Education

Education is a significant part of the life. There are many kinds of

education: it can be self-education, school education, higher education
and so on. Anyway, every kind of education gives us much experience
and much knowledge which are connected not only with particular
science or scientific field but also with our understanding of the world
and of the people’s relationships.
The system of education varies from country to country. What is
the system of education in Kazakhstan?
First of all, it is divided into several groups: general education, further
education and supplementary education. General education aimed to
develop the personal qualities, basic knowledge and skills is divided into
four groups: preschool education, elementary education, basic general
education and secondary general education. Children who are from the
age of two months to the age of seven years can go to preschool
institutes. Then children who are from the age of six years and a half to
the age of eight years begin to go to elementary school. It is a
compulsory step of general education and it lasts four years. The
following stage of education – basic general education – lasts five
years. After that pupils can have secondary general education which
lasts two years or go to institutions of tertiary education. Further
education includes tertiary education, bachelor’s degree, specialist
degree, master’s degree and postgraduate degree. Also it is possible
both for children and adults to have the supplementary education.
In conclusion, I want to say that we cannot imagine a world
without education, without schools, colleges and universities. Because if
there is no school, there is no knowledge and skills. If there is no
university, then there are no doctors, engineers and scientists.
Therefore, this does not mean any development or invention. Therefore,
one must always remember that it is vital to study and receive an
education.
