Not so long ago, more than a thousand teachers signed a petition as aggrieved party from the Ministry of Education and science of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Mass statements began to arrive, the deputies due to the fact that the Ministry does not take into account the opinion of the teachers, parents and experts of the school and acting contrary to the observance of the academic calendar.
'Testing teachers who wish to improve their skills is somehow at a time when the students pass the exams. The actual test takes place in regional centers where the exam thousands of teachers who must seek shelter and food at their own expense. Why not organize a testing accommodation? How the teacher will be on exams and on the delivery of internal testing?'
Also under the new rules teachers must complete the qualification not the subject of practice, and the specialty specified in the diploma. But as a teacher, all my professional activities gave, for example, English language tests and even in German if it has a speciality 'Teacher of English and German languages', are the teachers. In addition, the volume and content of these tests is not limited. Teachers believe that 'it is impossible to embrace the unembraceable'.
'I resent the fact that now the teacher's job will be evaluated in the first place only for his academic knowledge and not on the impact and achievements the quality of teaching and learning. Any reforms in education will not give a positive result if the teacher, the teacher, will be caught in a bureaucratic vise of bureaucratic, administrative instructions, guidelines, rules and orders', – read the MP's letter Kazakhstani teachers.
Parliamentary inquiry Irina Smirnova addressed to the Prime Minister, as the 'teachers complain about the MES and the document developed by them'.
March 13, 2018, Vice Minister of education and science of Kazakhstan Bibigul asylova reported that teachers have an appropriate level of qualification will receive additional funds under the new system – the grid surcharges. Qualified teachers will defend the passage to implement a Unified national qualification test.
Upon successful completion of this test the teacher's salary will be increased in the amount of from 20 to 50%.
On January 1, 2017, the average salary of a teacher amounted to 99 thousand tenge.
