Vice premier comments on achievements, objectives of Belarus’ education system

MINK, 19 May (BelTA) - Belarus has firmly secured its foothold in the list of the world’s top performing countries in terms of education, Belarus’ Deputy Prime Minister Igor Petrishenko said at a joint meeting of the House of Representatives and the Council of the Republic in Minsk on 19 May, BelTA has learned.
 
“The prestige and quality of national education is also evidenced by the growing export of educational services. At the same time, modern changes pose new challenges to the education system and require its continuous development to meet the national interests and to match the economic needs of the country. For that we need to improve the legal mechanisms governing the sector," Igor Petrishenko said.

A new version of the Education Code has been drawn up. "Today the parliament continues working on this bill. It has already passed the first reading in the House of Representatives. Parliamentary hearings on the document are planned in June," Igor Petrishenko noted.
