THE SYSTEM “SHANYRAK” AND IT’S EFFECTIVENESS IN NIS
Introduction
In 2008, a project of creating intellectual schools had been compiled at the enterprise of the
President of the Republic of Kazakhstan and now Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Pavlodar

enhance the intellectual capacity of Kazakhstan through the development and implementation
integrates the best of Kazakhstani traditions, and that meets international standards of best
Intellectual schools makes many projects, such as Summer school, Tugan Yelge Tagzym,
Due to my personal concern, the main project for education teamwork is “shanyrak”.
The”shanyrak” in Kazakh culture has symbolic meaning because in national culture it is the
symbol of a family heirloom, a sign of the continuation of the family name. The picture of
shanyrak is on the State Emblem. In the State Emblem of the Republic, the image of a
shanyrak is a symbol of common home and a single homeland for all peoples living in the
country. The stable development of Kazakhstan depends on the well-being of every citizen,
as the strength and stability of shanyrak depend on the reliability of all its uyks(supports).
In the school life the “shanyrak”, as a little community, which bring students of different age
together. In the “shanyrak” adult take care of younger. The main idea of this system is that
we must cooperate, share and help each other. The community “shanyrak” consists of two
different classes. Every shanyrak can choose the name and create the emblem, motto. Every

All around the world, there are school programs similar to Kazakhstan's "shanyrak" and in
this project work, I explore the effectiveness of the system "shanyrak" and their differences
It is important to declare my personal interest in the research as I wanted to know more about
how to take action to increase the effectiveness of the school system “shanyrak” on academic
achievements of students.

Context
A few thousand years ago, the first schools appeared in ancient Egypt and soon the first
school association began to appear. School communities created for students, who can feel
accepted and valued, and to which they feel they are making the major contribution. The first
school associations were established in America and were spread all over the world. One of

Each community has its own name. In accordance with the goals and objectives of education
identified a variety of forms of educational activities: club, excursion, search work; line,
morning fees, "Shanyrak Hour" curatorial hours, quizzes, contests, holidays, conferences,
expedition, etc. The feature of work of the system “shanyrak” is the manifestation of
leadership qualities of the students. In the system “shanyrak”, senior high school takes

The new curriculum being introduced in NIS schools is designed to develop learners who not
only have good knowledge and understanding but can apply that knowledge and have the
skills to think critically and creatively about their learning (Cristina Rimini, 2017). Exactly

that relationships with mentors enable young adults to successfully enter the adult world and

They are built of people who feel they are part of something that is bigger than themselves: a
shared goal or enterprise, like righting a wrong, or building a road, or raising children, or
living honourably, or worshipping a god. To build a community requires only the ability to
see value in others: to look at them and see a potential partner in one's enterprise.”

As parents strive to raise children who succeed academically, develop supportive bonds with
others and avoid problem behaviours, they meet many challenges. Mentoring programs aim
to fill such gaps in children’s lives, by matching volunteers with youth who could benefit
from extra support and guidance. These programs have grown rapidly since the mid-1990s,
bolstered by a series of studies showing that mentoring improves the lives of youth (Aseltine,

The current study suggests that peer relationships may offer unique developmental
opportunities that should not be overlooked or underestimated. They provide a forum for
mutual exchange in which an individual can achieve a sense of expertise, equality, and
empathy that is frequently absent from traditional mentoring relationships. In addition, peer
relationships appear to have a longevity that exceeds that of most mentoring relationships.
These relationships can provide continuity over the course of a career, seeing individuals
through change and transition, as well as through the day-to-day tasks of work life.

