[00:00:47] Digitalization of technology, precision agriculture and biotechnology:
[00:00:50] modern agriculture is an industry with the prefix
[00:00:53] high-tech and profitable. The GDP of Belarus
[00:00:57] agricultural sector forms over 6%.
[00:02:00] including engineering specialties, two
[00:02:02] people per place, high competitions were held at
[00:02:05] the agro-energetic faculty,
[00:02:09] for the specialty automation of technological processes and
[00:02:13] productions, for the specialty energy supply
[00:02:16] of agriculture. The high interest of
[00:02:19] applicants in obtaining higher education is based on the systematic work
[00:02:23] of the relevant department. 400 career guidance meetings, including
[00:02:26] an exhibition, education and career, single open days.
[00:02:30] doors with the participation of leading personnel customers,
[00:02:33] worked for the result. We
[00:02:35] were able to find certain tools to show
[00:02:39] young people that not only engineering specialties,
[00:02:42] pedagogical, but also the agro-industrial complex is
[00:02:45] also a prospect in our country. In this admission campaign, we saw
[00:02:49] fundamentally new trends, very high competitions, regardless
[00:02:53] of whether they were capital or regional universities, there were for the specialization artificial intelligence,
[00:02:57] 385 points plus regardless.
[00:03:00] Grodno, Brest, Gomel or the city of Minsk.
[00:03:03] Second, this year we saw very high passing
[00:03:07] scores for foreign languages. And, of course, the classic
[00:03:11] engineering specialty. The main figure of this campaign
[00:03:14] is 3200 first-year students enrolled for
[00:03:17] free. And this is almost 900 more places than last year.
[00:03:20] The largest number of places were allocated for engineering
[00:03:23] specialties, this is almost every fourth, a strategic
[00:03:27] task for the coming years is to strengthen
[00:03:30] the potential of the industrial sector, it is important that
[00:03:34] each such place is confirmed by an application from the personnel customer organization. In general,
[00:03:38] the competition across the country was
[00:03:41] 1.7 people per place, that is, for those
[00:03:44] planned 32,000 places that are already
[00:03:47] filled, in total 54,300
[00:03:50] 54,300
[00:03:53] documents were submitted. This year we planned that every
[00:03:55] fourth person would be a future engineer, every tenth would be
[00:03:59] a medic. Every tenth is also a teacher, and
[00:04:02] approximately the same number for agricultural
[00:04:05] specialties. A few more figures that make this
[00:04:09] company special. More than 5,000 applicants entered
[00:04:12] universities in the country without entrance exams out of
[00:04:15] competition. Among them is Timofey Rukin, a young man,
[00:04:19] a graduate of the national children's technopark. This status
[00:04:22] opened the doors for him to the leading engineering university in the country. In
[00:04:26] BNTO he will study the development of mineral deposits.
[00:05:54] The main focus is on integration with Russia, China and the CIS
[00:05:57] countries. The Belarusian State University, for example, offers
[00:06:01] six such programs at the first level
[00:06:04] of higher education. This year we are offering
[00:06:08] applied physics jointly with the faculty of fundamental sciences.
[00:08:12] animation, we see that 7, 8, 9 people per place is
[00:08:16] already largely the norm, this indicates that the level
[00:08:20] of secondary special education is becoming more and more
[00:08:22] in demand, this is not just a temporary trend. This year
[00:08:26] 290 colleges across the country are ready to accept about
[00:08:30] 70,000 people for various levels of education, at
[00:08:33] the metropolitan college of modern technologies in mechanical engineering and
[00:08:37] car service, students are offered five
[00:08:40] specialties to choose from, each reflecting: labor market issues
[00:08:43] and the demand of the economy for highly qualified personnel in
[00:08:47] the top three: operational activities in logistics, operation
[00:08:50] of mechatronic systems of industrial equipment, as well as
[00:08:53] operation and adjustment of automated equipment
[00:08:57] for machine-building production.
[00:09:00] Workers, working hands or, let's say,
[00:09:03] specialists who know and understand
[00:09:06] technological processes, they will always be in demand, but
[00:09:10] approaches to working professions will change. Someone will still have
[00:09:13] to service robots, someone has to program them, and all this must
[00:09:17] be done by a competent worker. In total, this year the college
[00:09:21] is expecting 216 people for the level of secondary specialized
[00:09:23] education, 67 of them are targeted
[00:09:27] students. I myself am not from the capital, but from
[00:09:31] Soligorsk, I will apply for
[00:09:34] a targeted program, from the Minsk Tractor Plant, I chose
[00:09:38] it because I am
[00:09:41] familiar with this factory, a targeted
[00:09:43] program gives confidence that you will not end up
[00:09:47] somewhere far away, you could say, you will know where
[00:09:50] you are working and you will not worry,
[00:09:53] a strategic trend and a powerful career lift, that's
[00:09:56] how targeted education sounds in Belarus today, more than
[00:10:00] 12 thousand graduates of ninth and eleventh grades
[00:10:03] are ready to be accepted by colleges of the republic in this
[00:10:07] direction, among the personnel customers, pedagogical
[00:10:10] and ... are still the most popular.
