Minister of Education Andrei Ivanets, Chairman of the Mogilev Regional Council of Deputies Alexander Goroshkin, member of the Council of the Republic of the National Assembly Viktor Ananich and other honored guests took part in the traditional red ribbon cutting ceremony at the entrance to a new school. It is a true multifunctional educational center with kindergarten groups, school classes, and rooms for additional education classes.

- Our country has one more temple - this is how President Alexander Lukashenko described the school at the Republican Pedagogical Council, - Andrei Ivanets noted. - The work of a teacher has always been difficult. But I am sure that the highest level of skill of teachers, their dedication to work will allow us to solve all the problems facing us.

He wished the children that the school would become their second home, which they would remember with warmth many years from now. After all, this is not only a treasure chest of knowledge, but also a place where we grow up, where the foundation of our entire lives is laid.

Alexander Goroshkin emphasized that the new school named after partisan, organizer of the Osipovichi underground Fyodor Krylovich is one of the most modern educational institutions in the Mogilev oblast:

— This is not just a school, but an educational, cultural, sports center that we can be proud of. Nowadays, it is not enough to give knowledge, we must educate a citizen, a patriot, teach how to think and express opinion. That is why the state invests so much in the development of education. The more we invest in young people, the more successful our future will be.

Viktor Ananich wished the schoolchildren to study well, develop in different directions, glorify the school, the city, the Motherland with wonderful deeds.

The new school will be the largest not only in the Osipovichi district, but also in the city. The building is designed for 955 places: 75 for kindergarten pupils, 880 for school students. It consists of three functional blocks. The central building contains the school's common areas: a vestibule, an assembly hall, a sports hall, a playroom, a gymnastics hall, a fitness room, a dance hall, a wrestling hall, a dining hall for 360 people, a library reading room and a book depository. The school also has a carpentry, metalworking and sewing workshop, a culinary room. The second and third blocks contain rooms for groups of kindergarten pupils and classrooms for junior and senior grades. These include physics, chemistry, biology classrooms with laboratory assistants, two computer science classrooms and language laboratories for studying foreign languages.

The complex has a physical education and sports area: volleyball, handball and two basketball courts, a football field, a hockey rink, a sports town, outdoor exercise machines, a sports field with a sector for throwing and jumping, athletics tracks, a training town for tactical training.

The educational center is located in the intensive residential development microdistrict of Chernyakhovsky. It is mainly inhabited by young and large families, who were eagerly awaiting the opening of the school.

Veronika Shcherba brought her two children today: Miroslava to the second grade, Liliana to kindergarten. Veronika is full of joy:

— In order to take her daughters to kindergarten and school, she usually left home at ten minutes past seven. Now such a wonderful school — bright, modern — is within walking distance, we will save at least forty minutes. It is very pleasing that in our country they care about the residents of small towns, young and large families. A new school also means new work places.

Director Victoria Likhacheva recalled that the residents of Chernyakhovsky asked for the construction of a school and kindergarten in 2020 during a meeting with the President's trusted persons. Thanks to the attention of the state, almost a thousand children were given the opportunity to study in one shift within walking distance from home. The school is run by 106 employees, including 60 teachers. Children will be taught by 8 young specialists, and 36 teachers of the highest and first qualification categories will pass on their experience to them.
