Kazakhstan's Teachers Enjoy Improved Conditions and Job Satisfaction
Kazakhstani teachers are experiencing enhanced working conditions and job satisfaction, with the average weekly workload decreasing to 36 hours. President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's initiatives have driven these positive changes, as shown by the TALIS-2024 study.
Minister of Education Gani Beisembayev has played a pivotal role in these developments. Teachers now spend less time on administrative tasks, allowing for more focus on teaching and interacting with parents. This shift has led to a significant boost in job satisfaction, with 95% of teachers expressing contentment and 80% eager to choose teaching again.
The TALIS-2024 study reveals that Kazakhstan's education system has seen positive transformations. Notably, the average age of Kazakhstani teachers is 41 years, four years younger than the OECD median.
The reduction in workload and improved working conditions have contributed to a more satisfied and motivated teaching workforce in Kazakhstan. With 95% of teachers content and 80% willing to re-enter the profession, the future of Kazakhstani education looks promising.
