On September 20, the third stage of accepting documents for participation in a special program to attract the best teachers to regions with a shortage of personnel or low quality of education will start.
According to the results of the first two competitions, more than 1.5 thousand applications were received from teachers.
Recall that on behalf of the Head of State, the Ministry of Education has developed a special program to attract the best teachers to regions where there is a shortage of teachers or a relatively poor quality of education. We are talking about Turkestan, Atyrau, Mangistau and Almaty regions. These regions require teachers of mathematics, physics, chemistry, Russian language and literature, and a foreign language.
The special program includes a package of measures to support teachers, first of all, providing them with a salary in the amount of 250% of the official salary, calculated to reimburse payments for rental housing and utilities.
The first stage of accepting documents for participation in the competition started on June 16. The second competition was held from July 11 to 21. The third stage will begin on September 20 and will last until October 4, 2022.
"Teachers of Nur-Sultan, Almaty, Pavlodar, Kyzylorda, West Kazakhstan, Turkestan, Almaty, Zhambyl, Aktobe regions took part in the previous competitions. Today, some of them are already working in schools in those areas where there is a shortage of personnel or a relatively poor quality of education. Strengthening schools with qualified teachers will have the best effect on improving quality. There are families where spouses are teachers and move to another region together in order to share knowledge with children," said Gulmira Karimova, Chairman of the Secondary Education Committee of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
It should be noted that the employment contract with the teachers who passed the competition is concluded for 5 years. The children of teachers who have moved to one of the 4 regions will be provided with places in kindergartens and secondary schools.
Recall that teachers of the country can take part in the competition, regardless of their place of residence, who have higher pedagogical or higher professional and (or) postgraduate education in the relevant profiles and have passed pedagogical retraining on the basis of organizations of higher and (or) postgraduate education, with the qualification categories "teacher-expert", "teacher-researcher", "teacher-master". Graduates of universities in pedagogical specialties with an average academic achievement score (GPA) in the humanities not lower than 3.5, in the natural-mathematical direction not lower than 3.2, as well as graduates of the master's degree in pedagogical specialties with an average academic achievement score (GPA) not lower than 3.4 can also participate in the competition.
