Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (3): Boris Shapiro, Susan Welsh, DTSM

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

It's the name of a document, hence the capitalization.

Mrrafe прав Concept и "концепция" - ложные друзья переводчика. Какой-нибудь там "концепции развития" соответствует, скорее, английское framework
mrrafe Jan 23:
If you are asking how to use “concept,” I don’t understand the usage or context here. Normally a concept is an abstraction, an “idea.” Do you mean “conception,” i.e. “establishment” or ”creation”? Anyway, I would guess it should take definite article “the” and should be concept, not capitalized Concept

Yes, this is a particular concept, not concept in abstract.

This is not "concept" by itself here. It is a particular/definite concept, a concept OF education, so "the" is definitely required.
However, it is not clear what the Concept of the National School of Belarus really means.
Note from asker:
Thank you. The national school of Belarus was supposed to be a countrywide education system that would be based on authentic Belarusian values.

agree Alexander Mikheyshin : It looks like "концепция" here means a government policy document. A short overview of the document is needed to name it properly in English.
