A profession given by God. The best teachers of Minsk received awards

The city holiday dedicated to Teacher’s Day took place in the concert hall “Minskconcert” on September 28, the correspondent of the agency “Minsk-Novosti” reports.

More than 30 thousand teachers work in the capital. Among them are teachers of preschool institutions, subject teachers, masters of industrial training, heads of schools and gymnasiums. Every day they interact with different categories of children – from the smallest Minsk residents attending kindergartens to boys and girls learning the basics of future specialties in colleges. But regardless of the children’s team in which teachers work, they all share a love for the profession and a sincere desire to educate worthy citizens of the country. On the festive day, the representatives of the education system of the capital sounded warm words of gratitude.

Deputy Chairman of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly Igor Brilevich read out the welcoming address of the Chairman of the Council of the Republic Natalia Kochanova to the pedagogical staff of Minsk.

- I sincerely congratulate you on Teacher’s Day. This wonderful holiday, filled with smiles, sincere words of gratitude, is a tribute to the daily, painstaking and very difficult work of our teachers. The victories of students, their confidence in their abilities, the right life choice - all this is the result of your patience, wisdom and faith in children. Employees of the education system of Minsk are rightfully considered one of the best in the country. Your experience, achievements and achievements are recognized at the national level, and colleagues from other regions are equal to the capital’s pedagogical school. I am sure that thanks to high competence, exceptional dedication to the chosen cause, you will continue to solve important tasks to strengthen educational potential and educate the younger generation of a responsible civic position, the appeal said.

The solemn part of the festive evening was dedicated to honoring the best teachers of the capital. 30 representatives of the Minsk education system received well-deserved awards.

The award ceremony was attended by the Chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee Vladimir Kukharev. He noted the dedicated work of teachers who have accompanied our young generation for many years: from first-graders who are just adjusting to school life, to graduates who are determined with a professional vocation.

Every teacher is a unique person. You are able to find an approach to each child, give the necessary knowledge, educate, thereby providing a ticket to adulthood, said V. Kukharev. He thanked the representatives of the city’s education system for their multifaceted and dedicated work.

On this day, six metropolitan teachers were marked with a breastplate of the Ministry of Education "Vydatnik adukatsy". They were presented by Deputy Minister of Education Alexander Kadlubay.

- There are a huge number of experimental sites in Minsk, and all these innovations later become the norm, Kadlubay said. He congratulated teachers on their professional holidays and thanked the city leadership for their serious attention to the field of education.

The awards were presented to the teachers by the Chairman of the Minsk City Council of Deputies, Chairman of the Minsk City Branch of the White Rus Party Artem Tsuran.

- The close attention that President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko pays to the system of education and upbringing is not without reason. This is a state-forming sphere. Our Minsk, Belarusian teacher, first of all, is a benchmark: both children and parents look at him and are equal. It is you who form this state view, a sense of patriotism that persists in our younger generation for many years, Tsuran said.

Certificates and gratitude to teachers were also awarded by the leadership of the Education Committee, the Belarusian Trade Union of Education and Science Workers. Veterans of pedagogical work were honored.

Warm words of gratitude to teachers were expressed by Deputy Chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee Andrey Strigelsky.

Minsk teachers are a brand, a sign of quality. Every year the education system of the capital demonstrates excellent results. Students are winners and prize-winners of national and international Olympiads, research competitions. And all this because of your indifference. A teacher is a profession given by God, said A. Strygelsky.

Among those awarded the Gratitude of the Chairman of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly is the director of the Gymnasium No. 30 named after Hero of the Soviet Union B. S. Okrestin Olga Marinyuk.

- In the gymnasium, we work in different directions. Students participate in the Olympiad movement, we pay great attention to patriotic education. We have a unique museum exhibit - a real combat aircraft, which is located on the site near the educational institution. There we hold events at the district and city level, the director said. A modern educational institution is a community of teachers, parents and children. Only together, helping each other, we can secure the future, lay the best in our young citizens of Minsk. On the eve of the holiday, I wish my colleagues creativity, positive emotions from work, so that every day they happily open the door to the Land of Knowledge and lead their children there.

A similar award was given to the teacher of Russian language and literature gymnasium No. 39 Elena Zachatko. This year, the teacher set a record: 16 of her students, who graduated from 11 classes, wrote a centralized exam for the cherished 100 points. But E. Zachatko modestly notes that this result is the contribution of the children themselves, who worked daily and hard.

- And my task was to motivate them, to give an opportunity to understand that they can reach any peak, the teacher smiles. Since the fifth grade I tried to instill in them a love for the Russian language. The main goal of the teacher is to teach the child to learn. This valuable skill will be useful in life. Today my graduates entered prestigious universities of the country. Someone - at the faculty of international relations, someone chose an economic or psychological-pedagogical profile. And this is the main reward for any teacher, when the dreams and goals of students are realized.
