November 20, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Belarusian schools run 155 military-patriotic classes, said U\u0142adzimir Ihnacik, department head at the Ministry of Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From year to year, the ministry is increasing its efforts to launch such classes, he told reporters in Minsk. The same goes for military-patriotic clubs: “There are 62.” He said more than 1,700 students are receiving this training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, Belarus held 134 bootcamps for more than 14,000 students this year, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The authorities stepped up the indoctrination of children the presidential election of 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the defense ministry is raising donations for a National Center for Patriotic Education to be constructed at the Brest Fortress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On June 16, Education Minister Andrej Ivaniec said patriotic education begins in kindergarten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leanid Kasinski, the defense minister’s aide for ideology, said in December 2023 that patriotic education should involve the whole population. More than 1,500 children are trained at 42 military-patriotic clubs launched by the Belarusian military, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
