Deputy Minister of Education Alexander Kadlubai told reporters what ideas young analysts proposed for the education sector, BelTA says.
Today, the First Republican Forum of Young Analysts was held at the National Children's Technopark. One of the Forum sections was "Belarus as an Educational Hub". "The guys looked at what Belarus needs to fully meet the criteria of an educational hub, what are the pros and cons of an educational hub both for the country as a whole and for its economy. I would like to note that the guys are very prepared, they are no longer students with mundane questions, but people who identified critical moments and, most importantly, offered their solutions. We talked about how to attract foreigners to study in Belarus, what goal-setting is needed to train foreign students in our universities, how to make the education system more attractive at the levels from preschool to higher and postgraduate, as well as the trend of lifelong education," Alexander Kadlubai said.
He stressed that the key objectives of the project for the development of the youth analytical movement are to find young people who are interested in analytics, allow them to unlock their potential, create conditions for cooperation with BISR, and help them write research projects.
The Deputy Minister also noted that the forum participants offered a lot of interesting ideas. One of them is ways to popularize physics and mathematics education so that young people go to pedagogy in this profile. "The basic message is financial instruments, that is, an increase in wages in general secondary education institutions. Psychological and career-oriented components are also important," Alexander Kadlubai stressed. He added that such approaches are not implemented immediately, but have a basis to be discussed more deeply and applied in Belarus.
The first Republican Forum of Young Analysts is one of the stages in the development of the youth analytical movement "The Future of Belarus". The project is implemented by BISR with the support of the Ministry of Education.
