels,
[00:02:23] also among them were graduates with honors and the best
[00:02:26] pupils of the national children's technopark.
[00:02:30] In Belarus, digital technologies are increasingly entering medicine.
[00:02:34] We are talking about a mobile service - doctor's call. This
[00:02:37] is a tablet with access to an electronic medical record, data entry on
[00:02:40] the spot, and online prescription. Data
[00:02:43] is entered directly into the tablet, complaints, examination, appointments,
[00:02:47] are transferred to the patient's electronic record and instantly appear in
[00:02:50] the medical history. The algorithm analyzes the combination
[00:02:54] of symptoms, age, chronic diseases, current
[00:02:57] therapy. And gives the doctor hints
[00:03:00] in a matter of seconds. According to the developers, the system helps
[00:03:04] reduce the number of errors when prescribing medicines.
[00:03:07] The electronic prescription eliminates the need for a repeat visit to
[00:03:10] the polyclinic, waiting in queues. Patients
[00:03:14] are provided with the opportunity to log in to their personal account, which
[00:03:17] provides not just viewing examinations
[00:03:20] and upcoming visits, but also prescribed medications, sick
[00:03:24] leaves, and diagnostic tests:
[00:03:27] ultrasound, CT, MRI, X-ray. The patient can familiarize themselves
[00:03:31] with them, download them, print them, and
[00:03:34] provide them for consultation at another healthcare organization.
[00:03:38] The application was implemented at the city polyclinics in Minsk,
[00:03:41] and has proven to be positive because this
[00:03:44] service provides a higher quality of medical
[00:03:47] care and prompt provision
[00:03:50] of information to the patient for subsequent referrals
[00:03:54] to other organizations. Accelerating document processing
[00:03:57] allows for additional calls per shift in the near
[00:04:01] future. Plans include implementing voice data entry so that
[00:04:04] the doctor can fully concentrate on
[00:04:07] the patient. The Belarusian team took third
[00:04:11] place at the third Future Games in Astana. More
[00:04:14] than 800 people from several dozen countries competed, including
[00:04:18] the most famous esports teams in the world. The best
[00:04:21] were determined in eight types of programs, both in combined
[00:04:24] virtual-physical disciplines and directly in...
[00:04:28] The fourth Future
[00:05:00] Games will take place next year, and Brazil,
[00:05:03] Serbia, South Africa, and Uzbekistan are contenders
[00:05:06] to host them. To get to the forum as participants,
[00:05:09] it will be necessary to pass a qualifying selection.
[00:05:21] Women, of course, are respected in any country, valued
[00:05:24] in any country, and also in Azerbaijan, in Azerbaijan
[00:05:28] a woman generally loves herself, she takes great
[00:05:31] care of herself, and a woman is always on a pedestal, at a height,
[00:05:35] she must always be a vivid example of beauty, if
[00:05:38] we look at our very, well historical...
[00:05:50] energy is simply what everything originated from, female energy is the most
[00:05:53] important thing, if you look at a temple, architecture, there
[00:05:57] will be a woman, she, well, she will be the main one,
[00:06:00] a woman, but it's - I don't know - a creation
[00:06:04] given by God, without a woman nowhere, so may
[00:06:07] God grant women health, well-being, that they be
[00:06:11] loved and... After a short
[00:06:31] summer break for a short rest, the talk show on
[00:06:34] the essence, in the studio Kirill Kazakov, Alen Syrova our esteemed
[00:06:38] experts, today in the center of our attention is the main
[00:06:42] summer stress for those who this year were affected,
[00:06:46] surprised, positively, or maybe not,
[00:06:49] the admissions campaign, so if you have questions, please
[00:06:53] join our broadcast, here at the bottom of the screen is a link,
[00:06:56] a QR code, go to it, write your opinions, ask questions,
[00:07:00] we will try to discuss them during our conversation, and in the right
[00:07:04] corner is a link to the Telegram channel, where we share what
[00:07:08] we think and how we live behind the scenes. Good
[00:07:11] evening, let's begin.
[00:07:20] Well, generally, we usually informally agree behind
[00:07:23] the scenes who among us will start the program, this
[00:07:27] time after the vacation I really wanted to start,
[00:07:30] but I am, strictly speaking, a person who this
[00:07:34] year is very interested, my son entered, he entered,
[00:07:38] from September 1st he is a student of the journalism faculty of the Belarusian State
[00:07:41] University, I went through it. Strictly speaking, the whole company, and he is a target
[00:07:44] student, so strictly speaking, he
[00:07:48] entered in such an interesting situation,
[00:07:51] that for the target
[00:07:55] enrollment there were six people per place, for the first time, probably, in
[00:07:59] all history, well, which took place specifically at
[00:08:02] the journalism faculty, it was very surprising for me, and why? because
[00:08:06] these are some new trends, new requirements, maybe
[00:08:09] even new views of our youth. On how
[00:08:13] the admissions campaign should now
[00:08:16] be structured, but at the same time we received the same
[00:08:20] hate as last year, as the year before last, that
[00:08:24] our military go because they can't
[00:08:27] study, they go for the last option, that is, strictly
[00:08:30] speaking, if someone goes into the military, then those who failed,
[00:08:34] for example, some general education specialty, we don't have enough
[00:08:37] doctors, if someone goes to Mozyr, then those who failed in Minsk,
[00:08:41] all this... this story, of course, surfaced primarily in
[00:08:45] our social networks, we don't
[00:08:48] want to make excuses, in fact, because we perfectly understand that the situation
[00:08:52] is not like that, the situation is not so
[00:08:54] unambiguous, and the prestige of all professions that we
[00:08:58] have is closely linked to the economic situation that we planned,
[00:09:02] well, it's clear that, for example, in the late nineties, the fashion for lawyers and
[00:09:05] economists was due to the fact that these were the simplest
[00:09:09] specialties, and even, pardon the expression, I made sure that...
