of Education

In recent years, there has been a significant outflow of people from rural areas. Why are people leaving villages? The primary reason is the lack of comfortable living conditions. Sixty percent of those relocating are young people. For example, in the Aktobe region alone, 17,000 people moved out of rural areas in 2020–2021. However, even when people leave, the problems of rural areas do not disappear—on the contrary, the situation worsens. Over time, schools shut down, infrastructure deteriorates, and eventually, villages cease to exist. Each year, 75 rural schools are closed across the country.


Education is the foundation upon which the future of society is built. Modern trends in this field emphasize digitalization and humanization to create a learning environment that meets the needs of every student. Digital technologies open the door to new opportunities, making education more accessible and diverse while transforming children from passive recipients of knowledge into active participants in the learning process.

For me, education is more than just a professional field—it is a deeply personal story. My grandfather was one of the first teachers in the Katon-Karagai district of East Kazakhstan, and my parents also dedicated their lives to teaching. Although fate led me down a different path, my commitment to contributing to the development of education remains deeply ingrained in my DNA.