[00:10:56] foreigners, the geography of educational services exports is wide, Zimbabwe,
[00:10:59] Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, people come to Belarus for quality
[00:11:03] education and a demanded profession. I
[00:11:07] like working in white coats, I entered
[00:11:11] a medical college, this college, to
[00:11:14] become a good dental technician in
[00:11:17] dentistry. After graduating from college, I
[00:11:20] plan to stay in Belarus, work,
[00:11:23] live, because I...
[00:11:25] I already liked it very much and still like it, it's
[00:11:29] strange. Early August is the traditional time when young
[00:11:33] specialists start their first jobs. This year, about
[00:11:36] 60 thousand new specialists
[00:11:39] started their duties across the country, a replenishment in
[00:11:43] the television family of the first information channel. Eight
[00:11:47] graduates of metropolitan universities are now specialists of the Bel
[00:11:50] National Television and Radio Company. The dynamic, often unpredictable rhythm
[00:11:53] of television, but... The new recruits are not afraid,
[00:11:56] each on their own experience has already managed to feel out
[00:12:00] the chosen profession from the inside. In high
[00:12:03] school, I then decided that I planned to enter the journalism faculty of PGU,
[00:12:06] then it turned out that I ended up here in Minsk, entered the faculty,
[00:12:10] and I decided that in my second year I already wanted to try my hand at it, to
[00:12:14] start working much earlier and gain these skills, then I already
[00:12:18] in my second year from September I started an
[00:12:21] internship at the news agency, I have been working for 3 years now.
[00:12:26] Even at the end of my second year, I already came here for an internship, first as
[00:12:30] an assistant, but already after half a year, as I started working as an assistant, I
[00:12:33] already gradually sat down at the console, I became very
[00:12:36] interested in how all this is managed, the sound on
[00:12:39] the air, to transform theory into practice on the ground, young
[00:12:43] specialists have been helped by mentors for many
[00:12:46] years in Belarus, because how adaptation in the team goes
[00:12:50] largely depends on future career and, importantly,
[00:12:53] psychological comfort. The basis of mentorship is an individual approach,
[00:12:57] a mentor who is always there at the initial
[00:13:01] stages of the professional path. Young
[00:13:04] specialists are always good, and this is not only efficient, a fresh perspective and
[00:13:08] a desire to simply embrace the immensurable, it is also the enthusiasm, the impulse that
[00:13:12] they give to the entire team, this year
[00:13:15] a very strong change came, look, only in our department
[00:13:18] of reporters, immediately two red diploma holders, well, this is
[00:13:22] the level, here is Yulia Ulasevich. Primary
[00:13:25] school teacher, class teacher of 4th A, the status of a young
[00:13:29] specialist ends this August. The mandatory
[00:13:32] period of work after university
[00:13:35] is completed. Which cannot be said about the love for the chosen profession, with each
[00:13:38] school day it only grows stronger, as does
[00:13:41] professionalism. Therefore, to the question, will she stay after,
[00:13:45] the answer, though short, is firm. This is still, as it were,
[00:13:48] a part of me, I have already gotten
[00:13:51] used to it, yes, I just don't see myself as anyone else.
[00:13:55] The teacher decided that this is exactly mine. The great
[00:13:59] mission is to sow the reasonable, the good, the eternal, this admission campaign
[00:14:02] resonated in the hearts of many applicants, in BSU a budget
[00:14:06] enrollment amounted to a little over a thousand places. The average competition
[00:14:09] was at the level of 1.7. And such interest
[00:14:12] is not an accident, rather a закономерность. Over the past
[00:14:15] few years, admission to pedagogical specialties in the universities of the republic
[00:14:19] has increased by more than 50%. Every
[00:14:22] third first-year student is a graduate.