[00:10:55] as I said, also pass a medical examination, it's expensive,
[00:10:58] to pass all, all,
[00:11:02] well, it's called, but the requirements, yes, including for
[00:11:06] health, they, on the one hand,
[00:11:09] probably do not become much easier, but at the same time we
[00:11:12] understand that our youth are not the same as even
[00:11:16] 10 and 15 years ago, of course, the health requirements are not just that
[00:11:20] they are probably getting easier, they are probably getting tougher
[00:11:24] and tougher every day. That is, we must understand that a future officer is
[00:11:28] a person who must perform his duties in 20 years, and today's
[00:11:31] applicant who enters must meet the health requirements
[00:11:35] that are laid down for the future, that is, for 20 years
[00:11:38] ahead, he must calmly perform his duties and be
[00:11:41] healthy, but they say that the guys who
[00:11:44] come to enroll in military universities
[00:11:48] now are those for whom it is not just important
[00:11:52] to study, say, at a military academy, but those who...
[00:12:25] experienced a deficit in these flight personnel, today we
[00:12:28] have a very, very high competition, a large number
[00:12:32] of our applicants, our schoolchildren, want to enter a flight
[00:12:36] specialty, connect their lives with a military pilot
[00:12:39] and so on, and this applies not only to pilots, but also to
[00:12:43] ideologists, information security specialists,
[00:12:46] these are the areas that our guys choose
[00:12:49] and purposefully go into these specialties, well, we started
[00:12:52] today's conversation with the military, now we'll smoothly
[00:12:56] move on to doctors. Sergey Petrovich, well, because these
[00:13:00] two areas were hit the hardest during this admissions
[00:13:03] campaign. If farmers get hit every year, you
[00:13:07] are already used to those who did not get into other places coming to you,
[00:13:11] then for doctors this is the first time.
[00:13:14] What do you say from your perspective? I know
[00:13:18] that in various conversations,
[00:13:21] yes, about the evaluation of this admissions campaign, even
[00:13:25] before its results became known, but at the moment when it started to be actively
[00:13:28] hyped in social networks, many referred to the fact
[00:13:31] that even medical
[00:13:33] teachers say that well, target students, well, these
[00:13:37] will just be, well, low-quality students,
[00:13:41] when it turned out that the passing scores for target
[00:13:44] students were so high, and there was simply some incredible
[00:13:47] competition, hmm, probably some of these people can take back
[00:13:51] their words, but again, everything will be shown by their studies, these people will not
[00:13:55] take it back, well, I would like to believe that there are no
[00:13:58] such people in the ranks, but to what end? My question
[00:14:02] is this, when you went for an increase or for
[00:14:06] this change in the format of education
[00:14:08] and admission, were you ready for this
[00:14:11] admissions campaign to go this way and for its results
[00:14:15] to be like this, or did you expect something
[00:14:18] else? Well, we have been ready for several years
[00:14:22] for this admissions campaign, just like last year. For us,
[00:14:26] this year was not a big special feature, to be honest,
[00:14:29] the special feature was that there were more applications for
[00:14:33] targeted training, if in previous years
[00:14:36] the enrollment was around 1.2-1.3 people per
[00:14:39] place, then this year it's almost two people per place,
[00:14:43] these are quite good figures, because the guys who applied
[00:14:47] for targeted training, a total of 781
[00:14:50] students were admitted to the university,
[00:14:52] currently enrolled in targeted training. Almost
[00:14:56] 1,400 applications were submitted, all the guys who
[00:15:00] applied were of quite high
[00:15:03] preparation, I calculated that about
[00:15:05] 75% of the guys who entered our
[00:15:09] university had scores of 180 points based
[00:15:12] on two criteria: their certificate and
[00:15:15] their specialized biology and chemistry exam, almost straight-A students,
[00:15:19] that is, an average of nine on the certificate,
[00:15:22] and a nine on the exams, excuse me, did you
[00:15:37] students became target students, a little less than 781, but this
[00:15:41] is statistically, let's say, the same, of course, we
[00:15:44] expected strong students to come, because over
[00:15:47] the past six months since the New Year, we held open
[00:15:51] days, prepared students, explained,
[00:15:53] motivated, our teachers, our students, on
[00:15:57] the principle of peer-to-peer learning, traveled to
[00:16:00] regions, to schools, to gymnasiums, and extensively explained
[00:16:04] the peculiarities of medical education, conducted
[00:16:07] an online course for preparation for targeted training,
[00:16:11] and it is gratifying to note that this targeted
[00:16:14] training course was attended by over 1,400 students, meaning
[00:16:18] we already approximately understood how many of these targeted
[00:16:21] students would come to us and what their level
[00:16:25] of preparation would be, but their level of preparation has significantly increased
[00:16:29] compared to previous years, 2023, when we started,
[00:16:32] the average score increased by about 30-40%
[00:16:35] compared to 2023. This year,
[00:17:52] well,
[00:17:53] probably,
[00:17:56] the state gave us unprecedented conditions, increasing the number of students studying at our university
[00:17:58] by 255 places for budget-funded education. Of course,
[00:18:02] we are interested in students being assigned to jobs after graduating
[00:18:05] from the university, and all of our students are assigned,
[00:18:09] both paid students and those who study on
[00:18:13] a budget or targeted training basis,
[00:18:16] but here there are more profound moments, what we
[00:18:19] discuss with parents, with applicants at the open
[00:18:23] day or when visiting our university, as a student of a medical university
[00:18:27] for a week or a day, is that over these at least 5
[00:18:30] years there is a further trajectory of continuous medical education,
[00:18:34] although a doctor, a medic of any specialty, studies at...
