Student monument

In 2010, in honor of the International Day of Students, a monument to a student, a schoolboy was erected. After all, Polotsk became the first Belarusian city where a higher educational institution was opened.

The Polish king Stefan Bathory contributed to the appearance of the Jesuit College in Polotsk. In memory of this educational institution, a monument was erected.

The monument is almost two meters high, made of bronze. The monument weighs 400 kilograms. The author of the monument was the sculptor Alexander Prokhorov. The sculpture stands next to the Faculty of Information Technology of Polotsk State University. A medieval student holds books, a pen and a scroll that depicts the coat of arms of the university. The monument was opened to a modern student. At the same time, a sculpture was installed in Minsk for a modern student boy.
