Daniyar Toktarbaev
Head of Education Program
In today’s world, quality education plays a key role. An educated nation is our future. The education system in Kazakhstan has developed in difficult economic conditions and there are still many problems in this area today. These are the challenges of the times.

We can now see a gap in the quality of education in the city and in the countryside. This is evidenced by the data of the latest report of the study of functional literacy of students (PISA 2018). The most important thing, however, is that we can fix this situation together and try to solve at least some of the issues.

Contact us and together we will make Kazakhstan educated and competitive in all global markets.
PISA — тест, оценивающий функциональную грамотность школьников в разных странах мира и умение применять знания на практике.

Проходит раз в 3 года. В тесте участвуют подростки в возрасте 15 лет.
