The ministry's press service reported that representatives from various organizations participated in the event, including the Ministry of Education, the Department of Education of Bishkek, the Kyrgyz Academy of Education, the Republican Institute for Advanced Training and Retraining of Educational Workers, as well as methodologists from district education departments and educators from short-term kindergartens.
During the meeting, a distance learning project was presented, which takes into account the latest changes in legislation and regulatory acts governing the field of preschool education. Participants were also shown a draft version of the online module "Balalyk," designed for 10 days of training on the RIPPPR platform.
The main goal of the discussion was to gather opinions from key stakeholders. Participants noted that training is necessary not only for educators of short-term kindergartens but also for other forms of preschool education.
A feature of the new program will be the introduction of methodological recommendations aimed at developing key competencies of educators in short-term community kindergartens. These recommendations will be based on materials from the "Strengthening Foundations of Learning" project, including differentiated instruction, fundamentals of STEM education, and the "Balalyk" program.
Educators, methodologists, and researchers from the Kyrgyz Academy of Education provided specific recommendations and proposals during the round table.
After the course development is completed, it will be discussed with experts and then handed over to the Republican Institute for Advanced Training and Retraining of Educational Workers for further training of educators in a distance format on the institute's platform.
