The State Committee on Science and Technology of Belarus presented computer equipment to cadets from Luzhesno for the New Year
The meeting of the school's cadets with Alexander Shumilin took place in the library and was not limited to presenting gifts. The Chairman of the Committee informed the senior students about the latest news in world and domestic science, interesting historical facts, and current areas of activity of the SCST. The cadets showed keen interest in innovative developments, asked questions about the development of science, international cooperation and joint projects with other countries, unique developments by Belarusian scientists, and promising areas in which Belarusians are trendsetters. An engaging dialogue lasted for over an hour, after which the cadets thanked Alexander Shumilin and invited him for a tour of the school. The guest was shown how the educational institution had transformed since his previous visit – they proudly presented the new dormitory building, where the cadets moved in last winter, and talked about their achievements.
