Belarusian Students’ Association Report: The State of Belarusian Academia in 2024

The newest 2024 Report on the State of Belarusian Academia by the Belarusian Students’ Association provides an overview of the state of Belarusian academia in 2024. It highlights politically motivated repression towards students and faculty members, the increasing ideologization and militarization of education, mandatory job placement policies, and the challenges faced by Belarusian students abroad.

Additionally, it offers key recommendations for universities, student unions, policymakers and other actors. We urge our partners and international actors to support Belarusian community of students and scholars by advocating for concrete measures to assist them in Belarus and abroad.

It is important to note that the BSA has been designated as an extremist entity in Belarus. Any interaction with this document may carry the risk of political persecution within Belarus.
