Traditionally, representatives
of the State Control Committee visited a rural school on Knowledge Day. This
time -- Petkovichi High School of Dzerzhinsky district, which will be 105 years
old this November.
Today there are 140
schoolchildren studying here, and 14 children started first grade this year.
Each of them received a book “Belarus - our Radzima”, as well as a pencil case
with stationery. The school wasn't left without gifts as well - representatives
of the control agency provided it with a color printer and a set of sports
balls.
First Deputy Chairman of the
State Control Committee Dzmitry Basko addressed the students, their parents and
teachers:
- Today is an exciting day for
everyone at the lineup. And first of all for our first graders. Each of us
remembers our first day at school, our first teacher. Many, having grown up,
give their children to the first grade themselves. Or maybe it is not the first
time they take their children to school. And still every time this event
excites both children and their parents.
Before the beginning of the
line Dmitry Basko took a look at the conditions of education in Petkovichi
School, and also visited a lesson in the first grade.
