5 january, 2024

Since the country gained sovereignty, a lot of work has been done and the necessary conditions have been created to improve the quality of Education. Nevertheless, the quality of education is still low. It is also shown by the results of an international study. How to improve the quality of Secondary Education in the country? On this issue, the head of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences, Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor Askarbek Kusainov published in the newspaper “Egemen Kazakhstan” under the heading “12 – year school is a requirement of time”.
In this article "the system of Secondary Education is a very complex system. It will also have system components. We identified 8 of them: the quality of students ' education; the quality of educational standards and curricula; the quality of educational literature; the quality of professional qualifications of teaching staff; the quality of Education monitoring; the quality of spiritual, moral and patriotic education; the quality of research work; the quality of the management system; the quality of the material and technical base. It is necessary to do a lot to improve the quality of each system component. Academician A. N. Kolmogorov said that" the difficulty of writing one good textbook is the same as building one jet aircraft." Systematic work is also needed to improve the quality of system components. Therefore, the difficulty of improving the quality of education of 3.5 million children studying in 7.5 thousand schools of the country can be compared with the creation of 8 different jet aircraft. In all countries of the world, work is being carried out to improve the quality of these system components. The quality is high only in countries where these works are systematically carried out on a scientific basis." And in the article " What to do to improve the quality of system components?"The importance of improving the quality of professional qualifications of teachers"," improving the quality of Education Monitoring"," now one of the most pressing problems in society is improving the quality of education in rural schools", these issues were touched upon. At the end of the interview-article "in order to improve the quality of Secondary Education, it is necessary to work in several directions in the future. First, in order to switch to a 12-year school, it is necessary to implement a large-scale education reform for about 15 years. The main goal is to move from the paradigm "knowledge – skills – skills" to the paradigm of result – oriented education, which forms the competence of students. First, on the basis of this paradigm, it is necessary to carefully study the experience of countries that have been working productively for many years, and to develop the content of domestic education, taking into account our own national identity. Given the lack of experience of domestic scientists and teachers in creating new educational content, it is necessary to carefully study the education systems of at least three countries."I don't know," he said.
