Schools in Belarus will be incorporating new academic subjects.
Belarusian high school students are in for a change as the 2022-2023 academic year approaches. Starting from September 1st, a new academic year begins, and with it comes exciting new opportunities for 10th graders.
One such opportunity is the introduction of field training camps, scheduled for May 26th to June 5th, 2023. These camps, previously only available to cadets and suvorovtsy, are now open to all 10th graders. The camps do not seem to be linked with any advertisements, making them a pure learning experience.
In addition to the field training camps, high school students (grades 10-11) can now learn in-demand trades such as bricklayer, gas station operator, chimney sweep, plasterer, cook, automotive mechanic, and tractor driver in the subject "Employment". Upon completion of the courses in this subject, students can obtain a qualification level.
For those with a keen interest in agriculture, a new elective titled "World of Agricultural Management" has been designed for students in grades 7-9. This elective aims to help students understand the main branches of agriculture and food production.
Another elective being introduced is "Fundamentals of Quadcopter Management" for students in grades 8-9. This elective will teach students to operate drones, including through simulators.
However, it's important to note that these field training camps are not related to the electives "Fundamentals of Quadcopter Management" and "World of Agricultural Management", or the new course "History of Belarus in the Context of World History", which will be introduced for students in grades 10-11.
As for the earlier academic years, no specific information about new subjects and electives was found in the provided search results for the 2021-2022 academic year. Educational reforms, including new subjects or electives, are usually announced by Belarusian education authorities or ministries, often through official government or education websites. Therefore, for detailed and precise information about curriculum changes in Belarus for the 2021-2022 academic year, it's recommended to consult official Belarusian Ministry of Education publications or announcements directly.
These changes mark an exciting time for Belarusian education, providing students with a wider range of opportunities to learn practical skills and deepen their understanding of various subjects.
Education-and-self-development opportunities expand for Belarusian high school students as they delve into in-demand trades such as bricklaying, drone operation, and agriculture management, branching out from traditional academic subjects in the 2022-2023 academic year. Learning experiences continue to evolve, with the introduction of practical courses in subjects like "Employment," "World of Agricultural Management," and "Fundamentals of Quadcopter Management."
