\u00abTeaching is a profession of far-reaching impact,
\nThe most important one on Earth!\u00bb<\/em>
\nR.Rozhdestvensky<\/span><\/p>\n

In the USSR, Teachers’ Day<\/strong> was officially established by a Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on September 29, 1965, and was celebrated on the first Sunday of October. Following the attainment of independence, the celebration of Teachers’ Day on the first Sunday of October was officially enshrined in Belarus by Presidential Decree No.157 of March 26, 1998, \u00abOn State Holidays, Observances, and Memorable Dates in the Republic of Belarus\u00bb.<\/p>\n

A promotional video for the exhibition \u00abTeaching is a profession of far-reaching impact, the most important one on Earth!\u00bb<\/strong> has been posted on the BGAKFFD YouTube channel<\/strong><\/a> in honor of Teachers’ Day.<\/p>\n

The holdings of the Belarusian State Archive of Film, Photo, and Sound Documents<\/strong> (BGAKFFD) currently contain a vast array of audiovisual documents related to school education.<\/p>\n

Pre-war photographic records include views of \u00abgymnasium\u00bb and rural school buildings, photographs of \u00abgymnasium\u00bb students and peasant children near educational institutions, and portraits of teachers.<\/p>\n

Post-war and contemporary photographs capture all aspects of school life: the reconstruction of schools after the Great Patriotic War; classroom lessons, extracurricular activities, and competitions; teachers’ meetings; the opening of new schools; and much more.<\/p>\n

The archive’s film collection houses newsreels such as \u00abSavetskaya Belarus\u00bb (Soviet Belarus), \u00abPiyaner Belarusi\u00bb (Pioneer of Belarus), and \u00abNavuka i Tekhnika\u00bb (Science and Technology), as well as documentaries including \u00abOur School \u2013 Our Home\u00bb (1960), \u00abPeople’s Teacher of the USSR O.S.Avramenko\u00bb (1985), and \u00abHello, School!\u00bb (2010), and the television program \u00abKarani\u00bb (Roots)…\u00bb. The Music Teacher\u00bb (2011), \u00abReboot: Is \u00abTeacher\u00bb a Title to Be Proud Of?\u00bb (2015), and \u00abScience Mania: School\u00bb (2018), as well as the weekly news programs \u00abContours\u00bb and \u00abThe Week\u00bb, which feature segments dedicated to various aspects of school life.<\/p>\n

The archive\u2019s audio collection holds recordings of prominent Belarusians sharing memories of their school days and teachers, alongside radio programs such as \u00abRomantics\u00bb, \u00abMusicians Speak\u00bb, \u00abMemories of Childhood\u00bb, and \u00abTowards the Dawn\u00bb, all of which cover topics related to school life.<\/p>\n

People describe true educators as \u00abteachers by the grace of God\u00bb. These words embody appreciation for their work, respect, gratitude, and admiration.<\/strong><\/p>\n
