A total of 559 schools in the region are preparing to admit students, with two educational institutions starting the new academic year with a new status. The Vitebsk Cadet School has been established on the basis of the Luzhesny boarding school-gymnasium for gifted and talented children, and a district gymnasium has appeared in Tolochin. In addition, by September 1, it is planned to commission sports and aesthetic complexes at Secondary School No. 18 in Polotsk, and by the end of the year, extensions will appear at the secondary school in Glubokoye. This year, the construction of an extension to the primary school-kindergarten in Novopolotsk has begun. In total, the academic year will begin for almost 110,000 children and adolescents in the region, including about 11,000 first-graders who will be attending school for the first time. Compared to 2010, the number of schoolchildren in the region will decrease by approximately 5,000. Along with the first-graders, over 580 young specialists will start their first jobs, and the region fully meets the existing need for teaching staff through natives of the Vitebsk region.

February 21 is the International Mother Language Day, a holiday that directly calls for attention to one's native language while emphasizing the uniqueness of each culture. It is also a holiday in honor of which an evening meeting "YOUTH IN THE DIALOGUE OF CULTURES" will be held at the Center of National Cultures. If this event were to be characterized by one word, the word "kaleidoscope" would be most appropriate.

The creative meeting is dedicated to the topic of fostering students' readiness for oral foreign language communication. Colleagues from two countries will discuss the most pressing issues they encounter in teaching schoolchildren and offer their perspectives on resolving these situations. In this regard, studying the experience of French educators is of great interest to Belarusian teachers, opening up opportunities for finding new forms and methods in implementing school foreign language education that ensures the realization of a personality-oriented approach to learning.
