"The maintenance of the Belarusian language and culture by the Belarusian minority in Poland, as well as the honoring of their roots, serves as an outstanding example for all of us, Belarusians", — noted Pavel Latushka, Deputy Head of the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus and head of the National Anti-Crisis Management, during his visit today to the General Education Lyceum with additional Belarusian language instruction in Hajnówka.
At the lyceum, Pavel Latushka held meetings with the director of the lyceum, Igor Lukashuk, the leadership of the Hajnówka district, Belarusian language and history teachers, the leadership of the parents' council, representatives of the Belarusian Culture Center in Białystok, and organizations of the Belarusian minority.
The meeting discussed the activities of the Hajnówka Lyceum with additional Belarusian language instruction, the support of the lyceum by the United Transitional Cabinet of Belarus, and the preservation and development of opportunities for representatives of the Belarusian minority in studying the Belarusian language and maintaining Belarusian traditions.
Over 300 students study the Belarusian language at the Hajnówka Lyceum, which is one of the best in the Podlaskie Voivodeship and is highly popular for admissions. The lyceum hosts Belarusian musical and theatrical groups and uses white-red-white symbolism in the decoration of the educational institution's premises. In 2024, the lyceum celebrated its 75th anniversary since its establishment.
Pavel Latushka visited the Hajnówka Lyceum with additional Belarusian language instruction, following a meeting with Poland's Minister of National Education, Barbara Nowacka, which took place in Warsaw on January 9th.