[00:19:37] with these target students, it also revealed another point, that just like before,
[00:19:41] you know, on the CT, people tried to play guessing games and talked about
[00:19:44] how if you put B for 20 options, you would get
[00:19:48] 50 points, it was easy not to prepare, they tried to
[00:19:51] guess where they needed to submit
[00:19:54] documents to get in 100%, well, again, relying on the
[00:19:58] passing scores of previous years, we know that there were
[00:20:02] cases related precisely to the field of medicine,
[00:20:05] guys were very afraid that they would not pass
[00:20:09] the budget form of education and simply did not pass the CT, but went for targeted training,
[00:20:13] well, as if the scores were lower there, everything would be fine. As a result, without the CT,
[00:20:17] they did not
[00:20:20] achieve the goal they wanted
[00:20:23] by that path, to study, for example, at a medical university. Dmitry Sergeevich, my question
[00:20:27] to you: is it true or not that
[00:20:30] our, our children and
[00:20:33] their parents relaxed a bit and neglected the CT?
[00:20:38] Well, in
[00:20:41] your opinion, we remember that
[00:20:45] Nariks, just last year, there were pretty
[00:20:48] significant accusations that it was calculated incorrectly.
[00:21:20] Most likely, I will say, they even
[00:21:24] grew, and the quality of preparation grew,
[00:21:28] if there will even be a question about the Russian language, about
[00:21:30] the number of hundred-point scorers, which there have never been, yes, then
[00:21:34] this is actually the figure that justified
[00:21:37] itself, and we are talking about the fact that children study, or maybe
[00:21:40] the tests and exams became easier, no, we
[00:21:44] are talking about the fact that they did not, they did not, I will tell you as a parent,
[00:21:48] the tests absolutely did not become easier.
[00:22:20] Yes, but it is still in the school curriculum. We had such
[00:22:23] an interesting question, a question about candies, yes, such a problem was very
[00:22:27] popular in trends, in social networks. The problem about candies, it
[00:22:30] is unsolvable, he says, where did the problem come from, it was solved
[00:22:34] in just 3 minutes, we showed a school textbook and
[00:22:38] this program, and we say, guys, this is a school
[00:22:41] textbook problem from
[00:22:43] the sixth grade math textbook,
[00:22:47] and look, in fact, to say, well, I will say that this
[00:22:50] year, as it has always been, any admission
[00:22:54] campaign, especially the centralized exam, is a coordinated
[00:22:57] work of all government bodies, starting from the Ministry
[00:23:01] of Education, ending with educational institutions, and so it is,
[00:23:04] so how the guys pass the exam, so this whole vertical of it is
[00:23:08] knowledge plus luck, it has always been
[00:23:10] like that,
[00:23:13] well, well, let's say, you always need luck, but without knowledge
[00:23:17] there will be no luck,
[00:23:20] well, strictly speaking, yes, it depends on what ticket you pull out, Vyacheslav Viktorovich,
[00:23:23] look, we are talking about the fact that, conditionally speaking,
[00:23:26] the state calculates how many doctors are needed, how many
[00:23:30] teachers are needed, I have the impression
[00:23:34] that, well, parents, ordinary people who
[00:23:36] plan, for example, to give their
[00:23:40] child a profession, they don't understand
[00:23:42] that times are changing, and this whole system, how many
[00:23:46] we need of whom, depends, strictly speaking, also on time. Because
[00:23:50] it's clear that, well, 10 years ago, maybe we needed
[00:23:53] fewer teachers, because the demographic curve was structured
[00:23:57] differently, now more doctors are needed, there
[00:24:01] may be a little more engineers, this
[00:24:04] year's story, when suddenly it turned out that
[00:24:07] programmers are a profession that is no
[00:24:11] longer interesting to anyone,
[00:24:14] 10 years ago we said that Minsk is a city of programmers, and it's cool and so
[00:24:17] on, suddenly it turns out that programmers are so.
