As the teachers explained, this testing is preparatory for the main one, which will take place in December. The main results will help develop modules for retraining and professional development of teachers, as well as update the work of methodological centers that provide support to educators.
One English teacher noted: "We were reassured that the test results would not affect our salaries. The purpose of this testing is to assess the level of professional training of teachers, their subject knowledge, and digital skills. The results will help the Ministry of Education identify weak points and develop professional development courses. However, after Edil Baysalov's statements, we are feeling anxious. For example, if I have a good grasp of my subject but receive low scores in digital skills, it could negatively affect my overall evaluation and lead to me being deemed unfit."
Earlier, Kaktus.media reached out to the Ministry of Education with a request regarding the current testing, but no response has been received yet.
