00:00:47Digitalization of technology, precision agriculture and biotechnology:
00:00:50modern agriculture is an industry with the prefix
00:00:53high-tech and profitable. The GDP of Belarus
00:00:57agricultural sector forms over 6%.
00:02:00including engineering specialties, two
00:02:02people per place, high competitions were held at
00:02:05the agro-energetic faculty,
00:02:09for the specialty automation of technological processes and
00:02:13productions, for the specialty energy supply
00:02:16of agriculture. The high interest of
00:02:19applicants in obtaining higher education is based on the systematic work
00:02:23of the relevant department. 400 career guidance meetings, including
00:02:26an exhibition, education and career, single open days.
00:02:30doors with the participation of leading personnel customers,
00:02:33worked for the result. We
00:02:35were able to find certain tools to show
00:02:39young people that not only engineering specialties,
00:02:42pedagogical, but also the agro-industrial complex is
00:02:45also a prospect in our country. In this admission campaign, we saw
00:02:49fundamentally new trends, very high competitions, regardless
00:02:53of whether they were capital or regional universities, there were for the specialization artificial intelligence,
00:02:57385 points plus regardless.
00:03:00Grodno, Brest, Gomel or the city of Minsk.
00:03:03Second, this year we saw very high passing
00:03:07scores for foreign languages. And, of course, the classic
00:03:11engineering specialty. The main figure of this campaign
00:03:14is 3200 first-year students enrolled for
00:03:17free. And this is almost 900 more places than last year.
00:03:20The largest number of places were allocated for engineering
00:03:23specialties, this is almost every fourth, a strategic
00:03:27task for the coming years is to strengthen
00:03:30the potential of the industrial sector, it is important that
00:03:34each such place is confirmed by an application from the personnel customer organization. In general,
00:03:38the competition across the country was
00:03:411.7 people per place, that is, for those
00:03:44planned 32,000 places that are already
00:03:47filled, in total 54,300
00:03:5054,300
00:03:53documents were submitted. This year we planned that every
00:03:55fourth person would be a future engineer, every tenth would be
00:03:59a medic. Every tenth is also a teacher, and
00:04:02approximately the same number for agricultural
00:04:05specialties. A few more figures that make this
00:04:09company special. More than 5,000 applicants entered
00:04:12universities in the country without entrance exams out of
00:04:15competition. Among them is Timofey Rukin, a young man,
00:04:19a graduate of the national children's technopark. This status
00:04:22opened the doors for him to the leading engineering university in the country. In
00:04:26BNTO he will study the development of mineral deposits.
00:05:54The main focus is on integration with Russia, China and the CIS
00:05:57countries. The Belarusian State University, for example, offers
00:06:01six such programs at the first level
00:06:04of higher education. This year we are offering
00:06:08applied physics jointly with the faculty of fundamental sciences.
00:08:12animation, we see that 7, 8, 9 people per place is
00:08:16already largely the norm, this indicates that the level
00:08:20of secondary special education is becoming more and more
00:08:22in demand, this is not just a temporary trend. This year
00:08:26290 colleges across the country are ready to accept about
00:08:3070,000 people for various levels of education, at
00:08:33the metropolitan college of modern technologies in mechanical engineering and
00:08:37car service, students are offered five
00:08:40specialties to choose from, each reflecting: labor market issues
00:08:43and the demand of the economy for highly qualified personnel in
00:08:47the top three: operational activities in logistics, operation
00:08:50of mechatronic systems of industrial equipment, as well as
00:08:53operation and adjustment of automated equipment
00:08:57for machine-building production.
00:09:00Workers, working hands or, let's say,
00:09:03specialists who know and understand
00:09:06technological processes, they will always be in demand, but
00:09:10approaches to working professions will change. Someone will still have
00:09:13to service robots, someone has to program them, and all this must
00:09:17be done by a competent worker. In total, this year the college
00:09:21is expecting 216 people for the level of secondary specialized
00:09:23education, 67 of them are targeted
00:09:27students. I myself am not from the capital, but from
00:09:31Soligorsk, I will apply for
00:09:34a targeted program, from the Minsk Tractor Plant, I chose
00:09:38it because I am
00:09:41familiar with this factory, a targeted
00:09:43program gives confidence that you will not end up
00:09:47somewhere far away, you could say, you will know where
00:09:50you are working and you will not worry,
00:09:53a strategic trend and a powerful career lift, that's
00:09:56how targeted education sounds in Belarus today, more than
00:10:0012 thousand graduates of ninth and eleventh grades
00:10:03are ready to be accepted by colleges of the republic in this
00:10:07direction, among the personnel customers, pedagogical
00:10:10and ... are still the most popular.