[00:24:20] not so cool, and BSUIR experienced this itself,
[00:24:24] this story, when we almost manually
[00:24:27] plan the
[00:24:30] order, does it even have a place to be, well, I will say
[00:24:34] that in this order the interests of direct manufacturers,
[00:24:38] various spheres of the economy, life, of our state are taken into account, that is, it
[00:24:41] is not just someone came up with it, this figure, it is analyzed, and
[00:24:45] economists, yes, planners clearly analyze
[00:24:48] these things, we ourselves see and know well
[00:24:52] those specialties for which we have certain gaps
[00:24:55] that need to be filled, whether it's doctors, whether it's farmers,
[00:24:59] whether it's teachers, because I will say that as for teachers, they
[00:25:02] are always needed, highly qualified, loving
[00:25:06] children, truly devoted to their profession, this profession will always be needed if we think
[00:25:10] about the future, well, I say this as a teacher, and economists and lawyers are also important, every
[00:25:13] profession is important, but I will remind you that a teacher is always at
[00:25:17] the beginning of the life path of any of our citizens, and what
[00:25:20] inclinations, what values will be instilled in a young person, this
[00:25:24] depends on the teacher, then he is guided by his aspirations, qualities,
[00:25:28] therefore, what we see today in our education system, this
[00:25:31] completed admissions campaign, for the most part, let's say, completed, personally pleases
[00:25:35] me, from my point of view, this is the result of a purposeful state policy
[00:25:38] that is being implemented, the orientation of personnel
[00:25:42] customers, educational institutions, to train those specialists who
[00:25:46] are needed today in our country. I remember the wonderful situation when...
[00:26:32] and the state apparatus, ministries, departments, and the universities themselves, what
[00:26:36] respected Sergei Petrovichko spoke about, yes, information is purposefully
[00:26:39] conveyed to potential applicants, future
[00:26:43] students, what kind of university it is, what you can get here, we
[00:26:47] at the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Republic of Belarus, at one time also went the same
[00:26:50] way, peer-to-peer, our students went to
[00:26:54] places, held open information days, and we see the result
[00:26:58] today, this indicates that our...
[00:27:01] with teachers, many say that
[00:28:02] a young person who
[00:28:06] comes to school, they are charged, they want
[00:28:09] to work with children, but often after studying
[00:28:12] at university, they don't understand
[00:28:16] what this work with children really
[00:28:19] is, that is, they face such
[00:28:22] difficulties that, well, even during practice, you just won't
[00:28:26] see them, because older colleagues shield and protect
[00:28:30] you, so these guys just get their
[00:28:34] placement and leave.
[00:28:36] Perhaps a person who consciously chose
[00:28:39] this profession, who studied it not
[00:28:43] only at university, well, roughly speaking, was molded
[00:28:47] into this pattern for many
[00:28:50] years in school, during their formation, perhaps, I don't know
[00:28:54] for sure, they will cope with these
[00:28:56] difficulties more easily and will come to
[00:29:00] the university a little differently. What do you say?
[00:29:32] competitions for pedagogical specialties at our university are growing year
[00:29:36] by year, our passing scores are increasing, this
[00:29:40] year a number of specialties, the competition
[00:29:43] reached a third of people per place,
[00:29:46] indeed the quality of
[00:29:49] applicants increases every
[00:29:52] year, but in addition to quality, it is gratifying
[00:29:55] that motivation is growing,
[00:29:58] motivation both for applicants and for parents who come
[00:30:02] with them. After all, let's be frank,
[00:30:05] the most expensive thing in a family
[00:30:08] is a child, and we all want a good
[00:30:11] teacher for our child, who, and this
[00:30:14] is not now, I am not talking about a person
[00:30:18] who is a teacher with great experience, who has worked for
[00:30:21] many years, believe me, a young person who
[00:30:25] may not have so much experience, but who has desire, who
[00:30:28] has enthusiasm and who has a mentor, believe me,
[00:31:02] after completing their mandatory work period, people remain in their first jobs,
[00:31:06] this is due to the fact that we try to send children to work in the
[00:31:10] region they came from, when they already have
[00:31:13] the support of their parents and neighbors,
[00:31:17] they usually work well and for a long time, and you say that your
[00:31:20] admission scores are increasing, well, let's give an example,
[00:31:24] well, the least popular specialty was
[00:31:28] and became, well, let's put it this way, at our university
[00:31:30] we cultivate
[00:31:33] the specialty of engineering and pedagogical education, these are masters
[00:31:37] of industrial training, who work,
[00:31:41] no, you see, how we understand
[00:31:44] this, no? Again, vocational training is a bit different,
[00:31:47] this is a teacher, uh-huh, and engineering and pedagogical education is
[00:31:51] a specialty, teachers for
[00:31:55] secondary vocational education institutions, for
[00:31:58] colleges, and, for example, this
[00:32:02] year, last year we only enrolled one specialty
[00:32:06] of engineering and pedagogical education, a master of industrial training in the field
[00:32:08] of construction. If we are talking about this year,
[00:32:12] then this year we have already announced two specialties and
[00:32:31] I remember, indeed, a time, and I know real-life cases,
[00:32:34] when 10-15 years ago, a person who had
[00:32:38] a C in physics would enroll to become a physics teacher,
[00:32:42] well, that happened, but...
