Lukashenka: Least Of All We Need Mathematicians In Our Country

Also, the dictator has criticized Biology.

Aliaksandr Lukashenka said at a meeting on education that he has to deal with school programs every day, so he sees all the shortcomings, writes tut.by.

– It seems that we teach them all to become mathematicians. Let's be frank, I don’t want to be a retrograde: we probably need mathematicians in the country least of all. Schoolchildren must be aware of mathematics’ concepts, because in our life, we always come across mathematics. But there’s no need in great mathematicians, – he stated.

Besides, Aliaksandr Lukashenka is convinced that there cannot be many great mathematicians in principle. They, in his opinion, are very rare.

– And we start to do everything for this rarity. “We start teaching Mathematics in school in such a way that we scare children away from this Mathematics, from studying, – he noted. – I don’t want mathematicians to get offended by my reasoning, I didn’t say anything bad about them. But I repeat once again: a mathematician is a rarity. Let's train mathematicians somewhere in the elective courses, but mostly in high schools. And we start to transfer university programs to schools. Why do you do this?

According to Lukashenka, there are other subjects, the programs for which are not built correctly. As an example, he called biology.

– Recently, I looked at how biology is studied in the eighth grade: listen they study worms for half a year! Their structure, livelihoods and what the worm needs to do to become a parasite. Well, answer this question. Okay, let it be for the advanced. Yes, one must know about this creature, but why does he have to study it meticulously? – the dictator asked. – If you are a future biologist, if you took biology as a basis, yes, it is necessary. But how many such pupils do we have? That's the problem.
