One of the key innovations will be the launch of online preparation for Olympiads at both the republican and international levels. This includes in-depth classes in core subjects, individual consultations, training sessions, and problem-solving workshops. The Ministry emphasizes that this approach will help level the playing field for talented children from remote regions, where access to experienced Olympiad coaches is limited, as they are often concentrated in large cities.
The second new direction includes online courses in Kyrgyz, Russian, and foreign languages, with the possibility of grouping students by their level of preparation.
Moreover, students from educational institutions that lack teachers for certain subjects will be able to study at 'Tunguch' without transferring to another school. Grades for these subjects will be automatically transferred to the 'Kündölük' system.
The online school will also be granted the right to independently determine the model of education without the need for constant changes to the regulations. The format of classes will be clarified: synchronous lessons will last 45 minutes, while asynchronous lessons will remain flexible, allowing students to study the material at their own pace.
Implementing the proposed changes will require about 6.5 million soms from the republican budget.
