“129 teachers are currently working at the school. As part of the project, 81 teachers were trained at Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools and 55 did the internship. There is hope that we will take advantage of this opportunity and raise an educated generation,” Adilkhan Aripbekov, Director of Boarding School No. 4, expressed his opinion.
“Today there is a gap between rural and urban schools, the decline in the quality of education is especially reflected in rural areas. For a systematic and comprehensive solution of this issue, the Kazakhstan Khalkyna Fund, together with partners, has decided to develop rural hub schools that will become competence centers and will contribute to improving the quality of teaching in other schools. Within the framework of the program “Development of the Hub School Potential in Rural Areas”, we equip and provide methodological support to 17 rural hub schools so that in the future the acquired knowledge and skills can be transferred to other underfilled schools where there are problems with the material and technical base and personnel. Today, 10 schools are equipped in the regions,” Lazzat Chinkisbayeva, the Deputy CEO of Kazakhstan Khalkyna Public Fund, said.
“Our classes have become much more interesting. Children really enjoy laboratories, drawing lessons, chess. We want to be at school more and more, getting ready for lessons, Olympiads,” Aiaru Nurlan and Alua Yessengel, pupils of 5B grade note.
“Our Fund is engaged in the development of hub schools. To date, the project covers 17 regions of Kazakhstan, in which about 13 thousand children study and about 2 thousand teachers work. I also want to note that the training program is conducted by the project partner, NIS AEO on a free basis, all operational and administrative costs are borne by the project operator – ESDF at the expense of sponsorship funds of AITAS Holding,” Daniyar Toktarbayev, Director of the Education Sustainable Development Fund says.