[00:14:55] the most in-demand specialties are physical education,
[00:14:58] primary education, this year
[00:15:02] the specialty preschool education and educational
[00:15:05] work is very popular. For conquering
[00:15:09] career peaks and self-realization, young
[00:15:11] specialists are supported by the state. Support measures
[00:15:15] are diverse, from monetary payments to housing
[00:15:18] conditions, and, of course, guarantees for employment and provision of the first
[00:15:22] job, a ban on dismissal and refusal to hire
[00:15:25] such an employee, a separate package of social guarantees
[00:15:29] and bonuses applies in regions affected by the Chernobyl
[00:15:33] nuclear power plant accident. We annually
[00:15:35] build housing for young specialists to stay.
[00:15:37] That is, a young specialist comes to the district, receives an apartment, he also
[00:15:41] receives payments, there are one-time payments that he receives
[00:15:45] when concluding a five-year contract, so he receives 200
[00:15:48] basic units for the first five-year contract, when concluding
[00:15:52] the next five-year contract he receives 300 basic units, in addition
[00:15:56] to this he receives allowances to his salary.
[00:16:00] Future scientists, doctors, IT innovators, economists,
[00:16:03] cultural creators. Belarus chooses the future and very
[00:16:06] soon. It lives in numerous university and
[00:16:10] college auditoriums across the country. Intelligent, talented, ready for new
[00:16:13] heights, students are full of energy
[00:16:17] and desire to learn, and this is a strong foundation
[00:16:21] for tomorrow.
[00:16:51] editor's club, Western vaccines are somehow
[00:16:54] correct, and Russian ones are incorrect, all
[00:16:57] these vaccines were launched, so to
[00:17:00] speak, into production and use literally
[00:17:03] off the wheels, we will still see the consequences.
[00:17:07] with Covid - this is such a story about the preparation of the United
[00:17:11] States for possible scenarios of biological wars,
[00:17:14] of course, any feed additives, any
[00:17:17] fertilizers, you can buy, but what will you
[00:17:20] buy from there along with feed additives
[00:17:23] and fertilizers, what virus will you bring here
[00:17:26] and who will it be directed at, that's also a big question, there is
[00:17:30] colossal social Darwinism
[00:17:33] of the ruling strata in relation
[00:17:35] to the ordinary person.
[00:18:18] "Call of Polesie" was first held in
[00:18:21] the agro-town of Lyatskovichi in the distant, but not too distant
[00:18:24] year 2010. And since then
[00:18:27] it has invariably increased its reach,
[00:18:30] increased the number of spectators on its
[00:18:33] platforms, and of course, it has grown in
[00:18:35] scale. In 2020, due to
[00:18:39] the opening of a new venue called
[00:18:43] the open-air museum of the Pripyatsky National Park,
[00:18:46] our festival changed its location a little,
[00:18:50] but it became even cozier, it became even
[00:18:53] more convenient and, of course, it became bigger. The venue
[00:18:57] of more than 9 hectares, invariably, once every 2
[00:19:00] years, a summer Saturday in August, the second Saturday
[00:19:04] of August, hosts everyone at... its
[00:19:07] numerous events, and of course,
[00:19:10] this year will be no exception, we are expecting about
[00:19:14] 50,000 spectators who will go down in
[00:19:17] history together with those participants, together with
[00:19:21] those spectators who took part since
[00:19:24] the first festival "Call of Polesie" in
[00:19:27] the agro-town of Lyaskovichi, so historically this
[00:19:31] festival is not very young, but it has already
[00:19:34] managed to make its real...
[00:19:37] contribution to the history of culture, to the history
[00:19:41] of our modern state.
[00:19:44] Why was this particular agro-town chosen as the venue
[00:19:47] for the festival?
[00:19:50] The main idea of the festival in the first place was to
[00:19:53] show the traditions, the true traditions
[00:19:56] of Poleshuks, who live in the regions
[00:19:59] of Pripyat Polesie. The agro-town of Lyaskovichi is
[00:20:03] the administrative center of the Pripyatsky National Park,
[00:20:05] it is. the heart, and
[00:20:09] geographical and
[00:20:12] historical heart of the Polesian region,
[00:20:15] which stretches in the south of our country from
[00:20:19] the city of Ivanovo to the city of Mozyr,
[00:20:22] therefore the richest nature, the richest
[00:20:25] national traditions, which
[00:20:28] are preserved in this region, of course,
[00:20:31] infrastructural capabilities, these
[00:20:34] factors became the basis for... for this small
[00:20:38] settlement to organize
[00:20:41] and create such a true
[00:20:44] celebration of national Belarusian
[00:20:47] culture, like the festival "Call of Polesie".
[00:20:50] Therefore, probably, every resident
[00:20:54] of a big city today dreams of at least
[00:20:57] for a little while immersing themselves in...
