Current Issues in the Implementation of the 12-Year Education System in the Kyrgyz Republic

As part of the professional teaching practice of fourth-year students of the Department of Russian Philology at B. Osmonov Jalal-Abad State University, workplace-based training was organized at Secondary School No. 9 named after R. Sanatbaev in the city of Manas, Jalal-Abad Region. The training focused on the topic “Current Issues in the Implementation of the 12-Year Education System in the Kyrgyz Republic.”

          The session was conducted by A.A. Kalmurzaeva, Associate Professor of the Department of Russian Philology, with the participation of the school's teachers.

During the event, the participants examined current issues related to the modernization of the school education system in the Kyrgyz Republic, the main goals and objectives of the transition to the 12-year education model, and the specific features of organizing the educational process under the ongoing reforms.

          Particular attention was paid to updating the content of school education, improving curricula, introducing modern educational technologies, and enhancing the quality of education. The participants discussed the importance of the competency-based approach, the development of students' functional literacy, critical thinking, creative abilities, and independent learning skills.

An important part of the discussion focused on the professional training of future teachers, since the transition to a new educational model places higher demands on teachers' methodological, subject-specific, and digital competencies. The student interns had an opportunity to reflect on the role of modern teachers in implementing educational reforms, as well as the importance of continuous professional development and readiness to apply innovative teaching methods.

          The training also addressed issues concerning the adaptation of teachers and students to new conditions of the educational process, continuity between different levels of education, and cooperation among schools, families, and society.

          The event contributed to broadening the professional horizons of the student interns, deepening their understanding of current trends in the development of the national education system, and developing their readiness for future teaching activities in the context of educational reforms.

          Such activities play an important role in the practical training of future teachers, as they enable students not only to become familiar with the theoretical aspects of educational policy but also to understand their practical implementation in modern schools.