00:10:56foreigners, the geography of educational services exports is wide, Zimbabwe,
00:10:59Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, people come to Belarus for quality
00:11:03education and a demanded profession. I
00:11:07like working in white coats, I entered
00:11:11a medical college, this college, to
00:11:14become a good dental technician in
00:11:17dentistry. After graduating from college, I
00:11:20plan to stay in Belarus, work,
00:11:23live, because I...
00:11:25I already liked it very much and still like it, it's
00:11:29strange. Early August is the traditional time when young
00:11:33specialists start their first jobs. This year, about
00:11:3660 thousand new specialists
00:11:39started their duties across the country, a replenishment in
00:11:43the television family of the first information channel. Eight
00:11:47graduates of metropolitan universities are now specialists of the Bel
00:11:50National Television and Radio Company. The dynamic, often unpredictable rhythm
00:11:53of television, but... The new recruits are not afraid,
00:11:56each on their own experience has already managed to feel out
00:12:00the chosen profession from the inside. In high
00:12:03school, I then decided that I planned to enter the journalism faculty of PGU,
00:12:06then it turned out that I ended up here in Minsk, entered the faculty,
00:12:10and I decided that in my second year I already wanted to try my hand at it, to
00:12:14start working much earlier and gain these skills, then I already
00:12:18in my second year from September I started an
00:12:21internship at the news agency, I have been working for 3 years now.
00:12:26Even at the end of my second year, I already came here for an internship, first as
00:12:30an assistant, but already after half a year, as I started working as an assistant, I
00:12:33already gradually sat down at the console, I became very
00:12:36interested in how all this is managed, the sound on
00:12:39the air, to transform theory into practice on the ground, young
00:12:43specialists have been helped by mentors for many
00:12:46years in Belarus, because how adaptation in the team goes
00:12:50largely depends on future career and, importantly,
00:12:53psychological comfort. The basis of mentorship is an individual approach,
00:12:57a mentor who is always there at the initial
00:13:01stages of the professional path. Young
00:13:04specialists are always good, and this is not only efficient, a fresh perspective and
00:13:08a desire to simply embrace the immensurable, it is also the enthusiasm, the impulse that
00:13:12they give to the entire team, this year
00:13:15a very strong change came, look, only in our department
00:13:18of reporters, immediately two red diploma holders, well, this is
00:13:22the level, here is Yulia Ulasevich. Primary
00:13:25school teacher, class teacher of 4th A, the status of a young
00:13:29specialist ends this August. The mandatory
00:13:32period of work after university
00:13:35is completed. Which cannot be said about the love for the chosen profession, with each
00:13:38school day it only grows stronger, as does
00:13:41professionalism. Therefore, to the question, will she stay after,
00:13:45the answer, though short, is firm. This is still, as it were,
00:13:48a part of me, I have already gotten
00:13:51used to it, yes, I just don't see myself as anyone else.
00:13:55The teacher decided that this is exactly mine. The great
00:13:59mission is to sow the reasonable, the good, the eternal, this admission campaign
00:14:02resonated in the hearts of many applicants, in BSU a budget
00:14:06enrollment amounted to a little over a thousand places. The average competition
00:14:09was at the level of 1.7. And such interest
00:14:12is not an accident, rather a закономерность. Over the past
00:14:15few years, admission to pedagogical specialties in the universities of the republic
00:14:19has increased by more than 50%. Every
00:14:22third first-year student is a graduate.