[00:32:45] is it still like that now? No,
[00:32:48] it's definitely not like that now, our
[00:32:51] specialties in physics and mathematics
[00:32:53] and engineering and pedagogical profiles all have
[00:32:57] competition, and the scores, how can I say,
[00:33:00] they are growing, of course, they won't be 380-390,
[00:33:04] but around 250-280, we
[00:33:07] have these scores, and these teachers, as a rule, well, here
[00:33:10] it already depends on the skill of our university, we bring them to
[00:33:14] the required level.
[00:34:15] in our country is one of the fundamental industries, that we
[00:34:18] earn money, we, in fact, in conditions of global hunger,
[00:34:22] which we talk about here periodically,
[00:34:26] do everything to, in fact, feed ourselves and earn money from it,
[00:34:29] and the state constantly supports this sphere, that is, the president
[00:34:32] always works, so to speak, in the field, raises questions, still,
[00:34:35] as if
[00:34:38] The work of a person
[00:34:41] who received higher education in this field, it's like...
[00:36:15] this means they are very important. This is
[00:36:17] the technology of producing plant and animal
[00:36:21] products, formerly called agronomy. If not for these, I will tell
[00:36:24] you that this year , no matter what,
[00:36:28] it was about 1.4 people per place for this specialty, and we
[00:36:32] were not recruiting 20 people, for example, for agronomy, we recruited
[00:36:36] 160. Plus 1.4 per place - what
[00:36:39] a growth, how many people wanted it, but they
[00:36:43] would take everyone indiscriminately. No, well, how can you take everyone indiscriminately if it's 1.4
[00:36:46] people per place? Yes, the scores, the scores are 150 points,
[00:36:50] but don't forget that Russian language is used for these specialties, so
[00:36:53] that is, for three, well, that is, a certificate, two exams, in principle, this is...
[00:36:57] average scores that people got, received,
[00:37:01] so in principle, this is very important. And target enrollment, no matter
[00:37:05] what, this year too, a lot of work has been done with
[00:37:08] personnel customers. For target enrollment, we recruited 331
[00:37:12] people, which is a very good figure. This
[00:37:15] is what we are talking about, in total, we
[00:37:18] recruited 830 people, this is only for full-time
[00:37:21] education, because we will be recruiting for part-time in
[00:37:25] November. Well, this is a profession that, strictly speaking,
[00:37:28] allows people to study part-time, they are constantly in practice,
[00:37:32] they mostly work in production, because otherwise it doesn't work out.
[00:37:46] No matter what university, what institute we are talking about, what
[00:37:50] field, what profession, we still come across those clichés
[00:37:54] and those labels that are somehow hung up, where it's prestigious to study.
[00:38:27] you pull now, when
[00:38:30] the format of studying has changed, when
[00:38:33] again, we have many students who study on a budget,
[00:38:37] many students who entered target enrollment, respectively, the state,
[00:38:40] again, has already calculated that a certain number of specialists
[00:38:44] will join the ranks of our
[00:38:48] respected doctors in
[00:38:50] 6 years. It seems that there is an opinion that
[00:38:53] the ceremony will still be there, which means
[00:38:57] everyone will finish 100%, because the state
[00:39:00] cannot afford to lose these personnel, and
[00:39:04] this means, those who have already discussed the passing scores
[00:39:08] have come to terms with the fact that the number has increased, yes, this means, now
[00:39:11] another topic is being inflated, that the quality of graduates will still
[00:39:15] be lower than in previous years, because the situation is such, this is from history, they were put in
[00:39:19] a queue for a diploma, yes, yes, yes, in fact,
[00:39:22] will your policy regarding students
[00:39:25] change? I understand you'll say no.
[00:39:27] Well, I want to say that we always have, as you said, a rather strict
[00:39:31] selection at the stage of admission to our university, and
[00:39:35] of course, at the university, I myself finished my
[00:39:37] Alma Mater exactly 30 years ago. Of course,
[00:39:41] difficult studies
[00:39:43] in departments, both theoretical and clinical. Well, at
[00:39:47] the university, there are no random people. There are students
[00:39:51] who, during the first year, see that they are not alone. Yes, we
[00:39:54] annually expel about 10-15 students...
[00:39:57] There are also target students, budget students, and paying
[00:40:01] students who are expelled, but we always give such students a chance
[00:40:05] due to some psychological, psychophysiological characteristics. If he doesn't
[00:40:09] succeed, if he still doesn't see himself in this
[00:40:12] university, there is always an opportunity to
[00:40:15] re-enroll after a year or pass
[00:40:19] exams or re-enroll in the first or
[00:40:22] second year. This opportunity exists. Well, and there are
[00:40:25] students who just don't make it.
[00:40:57] medical universities, and from military universities, are students expelled for
[00:41:00] poor academic performance? Anastasia, of course, of course, Alena,
[00:41:04] excuse me, of course, those students who are not able to continue
[00:41:08] their studies, that is, to come to special disciplines in the first two
[00:41:11] years, as a rule, are expelled. In the third and fourth years, studies
[00:41:15] are conducted in special disciplines, but expulsion there is already
[00:41:18] unlikely, these are already the most motivated students
[00:41:21] who are ready to pursue this profession, ready to
[00:41:25] enter it, ready to acquire that knowledge.
