Belarusian-speaking instructor from Svietlahorsk district lost his job

The Education Department of Svietlahorsk District Executive Committee refused to renew the employment contract with the chemistry and biology teacher of Prudki secondary school Hienadz Biada, reports Radio Liberty.

Mr. Biada is a member of the Conservative Christian Party BPF. He taught his subjects only in Belarusian.

The school authorities claim that the contract with the teacher was not renewed because of lack of teacher training education.

Hienadz Biada graduated from Horki Agricultural Academy, and is qualified as an agronomist. He spent more than five years in school as a teacher.
