They already work. You forgot to tell about academicians, never mind.

The word "бесплатный" literally is "unpaid", if you passed the entering contest, worked off 2 years you don't pay. The higher education is not mandatory there.

There are very few students in Belarus who want to pass their career assignment after the university. The majority is against but they have to.

It's quite possible to find a job after the university if you're not a looser. It's better to gain experience and earn money than to work like a slave almost for nothing, isn't it?
Career assignment in Belarus is a forced labour. It's not the same as in the USA.

You are the only person here who supports lukashenko's ideology concerning education. Don't forget that the topic is presidential elections in Belarus and not education (neither in Belarus nor in the USA).

There are a lot of graduates in Russia having difficulties to find desired jobs. Situation can be: "no experience -> no job" - "no job -> no experience".

To work like a slave almost for nothing people have for example in Russian army. You was not forced to take on the state-financed higher education.

He seems just was discontented with some terminology.

I think it's better to remember the topic. Those who want to discuss education can create their own thread...
There is no point of discussing educational problems in Belarus now.

Look what's happening: massive arrests, pursuit of journalists, media war...The outcome of the elections in Belarus and that's only the beginning.

Btw, how many people who were then at the square have already been detained? I've heard of approximately 1,000, and I've also heard that the authorities are going to detain each single person who showed up near that square in the evening of 12/19/2010... That's as terrible as ridiculous and absolutely awful...

Here you can see the list of the detained people

I think a lot more than 1000 people were detained. There were actually no space for the detained people in belarusian prisons.

Most of them were released on December 29, 2010. But their lives are broken, I think. They'll have to pay a large fine and won't find a good job in the country.
