In Kazakhstan, the traditional Knowledge Day ceremonies, a significant event marking the beginning of the school year, are usually held on September 1. However, for the 2022-2023 school year, a change is on the horizon.
Constitution Day in Kazakhstan has been moved from August 30 to September 1, making it a Saturday. As a result, the government has decided to move the official start of the academic year to September 2. This change means that the traditional Knowledge Day ceremonies will not fall on the first day of the school year this year.
The Ministry of Education and Science has given schools the discretion to decide whether to hold their Knowledge Day ceremonies on September 1 or align them with the official start of the academic year on September 2. Schools can choose to maintain the traditional date for their ceremonies, or they can move them to September 2 to align with the start of classes.
For first-graders, the Knowledge Day ceremony is a particularly emotional and symbolic event, marking the beginning of their school life. Parents of first-graders may find this change significant. Schools have the freedom to hold the ceremony for first-graders on September 1 if they choose to do so.
Deputy Prime Minister Ermek Kosherbaev has explained that the official start date of the academic year being a working day is to ensure that students and teachers have a full week to adjust to the new academic year.
It's worth noting that no new information about educational grants or subscriptions to any Telegram channels are related to the start of the academic year or the Knowledge Day ceremonies.
The Ministry of Education and Science recommends that schools decide independently whether to hold the ceremonial part on September 1 or move all events to September 2, allowing schools to make decisions based on their specific circumstances and traditions.
This change in the start date of the academic year and the Knowledge Day ceremonies is a testament to the adaptability of Kazakhstan's education system, ensuring that the needs of students and teachers are met while maintaining the rich traditions that make up the country's educational landscape.
