The territorial departments of the Education Quality Assurance Committee of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan are called upon to perform a very important function of control, monitoring and providing feedback between local and central executive bodies in the implementation of educational policy.

What is the quality of education?

How is this concept decomposed?

How is the national education quality assessment system institutionalized in Kazakhstan?

How do external global factors influence the actualization of the content of modern education?

How should the quality assessment system be transformed taking into account changes in the content of education?

How is the Kazakh education system positioned in international comparative studies?

I gave a lecture on this and many other things at a seminar for directors of territorial quality assurance departments.

I was glad to meet my colleagues.

No one will doubt the folk wisdom: How many languages  you know, so many times you are a human! Knowledge of a foreign language is the key to success in life. Today, knowledge of several languages is becoming a mandatory requirement not only of foreign, but also of Kazakhstani employers! Fluency in a foreign language, along with good professional skills, will allow a specialist to get a decent job and build a successful career. Therefore, it is gratifying that our students strive to master several languages and show their abilities in various competitions and olympiads.

 One of such purposeful, talented students of the AMU is Alina Erlibekkyzy Abdymukasheva, a 1st year student of the FL PS. It is all the more gratifying that she is a future primary school English teacher! In April 2023, Alina took part in the International online English language Olympiad "English skills: check your knowledge" , which took place in Moscow, and having demonstrated excellent knowledge of the English language, took the Honorable second place! We congratulate Alina Abdymukasheva and her English teacher Khassenova Roza Tukenovna on the victory and wish them further success in their work and studies!
