The opposition media are full of such headlines: "Enrollment for many specialties in different universities is failing again." They say that our university applicants do not want to link their future with the service on the border and the command of tank units. They don't even want to study Belarusian philology. Was there an under-enrollment at universities in Belarus in 2022? The Minister of Education of Belarus shared the statistics.
"If we talk about our applicants, I would like to note that this year the number of budgetary places in our institutions of higher education was almost 28,000. If we talk about the under-enrollment, it was only 214 vacancies. This means that it is less than 1% of all places. All our higher education institutions of the uniformed agencies have fully complied with the admission plan of our applicants," said Andrei Ivanets.
He also says that people come to these universities for a reason: "These are people motivated and trained, for whom there are very serious requirements.
More than 200 applicants to the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs failed to pass the selection barrier. The minister said that this is the reserve, which can be used for admission next year.
