The potential of the Ayagoz pivotal school has increased

A holiday of knowledge was held in the city of Ayagoz of the Abay region. There was a presentation of the updated material and technical base of the KSU “City Diversified Kazakh School-Gymnasium”, which is now equipped in accordance with modern requirements. This became possible thanks to the implementation of the project “Development of the potential of pivotal schools in rural areas”.


– Our school opened in 1981 and now 1130 children are studying here. The renewal of the material base happened thanks to the sponsorship of entrepreneurs and the support of the Kazakhstan Halkyna Foundation. As a result, significant funds were allocated, classrooms in various disciplines and areas, a STEM laboratory, an Art Studio and workshops were equipped. Even a television studio has been installed, – said the director of the multidisciplinary Kazakh school-gymnasium in the city of Ayagoz, Ainur Kanapiyanova.


Within the framework of the project “Developing the potential of pivotal schools in rural areas”, entrepreneurs provided financial support, specialists from the Sustainable Education Development Fund and Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools analyzed the educational environment and the quality of education at the school and created conditions for the professional growth of teachers. In November of this year, teachers of the gymnasium visited the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Semey, where they improved their skills at a methodological seminar.

– This year, 17 educational institutions have been chosen as pivotal schools throughout the country. In this regard, teachers from the Ayagoz school visited our school, who took part in a course conducted by specialists from the Center for Educational Programs of the central office on the topic “Formation of the functional literacy of students.” In addition, from November 28 to December 2, we held online classes on 10 topics. In the future, our relationship will be further strengthened. This flagship school in Ayagoz will disseminate the methodological approach that they received from us throughout the district, – says Narken Burkenov, Deputy Director for Scientific and Methodological Work of the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Semey.
