Lukashenko: the level of national education determines the security and well-being of the state

The President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, has congratulated pupils, students, graduate students, teachers, scientific and pedagogical workers on Knowledge Day and the beginning of a new academic year – as reported by the Belarusian leader’s press service

“Dear friends! Accept my warmest congratulations on the Day of Knowledge and the beginning of the new academic year,” the congratulatory message reads.

According to the Head of State, the first of September is our common holiday: all those who start their studies, those who teach and those who keep the kindest memories of their mentors all their lives.

The President noted that today, schools, colleges and universities in Belarus have opened their doors to almost one and a half million pupils and students. This is important because in our age the value of knowledge is constantly growing and it is the level of national education that determines the security and well-being of the state. The main thing is that young people should be brought up as true patriots and defenders of their native land, keep traditions and historical memory.

“May each new day be filled with diligent creative work and the joy of amazing discoveries,” the President underlined, sending his special congratulations to first-graders and their parents. “You, the youngest schoolchildren, are now starting your journey to the land of knowledge. Believe in yourself and you’ll succeed.”

Aleksandr Lukashenko wishes everyone a peaceful sky, health, patience, good luck and only excellent grades.
