On October 4, at his meeting with Chairman of the Minsk City Executive Committee Mikhail Pavlov, President of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko gave directions as to the elaboration of the project on building a “student village” in the Belarusian capital.

As of today, nearly 97 thousand students study at Minsk higher educational institutions - about 28 thousand of them cannot be accommodated in hostels due to lack of places there. The young people have to rent private flats, to find lodging in homes of relatives, acquaintances, and friends.

Given the seriousness of the problem, the Head of State has put forward the task to thoroughly examine all the issues of building a “student village” and to report him as soon as possible on the cost of the project and its implementation period.