[00:41:34] Well, we started talking a bit about your university in the first part of the program, these trendy tags now about
[00:41:38] artificial intelligence taking over jobs. programmers, well, for example, I've heard that
[00:41:41] if, strictly speaking, you pay artificial
[00:41:44] intelligence as much as a programmer, then in the grand scheme of things, it will do the same
[00:41:48] thing, it's clear that talk has already started about
[00:41:52] what BSUIR would be then, because strictly speaking, artificial
[00:41:55] intelligence replaces this profession. How much did you feel this story
[00:41:59] in this admissions campaign, or
[00:42:02] not, and you figuratively speaking, as we started
[00:42:06] to find out which professions might disappear with the help of artificial intelligence, journalists also tell us.
[00:42:40] In fact, the most important thing is that
[00:42:43] a specialist understands another area, for example, programming in
[00:42:47] agriculture, IT is now
[00:42:50] making great strides there, in this direction, for example,
[00:42:53] if a person understands agriculture, plus
[00:42:57] he knows how to program, plus he knows how to use artificial intelligence, yes,
[00:43:01] such a specialist will be in demand, it's an interdisciplinary profession that appears, yes, that
[00:43:04] is, practically into every university your
[00:43:08] specialty enters, in order to...
[00:43:12] Yes, of course, collaboration. I myself, to be honest, studied medical electronics,
[00:43:15] I myself studied at the medical university
[00:43:18] for a year, that was 20 years ago. Now
[00:43:22] our specialists, who on the one hand study anatomy and
[00:43:25] physiology, and on the other hand study electronics and
[00:43:28] programming, they are in demand, they find that it's still
[00:43:32] impossible, even in agriculture, to completely
[00:43:36] replace a person. We say that robots can
[00:43:40] do it, but still, a person controls this process. If he thoughtlessly
[00:43:44] presses buttons, then we will get the results that happened
[00:43:47] 2 years ago in the Vitebsk region, remember, all those piglets
[00:43:51] burned down. The question is, again,
[00:43:55] do you have such options
[00:43:58] for interdisciplinary training so that people
[00:44:01] who can, not just do some conventionally primitive work,
[00:44:05] but those who can also develop
[00:44:08] the farms they will join, come to agriculture?
[00:44:12] Well, let me just add here, remember Dolly the sheep, which was supposedly cloned?
[00:44:15] This is agriculture, agriculture, something like that, for example.
[00:44:19] Well, I want to say, we are already a little
[00:44:23] closer to agriculture -
[00:44:27] this is precision farming technologies. We have been implementing
[00:44:30] them for several years, collaborating with BSUIR, with specialists,
[00:44:34] we work, we have the Gorki Technopark,
[00:44:37] yes, where we are developing.
[00:45:40] these are people who received
[00:45:43] education and learned to do something, let's say, manually. Then
[00:45:46] technologies came, these technologies became a help, and
[00:45:50] conditionally, people who can do both,
[00:45:53] and differently, now,
[00:45:56] when we are chasing automation of
[00:45:59] production, there is something else. Well, we
[00:46:03] keep in mind the option that a person who comes to work, again, in
[00:46:07] the field of precision farming, will...
[00:47:22] or will be able to work without using
[00:47:25] various, so to speak, auxiliary things, yes, but in
[00:47:28] the modern world, he must at the same time, be able
[00:47:31] to use the same artificial intelligence, some
[00:47:34] new technologies, again, in the same precision farming
[00:47:38] and work. Sergey
[00:47:41] Nikolaevich, well, here we are talking about technologies, about zoomers, in
[00:47:44] general,
[00:47:46] this admission campaign for zoomers, what
[00:47:50] was it like? What interested zoomers? Well,
[00:48:24] it should be noted that the admission campaign that we
[00:48:28] have already completed this year at our universities, showed
[00:48:31] precisely the interest of our applicants in all
[00:48:35] specialties and areas for which admission was announced this
[00:48:39] year. Can I ask you to speak a little louder? Every
[00:48:42] fourth place in our universities is an engineering place,
[00:48:46] and we filled these places in full, and this indicates that
[00:48:49] young people who today choose not so much the university
[00:48:53] as their future workplace, understand and are pragmatic
[00:48:56] about their choice, not just to enter, so to speak, a
[00:48:59] popular well-known university, but where will I work tomorrow? Today,
[00:49:03] such career guidance work
[00:49:06] is already beginning today with prospective students next year,
[00:49:10] that is, these are open days, these are job fairs, fairs
[00:49:13] of targeted training and a number of other, perhaps inconspicuous events
[00:49:17] that are held, that is, they annually allow young people to make a conscious
[00:49:21] choice.
