Belarusian education and Russia’s presence in it 

The results of the April monitoring study showed that the trends observed earlier in the current academic year have persisted.

In February 2026, previously established trends in Belarus’s education system remained.

The first month of 2026 showed a certain slowdown in the pace of the ideologization and militarization of the education system in Belarus, and this situation can be explained by a combination of several factors.

The last months of 2025 demonstrated not only the preservation but also the further strengthening of the process of ideologization of the Belarusian education system.

The first months of the new academic year have demonstrated a continuing trend toward the active presence of ideologization and militarization in the Belarusian education system.

The Belarusian education system has become even more ideologized, militarized, and dependent on Russia.
