REPORT OF THE NEWSPAPER "SOVIET KYRGYZSTAN" ON THE WORK OF THE TEACHING STAFF OF KYRGYZ SECONDARY SCHOOL NO. 5 IN FRUNZE
Frunze, July 10, 1948
In 1939, the first graduating class of tenth graders was held at Frunze Kyrgyz Secondary School No. 5. Since then, every spring, the school has been providing "tickets to life" for dozens of young men and women. A total of 411 students have graduated during this time. Many of our graduates have received higher education and have been promoted to leadership positions. Sadybakas Umurzakov works as the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Komsomol of Kyrgyzstan; Beyshegul Umetalieva is completing her postgraduate studies at the pedagogical institute, Satina Arzygulova at the medical institute, and many alumni are studying in Tashkent, Moscow, and Leningrad.
Recently, diplomas of maturity were awarded to another 169 tenth graders at the graduation ceremony. Dzhusup Ileeva was awarded a gold medal by the Ministry of Education of the Republic. Cholok Sadykov, Cholponbay Imanaliev, Usenbay Akimbekov, and Zootbek Nasikeev received silver medals.
Most of the current graduates will continue their education at higher educational institutions. 100 young men and women are enrolling in pedagogical universities, 10 in the medical institute, and 20 in technical universities in Moscow.
The teaching staff of the school has put in a lot of effort and energy to provide graduates with solid, deep knowledge. Last autumn, we received students from the collective farms of the Frunze and Talas regions. Many of the newcomers had serious gaps in their knowledge.
In addition to regular classes, we had to work with them in the evenings, organizing additional classes and consultations.
Full-fledged lessons, practical work in well-equipped classrooms, and additional classes played their role. By the end of the year, the current program was fully covered, and gaps from previous grades were filled.
Teachers, writers from Kyrgyzstan, and instructors from the pedagogical institute delivered 43 lectures on educational topics at our school. The students listened with great interest to lectures about the cultural image of the Soviet schoolboy, the upbringing of will and character, the heroes of Krasnodon, new democratic countries, international relations, and more.
The Komsomol organization, consisting of more than 200 members, provided significant assistance to the teaching staff. The positive influence of Komsomol members on non-union youth was felt everywhere - in lessons, in the dormitory, on the street, and in the cinema. Throughout the academic year, there were no cases of disciplinary violations or breaches of the "Rules of Conduct for Students" in either the school or the dormitory.
Many young men and women participated in athletics, gymnastics, chess and checkers, volleyball, and basketball teams. The motorcycle club trained 20 motorcyclists. All physical education activities were conducted in the school gym and on the well-equipped school sports ground. According to a well-thought-out plan developed together with the teaching staff, the educators of the dormitory, which housed 30 senior students, carried out their work.
Our main task was for each student to acquire deep knowledge and grow up to be cultured, disciplined, and hardworking. While handing out diplomas of maturity to the tenth graders, the teaching staff sincerely wished their students success in further studies and future work for the benefit of the socialist Motherland.