Methodology
The research plan combined several different methods. In mixed methods, qualitative and
quantitative methods are combined. This combination provides a better understanding of the
research problem and question than either method by itself. One type of research (qualitative
or quantitative) is not enough to address the research problem or answer the research
questions. All the data from one method will be confirmed, checked and inaccuracies will be
reduced by another. Moreover, this will enable me to increase the overall point of the
In order to cover more abstract aspects of the research, I will conduct interviews consisting of
several questions. Along with questionnaires that will be given out to respondents for the
statistical representation of the findings in the study, interviews with the respondents will be
conducted. Qualitative methods were used to strengthen the overall quality of the research.

be mentioned, adaptation of the students who leave their homes in order to study in this

Conclusion
The work done showed that students of our school are informed about mentoring and think
that the Shanyrak program has a high efficiency. The respondents give many examples by
This study demonstrated how natural mentors within the school context can support prosocial
behavior, particularly school engagement, and deter risk behaviors amongst adolescents.
School is a place where various aspects of development beyond academic learning can occur.
The study’s findings have implications for formal mentoring programs. School-based
mentoring programs and researchers alike can consider ways to better integrate mentors into
the school structure in ways that encourage school attachment and reduced problem
behaviors.
Mentoring effectiveness has been proven by providing the results of the survey and interview.
According to materials collected from respondents and interviewees, it became obvious again
that the main criteria by which students adapt to new school program is the mentoring.
However, one aspect that needs to be taken into consideration is the difference in age of the
mentee and mentors. This factor can have large influence on the efficiency of this program,
because not fully informed students do not have enough profession skills to teach and give
advices to others.

Evaluation
In order to begin refining what is the effectiveness of this topic I conducted an extensive
reading of online journals, articles and created two research questions to gain a greater
understanding. The research process of literature review helped me refine my topic, think
more deeply about the concepts and confirm my initial assumptions. In my opinion, the
research was conducted productively and the main questions were answered.
The background research was provided by different credible sites. My research processes
began with research on the Cambridge Assessment website. Because this site is reliable and
extremely useful as it had all the most up to information. Finding information for my research
was the next process necessary and this went complicated and difficult. I located several
books, articles, websites and pamphlets to identify information which applied to my topic and
wrote relevant notes. I also used primary sources, such as people in my local community, to
gain more specific knowledge about our school system “shanyrak”. The archive of articles in
the school library and on the internet assisted me greatly in the effectiveness of this system.
These articles proved incredibly helpful because they involved students recounting their own
first-hand encounters with the school system "shanyrak". These articles were relevant to my
topic because they were all based in NIS. My outcome was valuable as it has raised my
awareness of the fact that the program of "shanyrak" is very effective, and I included all this
information in my final outcome. I also conducted the survey and interviews with the curators
of the school and with students of Nazarbayev Intellectual schools. A written survey was
handed out to some of my surrounding friends and acquaintances to find out the information
about their relationship on the school program “shanyrak”. The feedback I had sought from
the students throughout the course of my surveying was almost entirely positive and very
useful as I discovered that most people believe that this program is effective and had a

idea to take into account. By making these “parallels”, it would be possible to vividly identify
the strengths and weaknesses, features and novelty of our education. It could have built a

I do believe that the system “shanyrak” in our school is highly effective as it obtains an
important stance in the development of NIS. It encourages and empowers all students to
prosper together with strong friendship and unity! Shanyrak creates efficient cooperation
between curators and students and builds a resilient environment for development. In this
case, my shanyrak is real evidence of this successful system, where we share our experience
Personally, I believe that this system is mainly effects on the relationship between students,
the productivity of students’ academic and social performance and discipline between school
members.
It plays a significant role in this case. As my experience has shown, shanyrak mainly assists
students to exchange experience among each other. Mutual help and support make a great
I do insist advantages of this system overweight its drawbacks. First of all, shanyrak creates a
deep understanding and good relationships between its members which is really vital,
because they are the base of well-being and a piece among all students and curators.
Secondly, as I mentioned before, all students are able to successfully share their experience
and obtain a plentiful and endless amount of knowledge. Furthermore, shanyrak truly reveals
different treats and sides of students’ personalities. They become more sociable and
communicative. Personally, I think there are no disadvantages of this system as it has been
I would change nothing as I believe that today we have what has been evolving through a

have as I have already been given so many opportunities that changed my life to the positive
side. Shanyrak still helps me to “chill” from the school routine and to actively be involved in
social life
