Introduction
Educational work at the educational institution “Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics” branch “Minsk Radio Engineering College” is carried out by highly qualified teachers and curators of educational groups with extensive teaching experience and experience working with students.
The leading role in the educational process of college students is given to the curators of study groups. To organize the work of the curator of the study group at the college, a set of local normative and methodological documents has been developed: Regulations on the curator of the study group, a plan of ideological and educational work for the academic year, methodological recommendations (memos to the curator), a journal of the curator of the study group, a plan for conducting supervisory hours. The curator of the educational group at the college is appointed by order of the director from among the full-time teachers for the entire period of study.
Methodological associations of educational group curators are held by the Deputy Director for Educational Work once a month. The activities of the methodological association are aimed at providing methodological assistance to curators in the following areas: the formation of an active group of study groups, the development and coordination of various forms of self-government of students, as well as the organization of assistance to self-knowledge, self-education and creative self-development of students on the basis of psychological and pedagogical diagnostics, which the curators of study groups conduct together with an educational psychologist, a social educator in order to provide support and psychological assistance.
The curator of the educational group is responsible for the implementation of the plan of ideological and educational work, conducting supervisory and information hours, monitoring the attendance of training sessions, the progress of students and their compliance with the internal regulations and charter of the college, as well as for the prevention of offenses, destructive behavior, compliance with safety measures among students and the timely, high-quality provision of planning and reporting documentation.
Curators of study groups annually draw up plans, analyzes and reports on ideological and educational work. They reflect all priority areas of educational work in accordance with the Concept of the continuous education of children and students and the Program for the continuous education of children and students for 2026-2030. The journal of the curator of the study group is the main reporting document, reflecting diagnostic, methodological, organizational and educational work in all priority areas of activity with students in the study group. There is a practice of holding organizational, thematic and final parent meetings, at which parents (legal representatives) of students receive comprehensive information about the progress and educational activities of their children, as well as parent lectures and universities.
In order to exchange teaching experience, open curatorial hours are held, the maintenance of planning and reporting documentation is analyzed, and a pedagogical excellence competition “The Best Curator of a Study Group” is held annually. The purpose of the competition: to improve and intensify the educational work of teachers-curators of college study groups, exchange best practices and introduce into practice innovative approaches to the education of students.
Planning ideological and educational work
The main mechanism for organizing ideological and educational work in the educational institution “Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics” branch “Minsk Radio Engineering College” is its planning, which is carried out in accordance with the basic provisions of the ideology of the Belarusian state, the principles of state policy in the field of education, the Code of the Republic of Belarus on Education, the Concept of the continuous education of children and students in the Republic of Belarus, the Laws of the Republic of Belarus “On the Rights of the Child”, “On State Support youth and children's public associations in the Republic of Belarus." The college pays great attention to ideological work with teaching staff and other employees, which allows us to reach a new level of consistency and quality of work, ensuring the successful implementation of key tasks facing the educational institution. This, in turn, directly affects the effectiveness of civic-patriotic education of students.
Technologies and forms of implementation of ideological and educational work
At the Minsk Radio Engineering College, an information and propaganda group is annually created from among the management staff, teachers of social and humanitarian subjects, and curators of study groups.
Unified information days are held every third Thursday of the month on topics approved by the Minsk City Executive Committee. In addition, weekly information is provided to college study groups.

The object of the study is a sample of full-time students receiving education from various college courses. When analyzing the results, the gender aspect is taken into account, and age dynamics, professional differences and pedagogical continuity are also traced. About 70% of college students take part in monitoring.
Development of student self-government
Self-government of students is an integral part of the educational system of an educational institution.
Self-government of college students is a form of organizing the life of a group of students, which gives them the opportunity to independently plan their activities, participate in the life of the college and develop civic and leadership skills.
The result of student self-government activities directly depends on the degree of pedagogical support and support from the college administration, heads of departments, teachers and curators of study groups. The main activities of self-government bodies of college students: participation in improving the educational process; development of legal culture; formation of civic position; creating conditions for improving the financial and living situation of students living in the dormitory, social protection; organization of meaningful leisure and physical education and health work, volunteer and charitable movements; holding cultural events.

Citizenship characterizes the relationship of the individual with society and the state. It allows you to feel legally, socially, morally and politically literate, as well as a capable citizen. Citizenship is closely interconnected with patriotism, which is expressed in love for the Motherland, respect for its historical past, responsible attitude towards the present and future, as well as readiness to defend the interests of one’s Fatherland.
The content of educational work on the formation and development of citizenship and patriotism among college students is aimed at mastering universal humanistic values, cultural and spiritual traditions, the ideology of the Belarusian state, developing the ability to combine their personal interests with the interests of the state and society as a whole, as well as developing readiness to fulfill civic duty and the need to work for the benefit of society. The civil-patriotic direction is implemented through a complex of educational and extracurricular, research and practical activities aimed at developing a legal culture, respect and love for the Motherland.
