The holiday was cancelled here. Now October 6th is Remembrance Day. At Beslan's school no. 1, there were 62 teachers and other school workers among the hostages. Twenty-two perished.
Because of the tragedy, Beslan schools cancelled Teacher's Day. Instead, at 11 AM on October 6th, the Beslan cultural center observed a 'Day of Remembrance' for the teachers who died in the storming of school number one. A small delegation came, headed by Northern Ossetia's education minister, Alina Levitskaya, and the new chairman of the government. Relatives of the deceased teachers came. The president of Ossetia did not come, but sent 'feasible pecuniary aid' for their funerals.
On Remembrance Day, the relatives were told that the president of the republic had introduced a bill to decorate all the deceased teachers with an official award, but precisely what type was not specified.
Education Minister Alina Levitskaya read the order for each teacher. She read and cried.
