Parliamentary hearings: Changes coming to the national education system

10 июня 2021

Changes are expected in the national education system. In particular, an optional course on spiritual and moral education may be introduced in grades 4-5, and upon entering a university, an exam on the history of Belarus may become mandatory. Minister of Education Igor Karpenko made such initiatives today. Parliamentary hearings were held in Minsk. Deputies, teachers, principals, as well as heads of enterprises joined the conversation.

The Minister of Education also proposes to strengthen the social and psychological service in schools. The rules for admission to lyceums will bring them to a common standard, strengthen the material and technical base, and more quickly resolve the issue of a hostel for nonresident people. Interaction "teacher-student-parent" remains relevant. Special attention is paid to the training of teaching staff.
