Amanzholov East Kazakhstan University Alima Alipova received a certificate of copyright for the educational training course “Development of professional competencies of a teacher-assistant to support children with special educational needs in general education schools”, developed within the framework of the commercialisation project “Centre of competencies for psychological and pedagogical support and method”.

This course is in demand in inclusive education, since the beginning of the current training course there have already been two graduates, at the moment enrolment for the third stream is underway.

The number of children with special educational needs is growing in Kazakhstan from year to year. Along with the growth of children with special educational needs, the need for socialisation and adaptation of such children is growing. For this purpose, a new speciality – teacher-assistant – has been introduced in the education system.

It should be reminded that any person with pedagogical education can be a teacher-assistant.
