September 24, Vitebsk / Olga Bogacheva - BELTA /. The transition to a new system of teaching foreign languages in the Vitebsk region went smoothly. This was announced today by the head of the education department of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, Ivan Shchurok, during a direct line with the region's population, according to a BELTA correspondent. "An additional workload fell on the shoulders of existing teachers, allowing them to get the missing hours or increase their workload to the desired level," said the head of the department, emphasizing that there was no rush or acute shortage of specialists for both urban and rural schools due to this, and the increased workload for teachers will not affect the quality of education. "We have enough qualified personnel to promptly resolve any issues in case of a shortage of teachers in any subject," Ivan Shchurok added. The direct line on education issues aimed to identify problems that arose with the start of children's education or were not resolved during the preparation for September 1. The head of the regional education department received about 20 calls from parents and teachers in the region. -0-
