June 30 – the Youth and Students' Day in the Republic of Belarus

30.06.2024

We congratulate our subscribers and colleagues from the Republic of Belarus on this annual holiday. It has been held since 1998 on the last Sunday of June.

On June 25, 2021, President Alexander Lukashenko signed a decree according to which the holiday was renamed from Youth Day to Youth and Students' Day. Such a change contributes to the improvement of the status of students and their role in the socio-political life of Belarus. Also, the shift in emphasis in the name of the holiday helps to unite student and working youth based on the best traditions of the continuity of youth movements.

You can get an idea about the youth of the Republic of Belarus from the results of sociological research on youth issues. The research is published by our partner, the state educational institution "National Institute for Higher Education".
