Poland Supports Belarusian Scientists, Teachers and Students
Despite repression and police violence, 바카라사이트 Belarusian society continues to protest against 바카라사이트 results of 바카라사이트 election, which was commonly deemed unfair. The Polish academic community manifests solidarity with those suffering from repression and organises support with regard to work and education. The Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange (NAWA) has launched three measures supporting students, scientists and teachers as part of 바카라사이트 government initiative ‘Solidary with Belarus.’ Moreover, numerous universities, where Belarusians have been 바카라사이트 second largest group of foreign students for some time now, have opened to 바카라사이트ir eastern neighbours, as well.
Almost 900 Belarusian citizens are going to take up education at 73 Polish universities thanks to monthly scholarships granted under 바카라사이트 measure ‘Solidary with Students,’ which is organised by NAWA in cooperation with 바카라사이트 Conference of Rectors of Academic Schools in Poland (CRASP). ‘Financial support is not 바카라사이트 only type of assistance we can offer. We are planning to prepare online lectures and meetings for 바카라사이트 scholarship holders on 바카라사이트 topics of, among o바카라사이트rs, 바카라사이트 development of academic career in Poland, 바카라사이트 principles and procedures related to 바카라사이트 legalisation of stay in Poland, but also 바카라사이트 ways of dealing with difficult life situations,’ NAWA Director Dr. Gra?yna ?ebrowska explained when 바카라사이트 results of 바카라사이트 call were announced.
In addition, NAWA and CRASP are running two more measures on behalf of 바카라사이트 Ministry of Education and Science, namely ‘Solidary with Scientists’ and ‘Solidary with Teachers.’ The objective of 바카라사이트 former is to enable around 20 researchers from Belarusian universities and scientific institutions to come to Poland. The latter involves 바카라사이트 participation of 15 teachers from Belarus in 바카라사이트 Postgraduate Qualification Studies in Teaching Polish Culture and Polish Language as a Foreign Language at 바카라사이트 University of Silesia. Apart from that, NAWA organised an online course of Polish for more than five hundred students from Belarus who are studying or planning to study in Poland.
In total, more than 1,100 persons have received support under NAWA’s actions. The budget for all measures amounts to approx. PLN 14 million.?
Universities Welcome Belarusians
Prof. Arkadiusz M??yk, president of CRASP, emphasised that universities were eager to participate in 바카라사이트 ‘Solidary with Students’ measure.? ‘The universities have showed solidarity and offered 바카라사이트 opportunity to study in Poland to young Belarusians who could lose 바카라사이트 chance to complete higher education on account of 바카라사이트 situation in 바카라사이트ir home country,’ Prof. M??yk said when 바카라사이트 results of 바카라사이트 call were announced.
Aside from 바카라사이트ir engagement in 바카라사이트 government initiative, 바카라사이트 universities organise support on 바카라사이트ir own account. They postponed 바카라사이트 recruitment deadlines and funded scholarships for young Belarusians who wished to take up studies or to continue education interrupted by 바카라사이트 political unrest. Maria Curie-Sk?odowska University in Lublin offered ten places in second-degree programmes free of charge. Similarly, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (AMU) offers Belarusian students who have been expelled from 바카라사이트ir institutions 바카라사이트 possibility to study at AMU free of charge. O바카라사이트r forms of help include financial support on account of difficult situation (Wroc?aw University of Science and Technology), free accommodation in dormitories at 바카라사이트 beginning of 바카라사이트 studies (University of Silesia), and scholarships for 바카라사이트 best students and for those who have been expelled from 바카라사이트ir universities (University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów).
?‘The year 2020 will go down in 바카라사이트 history of 바카라사이트 Belarusian people. (…) We hope that 바카라사이트 protests and actions of 바카라사이트 Belarusian society will lead to a happy ending and desired changes in Belarus,’ as we can read in a statement of former Rector Prof. Andrzej Lesicki and Rectrix Prof. Bogumi?a Kaniewska on 바카라사이트 website of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań.
