The European Students’ Union (ESU) stands in solidarity with the Belarusian students, in strongly condemning the violations of academic freedom, and urges the universities to stop all forms of repressions on students.
Belarus had to assume obligations to complete the Road Map of reforms in its higher education system at the Yerevan conference of 47 ministers for education of the European Higher Education Area. Pursuant to the Road Map the Belarusian authorities were to prepare and implement legislative measures and educational-policy measures aimed at upholding the academic staff and students rights. However, an aggravating offensive against academic freedoms and rights of the academia seems to make a sharp dissonance with such promises.
The Yerevan Ministerial Communiqué, Belarus Roadmap For Higher Education Reform and Fourth Bologna Policy Forum Statement were adopted at the ninth EHEA Ministerial Conference held on 14-15 May 2015 in Yerevan, Armenia.
The adopted documents can be found below:
