Lukashenko's Orders Are Getting Crazier And Crazier

Manual control in all areas.

Education Minister Andrei Ivanets told the state press how the country’s leader’s wish to “feed the children properly” in schools is being implemented:

“Children have a demanding academic schedule and a heavy workload at school, and they should be able to eat a meal—a normal, relaxed one, just like at home. But the president once again emphasized that schools should not be turned into restaurants. This is absolutely fair, because first and foremost, a child comes to school for knowledge,” he said.

It seems the official did not fully understand Lukashenko’s point, as the president suggested serving simpler meals in schools: “We have plenty of potatoes, plenty of meat, and plenty of milk. So let’s stick to sausages, cold cuts, and so on.”

But that doesn’t matter. It’s far more important for Minister Ivants to give the impression of being very active, even though the results of those efforts, to put it mildly, are embarrassing, writes “Solidarnast’”.

For example, an official made an important discovery for himself: “We fully understand that children in elementary school and in the second or third stages of general secondary education have different physiological needs. Therefore, dividing them into three age groups by class should fully meet those needs.”

And a year ago, in case anyone has forgotten, Ivanets addressed the issue of poor-quality school meals after meeting with the chief specialist on school nutrition by proposing to require school principals to personally taste every portion prepared for students.

A year has passed: a new whim—new solutions.

Lukashenko criticized the situation with residential areas being overrun by cars—and as if on cue, city authorities set about clearing junk cars from the capital’s streets within strictly defined deadlines.

Yet this problem has existed for years. But experience shows that without wise counsel and a verbal kick, no one will lift a finger. The problem is that there is simply no one to point out this key flaw in the manual management system surrounding the aging leader.

So ministers and regional leaders are forced to bend over backward, tracking down negligent farmers, whom they then have to visit in person at their operations to verify the success of their “re-education.”
