Minsk, 27 November. Belarusian State University of Foreign Languages’ conference hall served as the hosting platform for the education ministry collegium. The meeting focused on the preliminary results of the implementation of the Youth Policy subprogram of the Education and Youth Policy State Program for 2021-2025 and approaches to implementing state youth policy through 2030.

Over 700 representatives from across the country participated in the event, including Education Minister Andrei Ivanets, heads of national government bodies, representatives of leading civil society organizations, leaders of youth associations, and youth workers.

The participants discussed key areas of state youth policy: youth support in the social and labor spheres, the health of the younger generation, the prevention of antisocial behavior, information security, the development of youth policy at the regional level, civic and patriotic education, and youth engagement in public and political life.

Following the meeting, strategic decisions were made aimed at developing the innovative potential of young people, strengthening the institution of the family, expanding opportunities for youth participation in public life, and improving the regulatory framework and interdepartmental cooperation.

As Deputy Minister of Education Ekaterina Petrutskaya emphasized, youth are not just a statistical category, but a strategic resource for the country. Today, young people account for 17% of the Belarusian population, and the future of the country depends on their activity, health, education, and civic maturity.

State youth policy until 2030 is a key component for Belarus's sustainable development!
