The sisters from Shakhtinsk Ayaulym and Kamilla Ospanov brought two gold medals of the Asian championship to the piggy bank of the Kazakh national team. The International Junior Championship from 18 countries was held in Amman (Jordan). More than 400 athletes from 15 to 17 years old participated in it.Ayaulym is 13 years old, she won a gold medal in the weight category up to 63 kg.,and Camila is 16, she became the first in the weight class up to 70 kg.The girls have been preparing for the championship for a long time and carefully. According to their father and coach Zhenis Ospanov, they came to the competition at the peak of their form.– The rivals were very strong, the fights were intense. Athletes from India, Uzbekistan and Ukraine were the strongest. But we knew that this would happen, we knew who Camilla and Ayaulym would fight. We can say that we were confident of victory," says Zhenis Ospanov.Both girls became interested in boxing themselves, looking at their father and famous Kazakhstani athletes. Ayaulym was most impressed by Firuza Sharipova, whose fight the girl saw on TV in 2017.– It was a fight at Expo-2017. Then Ayaulym said: "I want the same thing." And since then, at the age of 7, she has been training. Camilla, the eldest, joined boxing a little later when she was 12 years old. In general, of course, there are difficulties in coaching daughters. Usually, if the coach swears, the kids don't pay much attention to it. And then, because I'm a dad, they get offended. But we have a rule: I'm the dad at home, and the coach in class. Of course, there are advantages in this too: my daughters are always under supervision, always near," Zhenis Ospanov shared.Now the girls need rest and recovery after intense competitions. Then they will start preparing for the Asian Games in Bahrain and the World Cup.The performance at the Asian Championship was a success for the Kazakh national team as a whole. Our athletes took first place in the overall standings, winning 44 awards, including 16 gold, 15 silver and 13 bronze. Uzbekistan is on the second line with 42 awards, India closed the top three with 43.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/988271?lang=kk

How can we train specialists who will be able to work with future technologies if the education system is lagging behind? The participants of the forum "The Future of the labor market", which was held in Karaganda under the chairmanship of Akim of the region Ermaganbet Bulekpayev, were looking for answers to this and other questions. The meeting brought together representatives of government, business and education — everyone who depends on who and how will work for the region's economy in the coming years.— The economy is growing, technology is changing, and graduates are increasingly not ready for the demands of production,— said Ermaganbet Bulekpayev. — With the launch of new enterprises, it is planned to create more than 17,000 jobs this year. To ensure that they do not remain empty, we must prepare the appropriate personnel right now. Our task is to synchronize the education system with the real demands of the market.According to the Department of Employment, the region will need at least 2017 skilled workers in 2025 alone. And within the framework of 17 investment projects, more than 2,700 vacancies have been announced at new enterprises. Employment programs, ranging from youth practice to support for active retirees, are designed to solve this problem.One of the successful cases is the QazTehna plant. After the launch, the company faced an acute shortage of personnel, but after two years the problem was almost completely closed.— We realized that it's useless to wait for someone to train the right specialists for us. We need to participate ourselves," says Aidos Aitbayev, head of the corporate university. — We have signed a strategic memorandum until 2030. The main focus is on the training of transport repair and maintenance specialists, as well as welders. This year, on the basis of the Karaganda Transport and Technological College, we are launching a task force for the training of painters. The curriculum was developed together, and it has already been approved.The plant has implemented more than 160 targeted grants and cooperates with four leading colleges in the region — Karaganda Higher Polytechnic, Mining and Industrial, Transport and Technological and Saran Technical.Employers are increasingly directly involved in the creation of educational programs — through industrial councils, they form modules and competencies based on the demands of production. In response, colleges prepare licenses for new, sought-after specialties.Promising areas include automotive engineering, additive technologies, hydraulic engineering, information security, polymer and pipe production, graphic and multimedia design."The Automation and Production Technology program is being launched on the basis of our college," says Zhanar Rakhimova, Director of Karaganda Higher Polytechnic College. — It covers modern processes: Graduates will be able not only to maintain equipment, but also to program production lines. These are specialists of a new generation — technicians with IT competencies.Of the 52 colleges in the region, 38 have already switched to a dual education system, in which students practice directly at enterprises.A Career Development Center has been established, new programs are being implemented and an international exchange of experience has been established with China, Germany, Turkey, Finland and other countries. This expands the horizons of employment for graduates.A separate topic of the forum is career guidance. Choosing a profession early increases the chances that a graduate will work in their specialty rather than waste years in college. On September 1, a new career guidance system based on the Edumark electronic diary will be launched in the region. The Profiway platform will collect data on students' academic performance, interests, and activities to form personalized recommendations.— The system will create an individual portrait of the child and tell you in which direction it is worth developing, — explained Aidana Akynova, head of the Profiway project at the Center for Innovative Technologies "Orleu".At the end of the forum, Ermaganbet Bulekpayev stressed that it is necessary to return to the initiatives discussed in order to summarize the interim results and see the results.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/987748?lang=kk

That's how I found Boccia. At the same time, I learned that in one of the inclusive schools in Astana, the physical education teacher, on his own initiative, conducted an optional course on boccia. So gradually, communicating, finding each other, we created the Kazakhstan Boccia Federation first, and then, two years ago, the regional one," said Gaukhar Akizhanova, Deputy President of the Boccia Federation for the Karaganda region.Anastasia Kuturman became one of the first athletes in Karaganda who became interested in boccia. Later, Aruzhan Zhenis joined, who also defended the honor of the Karaganda region in Bahrain.– At first, we announced fees and used the collected funds to purchase equipment for the game. In boccia, you need special balls that are expensive. Ramps are also required to bring the ball onto the playing field. For example, Aruzhan only plays with her fingertips, and she needed an expensive ramp provided by the Kazakh Federation," says Gaukhar Akizhanova.Currently, boccia is actively developing in Kazakhstan. The Boccia Cup will be held in Karaganda in May this year. And in August, the first international challenge will be held in Astana.Boccia is a Paralympic sport that can be practiced by people with cerebral palsy and other serious lesions of the central nervous system. This is a precision ball game similar to bowling. You can play boccia with your hands, fingers, and even with your mouth.To do this, some athletes need a special ramp that allows them to bring the ball onto the playing field.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/983330?lang=kk
