The future belongs to the “computer nerds”.

During the session dedicated to the issue of correction of admission rules of higher educational establishments and vocational schools, that happened in Minsk on Tuesday, May 4, the dictator has said that “higher education should not be mass”, it needs to “stay elite”.

Famous Belarusian film director Yury Khashchavatski has told charter97.org what it could lead to.

– This could only lead to strengthening of Lukashenka’s power. He acts logically from his angle of view. It has been noted long ago that Lukashenka dislikes people who are cleverer than him, and there is a great number of such people in Belarus, therefore, to keep the power he needs poorly educated people, capable of “running with the batons”. He doesn’t need educated people – “nerds”, who can bring Belarus to the new millennium, or actually return the country there. This is his logic.

– In many European countries the state, on the contrary, supports the citizens willing to get higher education…

– The next level of development of civilization, in which we live, is inseparably connected with the level of people’s education, their skills and abilities to understand the world, to go deep into its biggest secrets, to make discoveries in medicine, this is the future of our civilization. Of course, it does not belong to those who “go running with batons” but to the “nerds” sitting at their computers. These are the people who comprehend the world and its laws, the nature of what is happening around us. Certainly, Lukashenka is discontent with that as, who will defend its regime in this case?

Actually, Lukashenka is not original, Anatol Tozik said before that Belarus didn’t need so many educated people, vocational schools was the answer. This is Lukashenka’s understanding of how everything should work. To him, labour means standing at the lathe with a rasp, and he doesn’t understand labour connected with brains, this is not for him.

– Do you have an idea why?

– He cannot do this himself. Due to his barbarism, Belarus deteriorated to the current condition in 22 years of his reign. Absolutely everyone realizes this today, even his most passionate allies. Lukashenka drags the meanest and the worst qualities of any person out to the surface. This is the way he keeps the power and this is very sad.
