"Preparing Children for School in Uralsk'sBalakailar School": A Guide on School Readiness in the Ural Region
School No. 52 in the city of Oral, Kazakhstan, is ready for the new academic year, and it's not just about the classrooms and books. The school is introducing a new educational initiative called "Balaqalar Mektebi," which aims to support first-grade students as they take their first steps in formal schooling.
A Nurturing Learning Environment
The "Balaqalar Mektebi" project is part of the larger "Future Schools" project and focuses on creating a supportive, engaging, and child-friendly learning environment. This approach emphasises holistic development, integrating interactive teaching methods to foster critical thinking, creativity, and foundational academic skills in students.
Building Confidence
By using participatory activities, games, and personalised attention, the "Balaqalar Mektebi" project helps first graders build self-confidence. Children become more comfortable expressing themselves and participating actively in class, which is crucial for their overall development.
Early Adaptation
The project also assists students in adjusting smoothly from home or kindergarten settings to a school environment, reducing anxiety and enhancing their motivation to learn. This early adaptation is key to setting a strong foundation for their academic and social growth.
Community Support
The "Balaqalar Mektebi" initiative often involves collaboration between teachers, parents, and the community, ensuring a supportive network around the child. This collaboration is essential for the success of the project and for the children's overall development.
Positive Impact
Parents have noted that the "Balaqalar Mektebi" initiative has increased children's interest in school and boosted their confidence in successful learning. The project's focus on holistic development and supportive learning environment has made a significant impact on the children's academic and social growth.

The West Kazakhstan Akimat has also referenced the event, highlighting the importance of such initiatives in the development of the region's education system. The "Balaqalar Mektebi" project is designed to help children adapt to their first steps in school, setting them up for a successful academic journey.
