There will be more practice-oriented programmes in educational institutions

The development of the education system for the next five years includes an increase in the share of practice-oriented educational programmes at universities and colleges. Today the country's economy needs young specialists who will have not only knowledge but also practical skills. For example, an experimental dual training programme has been launched at Polotsk State University and Naftan OJSC. At the same time, the role of regional universities is changing significantly. Six scientific and technical programmes have been launched for the first time. They will turn regional universities into the main innovation platforms for local enterprises. Quality education is one of the priorities of the country's socioeconomic development program for the next five years. The key goals for the industry have been defined by the state programme "Belarus Intellectual".
