A specialized class "Young Prosecutor" was opened at Secondary School No. 34 in Vitebsk
The legal orientation class was established with the support of the Prosecutor General's Office.
– This is the seventh such class we are opening in Belarus, and I am confident that more will appear in the Vitebsk region thanks to the support of the regional executive committee, – noted Gennady Dysko, Deputy Prosecutor General. - We want you, young people, to decide on your future profession, to see what prosecutorial supervision is, and we will help you with this.
Vyacheslav Durnov, Deputy Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee, expressed gratitude on behalf of the regional leadership to the Prosecutor General's Office for the career guidance project:
– This is not only professional orientation; the most important thing is to prepare a Citizen (with a capital letter), a patriot of our country. The knowledge you will gain in the specialized class, by interacting with prosecutors, will broaden your horizons. And you will share this knowledge not only with the students of Secondary School No. 34 but also with your peers.
According to Mikhail Lapitsky, Principal of Secondary School No. 34, 22 students are enrolled in the specialized tenth-grade class. Social Studies, Russian, and foreign languages are studied at an advanced level. Additionally, students will have a weekly elective course "Worthy to Serve the Motherland," and meetings with employees of the regional and city prosecutor's offices are planned every two weeks.
– It is gratifying that the Vitebsk region now also has a legal-oriented class "Young Prosecutor," – emphasized the Prosecutor of the Vitebsk region Igor Ukrainets. – This is an important event for everyone. First of all, for the children who have a sense of justice and dream of dedicating their lives to legal professions in the future. By the way, prosecutors will personally conduct classes with them. They will be introduced to the history of the prosecutor's office and the specifics of service. In addition, students will attend some court hearings, witness the oath-taking ceremony, and other significant events, including those related to the investigation of the criminal case on the genocide of the Belarusian people. It is valuable for us to nurture an engaged young generation of patriots who love their country and are ready to defend its historical truth. And to whom, if not to such youth, can we pass on our knowledge and entrust the future?!
During the solemn ceremony, students of the "Young Prosecutor" legal class solemnly pledged to strictly observe the Constitution of the Republic of Belarus, preserve the historical memory of the heroic past of the Belarusian people, and achieve high academic performance.
– Studying in such a class is an excellent support for entering university, – said tenth-grader Dmitry Maletsky. – It is pleasing that specialized subjects will be studied at an advanced level. In the future, I would like to become a prosecutor – it is an interesting profession.