[00:49:30] we see, yes, that the number of technical specialists who are entering universities today is growing, and the competition for these specialties is growing, and colleagues rightly noted here
[00:49:33] that today IT technologies, artificial intelligence
[00:49:37] are not instead of these specialists, but together with them, that
[00:49:40] is, we provide good fundamental training
[00:49:44] for specialists, so that indeed, when this artificial intelligence is turned off, we
[00:49:47] can solve the tasks that the industrial sector
[00:49:50] of the country faces today. Our universities and colleges are focused on
[00:49:54] training personnel with this in mind. Listen,
[00:49:58] it's interesting, all these efforts that we
[00:50:01] made over a certain number of
[00:50:04] years, if the attitude towards targeted enrollment has changed,
[00:50:07] then it seems that the attitude towards
[00:50:10] secondary specialized education has started to change,
[00:50:14] that is, this boom, this psychological moment about
[00:50:18] the need for higher education for everyone, and those people who
[00:50:21] came for education, along with their parents, very sincerely
[00:50:25] asked why we need philosophy in the first year, that is, people who
[00:50:28] were going to get higher education, and
[00:50:31] it seems that now, it seems that now
[00:50:35] we have finally understood what higher education
[00:50:39] is, who really needs it,
[00:50:42] who can go to study there,
[00:50:46] after the ninth grade, to the same
[00:50:49] colleges or technical schools, and this will not
[00:50:52] be considered something in the category of "this one is smart
[00:50:56] and successful, and this one is so-so," no, not at all,
[00:51:00] in no case. That is, students who choose today
[00:51:03] the trajectory of entering colleges after nine grades
[00:51:07] or after eleven grades - this is also
[00:51:09] the most, so to speak, motivated youth
[00:51:12] who also consciously choose their profession. It should
[00:51:16] be noted that they also have the opportunity to get
[00:51:19] higher education, an additional trajectory,
[00:53:35] field, he chose the trajectory of secondary education first, special
[00:53:38] there, finished college, then he has this desire, aspiration to develop and
[00:53:42] move in the scientific field, it will find embodiment in higher education, no one forbids
[00:53:46] graduates this, it is absolutely correct, having received a practical
[00:53:49] specialty, he further develops in a theoretical sense and then as
[00:53:52] a result can very well come to a scientific organization, already having
[00:53:56] practical experience, from my point of view, this will even be a very good scientist
[00:54:00] who has gone through not only theoretical school with all the
[00:54:03] practical components that we have.
[00:54:35] interact, do something together, then they go, choose, enter
[00:54:38] some university, secondary specialized, but they already
[00:54:41] have an idea about the scientific field, they already have, since he came here to us,
[00:54:45] it means, yes, he was interested, it means, they told him on Science Day what
[00:54:49] this or that scientific field is, he came, he has aspirations, and I
[00:54:52] am convinced that our education system will not extinguish this aspiration,
[00:54:56] therefore I do not disagree with the idea that if fewer people
[00:55:00] enroll in higher education institutions from the beginning, yes,
[00:55:03] then educational institutions, we will get, it means, a decrease
[00:55:06] in the number of people in the scientific field, no, I will say this, that there are always
[00:55:10] people in society who strive for the scientific field, and
[00:55:14] what path they take, it means, that is good in terms of speed,
[00:55:18] for example, if he entered a higher education institution, went, but also a more
[00:55:21] long, but practically oriented path, it is also useful for science.
[00:55:25] Sergey Nikolaevich, I often listen to Viktorovich
[00:55:28] now, and I think, from the point of view of your
[00:55:31] sociology, which you summarize based on the results of the admissions campaign?
[00:55:35] Can we, for example, say that artificial intelligence really kills
[00:55:38] some professions? We see that it's
[00:55:41] not interesting to apply here, there are fewer applicants here.
[00:55:45] This is not the problem that it's not fashionable, but the problem is
[00:55:49] that we clearly understand that this post-industrial
[00:55:52] society of artificial intelligence is already coming
[00:55:55] here. Well, I will note that the issues
[00:55:58] of studying artificial intelligence technologies are now actively
[00:56:01] being implemented in all specialties in our universities.
[00:57:05] if some specialty, conditionally, is outdated or dying, then we certainly
[00:57:08] adjust admission to this specialty. This also includes
[00:57:11] our restriction on young people entering
[00:57:15] non-core specialties in universities, which. this kind of work has been carried out
[00:57:18] in recent years, that is, when a university is tailored to
[00:57:22] its own profile. If it trains chemists, technologists for the chemical
[00:57:26] industry, then this is its main profile, and the specialists
[00:57:29] it graduates, it must train precisely for this industry. Yes, there will
[00:57:33] probably be economists, maybe managers, marketers, but they must be specifically
[00:57:36] for these enterprises, because in these
[00:57:40] universities, strong fundamental engineering training is provided,
[00:57:43] so that a hypothetical economist, coming to an enterprise, knows not
[00:57:47] only all economic issues, but also technology, and the issues
[00:57:51] of developing this production. Therefore, this is a process that does
[00:57:54] not stop, not for a day, not for a minute, and I emphasize once again, today
[00:57:58] we are completing, we have completed the admission campaign to universities, and we are already
[00:58:01] working on the conditional admission campaign for next year,
[00:58:04] evaluating the prospects that, the new directions that
[00:58:08] will be necessary in 4-5 years to work in some
[00:58:12] areas, like medicine, yes, they decided and reformed, yes,
[00:58:15] the admission formats and... Well, medical universities,
[00:58:29] they traditionally admit most applicants using
[00:58:33] state budget funds and targeted admission. If we compare with
[00:58:36] previous periods, it has not grown, that is, it has even
[00:58:40] decreased somewhat for some specialties. So, young people had
[00:58:43] an additional opportunity to apply on general grounds. This
[00:58:47] year even more than last year, in other areas, in other areas, that is,
[00:58:51] the trend is the same, that is, everything depends on the customer. That is, if today more
[00:58:55] engineers are needed for our leading enterprises, then
[00:58:58] of course we see that the number of targeted students for these specialties
[00:59:01] is growing. After all, a targeted student is not just a young specialist who
[00:59:05] will arrive at the enterprise in four or five years. A targeted student
[00:59:08] is a student with whom we start working already
[00:59:12] after admission, practical training at their enterprise,
[00:59:15] course and diploma projects for their enterprise, that is, everything is aimed at
[00:59:19] shortening the adaptation period of a young person who will then be assigned
[00:59:23] to an enterprise. Here we also actively work with students. We
[00:59:27] currently have an initiative called "Learn and Work." Over 140
[00:59:31] professions at our leading enterprises are now officially
[00:59:34] open for senior students to officially get employed, that is,
[00:59:37] not in a taxi, although, well, we won't talk about that here, or
[00:59:41] as a pizza delivery driver, but specifically at
[00:59:44] an enterprise as an engineer. By the way, can BSUIR students
[00:59:48] practice a similar story and work and study?
