Belarus: Saturday Schooling for Second Graders Raises Concerns Over Teacher Burnout
A recent social media post from Belarus has sparked significant discussion regarding the workload of educators and the structure of the school week. The video, uploaded by a user identified as ༺Катерина༻, features a young woman expressing her dismay over the continuation of a "sixth school day" on Saturdays for teachers and second-grade students. Speaking directly to the camera, she stated, "It's 10 AM on a Saturday, and we are at school. Why? Because it's the sixth school day." She passionately argued for the right of teachers to have a proper weekend, asserting, "Give the teacher a rest. A teacher is not a slave." The woman detailed the extensive administrative tasks teachers face, including numerous reports, monthly closures, detailed plans, journal entries, and additional classes, suggesting these responsibilities should be contained within the standard five-day school week. She concluded by emphasizing that both teachers and children require adequate rest, echoing the sentiments of many parents who also desire weekend breaks. The video has garnered significant attention, highlighting a broader conversation about work-life balance within the Belarusian education sector, particularly in the Brest Region.
