Republican project is being implemented in Bestamak secondary school

The result of a three-month work within the framework of the republican project “Development of the potential of pivotal schools in rural areas” was shared in the secondary school of Bestamak village.⁣⁣⠀

Akim of the Aktobe region Yeraly Tugzhanov, Chairman of the Board of AEO Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools Kulyash Shamshidinova and Director of the Sustainable Development Fund Daniyar Toktarbaev took part in the event. The guests were presented with 27 classrooms equipped with modern equipment, a STEM laboratory, a TV studio, a sports hall, art and technology classrooms.⁣⁣⠀

– If a child studies in the city and does not receive a quality education at school for one reason or another, then he can hire a tutor, enroll in a circle or center. His talent will be revealed. Unfortunately, this is not possible in the village. The main tool is the school, so it is very important to develop it,” shared Daniyar Toktarbaev, Director of the Sustainable Development Fund.⁣⁣⠀

⁣⁣⠀

Acquaintance with the school began with the presentation of the updated library. Its format has changed. Now, when visiting the library, students can not only get a book, but also share ideas, relax, acquire new knowledge and play board games. Near the library there is a rack designed for bookcrossing.⠀⁣⁣⠀

Primary school classrooms are distinguished by the presence of domestically produced study desks, which are regulated depending on the growth of students. Little explorers of the world will be able to study natural phenomena with the help of colorful mobile boxes with devices.⁣⁣⠀

⁣⁣⠀

Particular attention was drawn to the robotics room, which was decorated with the works of students. The guys proudly presented their first creations: a dancing robot, a car that overcomes obstacles, etc.⁣⁣⠀

⁣⁣⠀

It is worth noting that only in the STEM laboratory of this school there is a modernized constructor. It gives students the opportunity to develop programs, code them and create their own project.⁣⁣⠀

⁣⁣⠀

“Despite the fact that only three months have passed since the start of the project, we see how much the school has changed. All this time we have been actively cooperating with the NIS of the city of Aktobe and the CPM. Our teachers receive comprehensive support in the areas of assessment, teaching methods and work with students. I am glad that thanks to this project, our students began to interact with the students of the Intellectual School. We hope that in the future they will be able to create joint projects, – says the principal of the school, Anara Istegulova.⁣⁣⠀

⁣⁣⠀

It should be reminded that the main goal of the project is to reduce the gap between urban and rural education, where Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools AEO plays an important role. Thus, NIS teachers, together with the Center for Pedagogical Excellence, organize trainings, seminars and master classes for rural teachers, designed to convey the best pedagogical practices and effective methods.⁣⁣⠀

⁣⁣⠀

“This is a very important social project. First of all, it is necessary to work on analytical literacy. To improve the quality of education, the teacher must examine his practice: “What results have I achieved?”, “What were the shortcomings?”, “Am I grading correctly? Why?”, “What topics are difficult?”. To do this, we train teachers and members of the administration, – said Kulyash Shamshidinova, Chairman of the Board of AEO Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools. ⁣⁣⠀

⁣⁣⠀

– 17 schools are involved in the project. We conducted an input monitoring for students in grades 4 and 8, based on which we will determine the objectivity of knowledge assessment. In April, we will conduct a final monitoring, which will show the dynamics of training. We will send the received data to the Ministry.⁣⁣⠀

⁣⁣⠀

– Today, in the age of information technology, the issue of education is acute. The school plays an important role in this, but only through the joint efforts of teachers, parents and government agencies can we achieve success, – Kulyash Shamshidinova notes about the features of modern education.
