Рrospects of the children’s university оf Sh. Ualikhanov Kokshetau University

Abstract

The article deals with the actual problems of contradictions in the professional
orientation of schoolchildren associated with changes in higher education and changes in the labor
market. Both schools and higher education institutions interested in mobilizing a contingent
of applicants take an active part in the professional orientation of schoolchildren. At the same
time, professional orientation should be understood from the point of view of socialization of the
individual and only then from the point of view of ensuring the admission of applicants.
Early education at a Children’s University has a great responsibility for the development of
children. The introduction of children to reading and writing culture is a necessary condition for
the formation of a new generation of citizens who have to meet the challenges of modernity at a
high intellectual level, to ensure the sustainable development of the country in the conditions of
increasing global competition in the economy, politics, education, science, art, and other spheres
In Kazakhstan, Children’s universities are organized and implemented at Taraz University,
Sh. Ualikhanov Kokshetau University, Caspian University. Each of the Children’s Universities
discussed above works alone with a strong regional orientation and is unique in its local
context.
Together with partner enterprises, the topics of the educational program modules of the children’s
university, including project cases, have been developed. A project of a digital platform for
networking in the KAZCUNET (IRN AR09258554) ecosystem has been created.
The KAZCUNET (IRN AR09258554) digital platform will allow the implementation of
innovative mechanisms of network interaction of ecosystem participants in the implementation
of educational programs, projects, and scientific events in order to form the scientific capital of
children.