00:14:55the most in-demand specialties are physical education,
00:14:58primary education, this year
00:15:02the specialty preschool education and educational
00:15:05work is very popular. For conquering
00:15:09career peaks and self-realization, young
00:15:11specialists are supported by the state. Support measures
00:15:15are diverse, from monetary payments to housing
00:15:18conditions, and, of course, guarantees for employment and provision of the first
00:15:22job, a ban on dismissal and refusal to hire
00:15:25such an employee, a separate package of social guarantees
00:15:29and bonuses applies in regions affected by the Chernobyl
00:15:33nuclear power plant accident. We annually
00:15:35build housing for young specialists to stay.
00:15:37That is, a young specialist comes to the district, receives an apartment, he also
00:15:41receives payments, there are one-time payments that he receives
00:15:45when concluding a five-year contract, so he receives 200
00:15:48basic units for the first five-year contract, when concluding
00:15:52the next five-year contract he receives 300 basic units, in addition
00:15:56to this he receives allowances to his salary.
00:16:00Future scientists, doctors, IT innovators, economists,
00:16:03cultural creators. Belarus chooses the future and very
00:16:06soon. It lives in numerous university and
00:16:10college auditoriums across the country. Intelligent, talented, ready for new
00:16:13heights, students are full of energy
00:16:17and desire to learn, and this is a strong foundation
00:16:21for tomorrow.
00:16:51editor's club, Western vaccines are somehow
00:16:54correct, and Russian ones are incorrect, all
00:16:57these vaccines were launched, so to
00:17:00speak, into production and use literally
00:17:03off the wheels, we will still see the consequences.
00:17:07with Covid - this is such a story about the preparation of the United
00:17:11States for possible scenarios of biological wars,
00:17:14of course, any feed additives, any
00:17:17fertilizers, you can buy, but what will you
00:17:20buy from there along with feed additives
00:17:23and fertilizers, what virus will you bring here
00:17:26and who will it be directed at, that's also a big question, there is
00:17:30colossal social Darwinism
00:17:33of the ruling strata in relation
00:17:35to the ordinary person.
00:18:18"Call of Polesie" was first held in
00:18:21the agro-town of Lyatskovichi in the distant, but not too distant
00:18:24year 2010. And since then
00:18:27it has invariably increased its reach,
00:18:30increased the number of spectators on its
00:18:33platforms, and of course, it has grown in
00:18:35scale. In 2020, due to
00:18:39the opening of a new venue called
00:18:43the open-air museum of the Pripyatsky National Park,
00:18:46our festival changed its location a little,
00:18:50but it became even cozier, it became even
00:18:53more convenient and, of course, it became bigger. The venue
00:18:57of more than 9 hectares, invariably, once every 2
00:19:00years, a summer Saturday in August, the second Saturday
00:19:04of August, hosts everyone at... its
00:19:07numerous events, and of course,
00:19:10this year will be no exception, we are expecting about
00:19:1450,000 spectators who will go down in
00:19:17history together with those participants, together with
00:19:21those spectators who took part since
00:19:24the first festival "Call of Polesie" in
00:19:27the agro-town of Lyaskovichi, so historically this
00:19:31festival is not very young, but it has already
00:19:34managed to make its real...
00:19:37contribution to the history of culture, to the history
00:19:41of our modern state.
00:19:44Why was this particular agro-town chosen as the venue
00:19:47for the festival?
00:19:50The main idea of the festival in the first place was to
00:19:53show the traditions, the true traditions
00:19:56of Poleshuks, who live in the regions
00:19:59of Pripyat Polesie. The agro-town of Lyaskovichi is
00:20:03the administrative center of the Pripyatsky National Park,
00:20:05it is. the heart, and
00:20:09geographical and
00:20:12historical heart of the Polesian region,
00:20:15which stretches in the south of our country from
00:20:19the city of Ivanovo to the city of Mozyr,
00:20:22therefore the richest nature, the richest
00:20:25national traditions, which
00:20:28are preserved in this region, of course,
00:20:31infrastructural capabilities, these
00:20:34factors became the basis for... for this small
00:20:38settlement to organize
00:20:41and create such a true
00:20:44celebration of national Belarusian
00:20:47culture, like the festival "Call of Polesie".
00:20:50Therefore, probably, every resident
00:20:54of a big city today dreams of at least
00:20:57for a little while immersing themselves in...
