Development of an elective life safety course for children

The prevention of emergency situations includes such important preventive measures as the promotion of knowledge and the training of the population in measures of life safety.

The culture of safety is formed throughout a person's life, the family, educational institutions, and state authorities of all levels actively participate in this.

Taking into account that children are one of the least protected groups of the population, due to the lack of sufficient knowledge and skills in emergency situations, on September 15 of this year, the first meeting of the working group on the development of an in-depth elective course on ensuring student life safety was held on the basis of the the AEO «Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools».

The Ministry of Education and Science and the Ministry of Integration and Social Development jointly hold meeting with other public organizations: the head of the Department for planning civil defense events and training of the population of the Committee on Civil Defense and Military Units Lieutenant Colonel Arifdzhanov S.B. and a senior officer of the same department Colonel Aiteyev A.S.

The meeting was opened by Olga Mozhaeva, Deputy Chairman of the Board of AEO «Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools». On the meeting were substantiated the relevance of the course and the prospects for further use in the educational process.

The participants of the meeting, along with the topics of the elective course, also considered the issues of project implementation and possible risks, the need to make changes and additions to some regulatory acts in the field of education and other issues.

The participants of the meeting unanimously supported the initiative of the AEO «Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools», and also proposed to consider the implementation of pilot projects for the use of elective courses in general education schools in the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The next meeting of the working group is scheduled for November this year.
