Educational work
The educational process at the Department of Design, Service and Tourism is based on the main documents of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan regulating the activities of higher educational institutions in the education and upbringing of youth, and also focuses on the priorities specified by the President of Kazakhstan in the “Address of the President to the People of Kazakhstan” and in “ Development Strategies of Kazakhstan-2050".
Educational work at the Department of Design, Service and Tourism is a key component in the formation of full-fledged specialists. Coordination between the leadership of the department and group supervisors provides a systematic approach to the education of students: the formation of a sense of patriotism, the development of business and professional skills.
Coordination of educational work with the comprehensive plan of the Turan-Astana University guarantees compliance of these activities with the overall strategic goals of the educational institution.
Regular meetings of the department to discuss issues of educational work contribute to the analysis and improvement of methods and approaches to the education of students. This is important in order to take into account the changing needs and challenges facing young people and educational institutions.
Much attention is paid to informing students about the most important events in the country and abroad, explaining the provisions of the state’s domestic and foreign policies, and the features of the socio-economic development of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Issues regarding tuition, attendance and academic performance are addressed.
