More than a thousand teachers from all over the country came to Minsk for the Republican Pedagogical Council.
The significance of the event was attached by the participation of the head of state. The President is convinced that everyone needs this meeting today. Time poses unprecedented and serious challenges to teachers, their seriousness. They include the pandemic, which forced the urgent adaptation of the teaching process, and heated political events of last year, which also tested the strength of teachers. Many had a lot of courage. It made us take a new look at the mission of teachers: their role in the fate of the nation and the country has increased manifold. That is how today Alexander Lukashenko started his conversation with teachers from all the regions of Belarus.
The President is convinced that there is a real struggle for values in today's world. Belarusians have managed to preserve a lot: the classical system of education, equal access to knowledge and guaranteed jobs. All this is enshrined in law. Today, in the foreground are the issues of another order, they are associated with ensuring national security, and here the educational role of schools can hardly be overestimated.
A major pedagogical council: topical questions of improving education
The meeting took place in the format of an open microphone. Not every country can afford such a brainstorming session, said the President. Each participant could put questions to the head of state and express his/her position on the development of the education system and strengthening the interaction between family and school.
Teachers should focus on educational work. Minister of Education Igor Karpenko also voiced a number of initiatives: to expand opportunities for targeted training, combine school-leaving exams with the CT, introduce licensing when starting a private kindergarten or school.
There is no state without teachers, said the President. And he demanded to put schools in order. Only then there will be order in the country, and this will be the main standard of education in the future. But in general the whole coming year will be dedicated to improving the national education system. How do teachers themselves see the coming changes? And what tasks do they intend to solve first of all? They shared this following the results of the pedagogical council.
А. Lukashenko: The hard work of teachers will be supported financially starting new year.
The difficult work of teachers will be supported financially in the new year. Such instructions have already been given to the government, said Alexander Lukashenko. This also applies to the specialists of pre-school institutions.
The President also gave instructions to stop all experiments with textbooks, especially because no gadgets will replace them. The prestige of the labor professions must be increased. The President called this task strategic, and also called for a single standard for schools - from the organization of lessons to the appearance of students and teachers. Many important decisions will be made by the renewed Education Code, soon to be passed by the parliament. But before that, all fundamental innovations will be discussed once again at the presidential level.