[00:59:51] This is, well, let's say, the most important condition is good
[00:59:55] academic performance, that is, if a student is not
[00:59:58] performing well, no one will allow him to work, let him study,
[01:00:01] finish his studies. If he performs well, of course, many of our
[01:00:04] students also work, well, by moonlighting in their
[01:00:08] specialty, because when I was a student, I also
[01:00:12] worked part-time. This practical experience, combined with the theory
[01:00:15] we study, gives...
[01:00:47] At the same time, our life so strongly requires
[01:00:50] the introduction of IT technologies that the number of
[01:00:54] enterprises that hire our students is growing, so we don't feel,
[01:00:57] for example, that artificial intelligence will make your students
[01:01:01] unwanted. But to conclude the program, just a couple
[01:01:04] of words. Every time we talk here, for example, about
[01:01:08] high technologies, or discuss again the development
[01:01:11] of the country's energy complex, I remember when the decision
[01:01:14] was made that we would have a third power unit. A person stood here and
[01:01:18] said: guys, if you want to live
[01:01:22] well in 5 years and choose the most
[01:01:25] promising specialty, choose what will be
[01:01:28] related to the development of nuclear energy, because our country, in
[01:01:32] general, is following this path, and I think that in order
[01:01:36] to make the right choice, of course, it's important to listen to
[01:01:39] your feelings, yes, your abilities, to mom and
[01:01:43] dad, of course, not to be detached
[01:01:46] from reality, but also... in general, to be at least a little interested
[01:01:50] in how the country lives, and what directions
[01:01:53] the country is developing, what it pays attention to. That
[01:01:57] is where our perspective will be.
[01:02:17] 2006, Europe +42 in Madrid, +40 in
[01:02:21] Paris, +38 in Berlin. These are not news from the desert, this is
[01:02:24] the weather forecast for the capitals of the richest continent
[01:02:27] on the planet. When the earth melts. Underfoot, first of all, labor productivity
[01:02:31] falls. At temperatures above 32°,
[01:02:35] the total volume of production decreases so much that one day of abnormal
[01:02:38] heat is comparable to half a day of a national strike. The European
[01:02:42] Central Bank calculated: each degree above the norm in the summer period
[01:02:46] costs the eurozone economy almost half a percent of GDP. Green
[01:02:50] energy dealt a powerful blow to the economy. This summer, a hot
[01:02:53] calm came to the EU, almost complete calm. And
[01:02:57] European wind turbines stood still, as did enterprises that... took a huge
[01:03:00] amount of electricity from them. It's not just about economics, at extreme
[01:03:04] temperatures hundreds of thousands of people are at risk. Each heatwave
[01:03:08] brings death, especially among the elderly, children, and
[01:03:11] people with chronic diseases. Looking at how traffic lights are melting, even
[01:03:15] railway tracks, how people fight in stores for air conditioners, how logistics
[01:03:17] is collapsing. The media increasingly write that European
[01:03:21] architecture cannot withstand the heat. We delve into
[01:03:24] the intricate global processes in the project

[01:03:36] The process of reshaping the world order has begun. This process is
[01:03:40] not one day or one year. The task of the
[01:03:42] commander-in-chief, Alexander Lukashenko, is to lead
[01:03:46] his country into this process as strong as possible, to stand firm and
[01:03:49] bring it into the new geopolitical structure of the planet,
[01:03:52] at least not weaker. And it has long been the main goal of Belarus and its
[01:03:56] president to prevent war in their country. And
[01:04:00] Alexander Grigoryevich is doing
[01:04:03] an amazing job with this task. Alexander Lukashenko, as a leader
[01:04:05] in economics, is engaged in creating strategic
[01:04:09] opportunities, and the rest of the vertical of power, the government, embassies,
[01:04:12] governors, and, of course, local authorities, must take advantage
[01:04:16] of them. It is a strong economy, not only today, but also
[01:04:19] tomorrow, that is the best protection against wars and other cataclysms. There is
[01:04:23] a famous phrase that very accurately characterizes Alexander
[01:04:26] Grigoryevich's basic approach to solving all
[01:04:30] issues: demand the impossible, and you will get the maximum.
