On May 30, Minsk /BELTA correspondent/. Belarus needs capable and energetic people. This was stated by the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, on May 30, when meeting with students, university students and representatives of talented youth. This was reported to a BELTA correspondent by the press service of the Belarusian leader.
According to the head of state, talented people are the driving force of world history. "The Belarusian land is rich in glorious names. Their heritage - unique architectural monuments, masterpieces of scientific thought, literature and art - are our spiritual support and a source of national pride," noted the President of Belarus. "Today, our country needs capable and energetic people. Grand plans can only be realized by those who generate new ideas and bring them to life. Supporting talent is an investment in the future."
As Alexander Lukashenko noted, every child has their own innate talent, and it is important to see and support it in time. "It is precisely for this reason that an effective system of work has been created in Belarus, which allows for the full disclosure and development of the abilities of children and young people. Any talent can count on targeted, purposeful support and attention from the state," emphasized the President of Belarus. The head of state noted that dozens of Olympiads, festivals and competitions provide ample opportunities to prove oneself. This year, two more television projects have been added to them - "Children of the New Generation" and "I Sing!", which have revealed bright names that the country can rightly be proud of.
With the support of the state, a worthy scientific and creative generation is growing in the country, which honorably represents the country abroad. The best confirmation of this is the 26 high-caliber awards won last year by Belarusian schoolchildren at international Olympiads. The performances of representatives of Belarus at the Youth Delphic Games, the Sobinov Music Festival, the "New Wave Junior" competition and other prestigious creative competitions were also successful.
"The country provides all of you with unique starting opportunities. Make good use of them for your own benefit and for your Fatherland. May your medals and prizes bring real benefit to Belarus over time," Alexander Lukashenko wished the event participants.
"It has always been difficult for aspiring creative professionals to break through. In this regard, I would like to instruct the government to develop a system to support young talents in realizing their ideas and, in general, to give new impetus to the development of modern art forms where young people can realize themselves," the President said.
"We are proud of your achievements and place special hopes on you. But remember that much is expected from those to whom much is given. You have your whole future ahead of you. Be active and purposeful," the Head of State added.
The Belarusian leader separately addressed warm words to the educators whose efforts have led to impressive results. He also proposed to pay closer attention to talented educators working in the regions: "We have so many talented teachers in our gymnasiums and schools that it is simply inappropriate today to talk about some kind of deficit in universities. Take them from there, take these teachers, these enthusiasts who train these talented people. And I am sure that they will give a head start to all your teachers who are currently working in universities. They need to be brought from the regions and supported here."
Traditionally, Alexander Lukashenko presented certificates, credentials, badges, and diplomas to the winners of various international Olympiads and competitions. He invited everyone to an informal and frank conversation, encouraging them to express interesting thoughts and suggestions.
"I would very much like the talents born and emerged in our country to work for our country. Yes, you can go to study anywhere on the planet. You will be in demand. But you must remember that you should bring benefit to your people," the Head of State emphasized. At the same time, he noted that, as a rule, talented Belarusians eventually return.
"Of course, we will not hold anyone back, but as President, I would like you to live and work here. Because, no matter how you look at it, your homeland, our parents, the state have largely contributed to you not just being born talented, but being able to develop this talent. Therefore, from this point of view, you are simply obliged to work on our land," said Alexander Lukashenko. -0-
