Schooling as the Central Form of Education

The last speaker was Daniyar Toktarbayev, director of the Foundation for Sustainable Development of Education, stated that there is a need for immediate educational change. “In the modern world where the rate of change is higher than any expectations, it is not enough just to update the system of education, but it is necessary to reconsider its functions and goals,” he said. Challenges of globalisation should be addressed to educate the new generation, to prepare the society for the change, and open up opportunities for it to properly implement a change for the better, as the Kazakhstani academic pointed out.

A Whole Huddle of Specialist

The educational practices’ conference is considered as key platform to present and discuss ideas and approaches that may reshape the educational practice landscape for the better and develop ideas which could potentially foster new generation leaders capable of shaping the future of global society.
