The issue of teacher shortages has been completely resolved in NKR

At a meeting of the akimat under the leadership of Kumar Aksakalov, the issue of the upcoming Unified National Testing was discussed and the results of distance learning were summed up.

The transition to online education has become a real challenge for teachers, parents and students. Not everyone was ready to study at home. For children from low-income families, local authorities bought 580 computers so that not a single child would be left without attention.

The region has resolved the issue of staff shortages. Three years ago, the region lacked 737 teachers. Now, there are almost no vacancies left.

Learning conditions are gradually improving. Last year, 142 educational facilities were repaired. During the repair, much attention is paid to heating systems. The temperature in the classroom should be comfortable. The work has already yielded good results. The number of omissions due to illness decreased by 41%. This year, another 5 billion tenge has been allocated for the repair of schools.

In 2017, only 1,390 applicants entered Kazakhstani universities, and 1854 students continued their education in at Motherland last year. The outflow of young people decreased accordingly. The number of students admitted in NKU named after M. Kozybayev increased by 30%.

The head of the region pointed out particular importance to the issue of preparation for the UNT.

«During UNT, you need to worry about the condition of the children. The stressful situation, metal detectors and inspections will make graduates worry, and this in turn will adversely affect the results. Security and honesty in exams must be approached with delicacy», — Kumar Aksakalov said.
