The NU Social Development Fund has implemented a number of initiatives aimed at supporting the volunteer movement in the country, as well as helping socially vulnerable groups. Like the entire NU community, the Social Development Fund supports measures to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
Despite the state of emergency and the introduction of quarantine, the NU community continues to be active in both research and public outreach. But now, we have transitioned to working online.
On March 19, the capital introduced the “Quarantine” regime – where the city borders were closed for entry and exit, movement in the city was limited, and people were encouraged to keep social and physical distance from others. From March 30, companies moved to remote work and ceased their traditional (usually in person) mode of operation, and from April 6, all educational institutions shifted to distance learning.
There is a growing concern about ecological sustainability and mitigating potential human impact on our planet’s environment. Scientific communities around the world want to create eco-friendly products that will help reduce risk in a variety of industries, and NU researchers are no exception.
NU has established the fastest computing station for the advanced development of artificial intelligence (AI). Two NVIDIA DGX-2 servers included in the workstation specialize in general-purpose computing on GPUs to accelerate research in the field of deep learning.
In our ever-changing world, people have come to expect innovative solutions to the problems they face in everyday life. The world is becoming a “better place” to live due to technological advances developed around the world, and Kazakhstan is part of this effort.
Starting April 6th, the first week of regular classes began for all NU students in an online mode. For all students who needed laptops, NU provided them free of charge.
Signaling the threat to public health posed by COVID-19, and following the first casualties recorded in the country, the Government has further stepped up measures designed to limit the spread of the virus by further restricting physical interaction. Delaying and flattening the peak of COVID-19’s spread gives Kazakhstan’s health system a fighting chance to manage the oncoming wave of infection.
What do the Kazakhstani rural school leaders, teachers, students, and parents understand by the quality of education? What opportunities, resources, and support are available to these rural schools for achieving their aspired quality of education? What issues and challenges do these rural schools face in achieving the perceived quality of education? What possible solutions can be found to the issues hindering the quality of education in these schools? To explore these questions, a mixed methods study is being conducted in purposefully selected mainstream rural schools in Kazakhstan. This study employs a modified version of the UNICEF’s Quality of Education Framework: the quality of learners, curriculum/content, processes, environments, and outcomes (UNICEF, 2000) to explore the research questions.
Urgent need to replace competition with cooperation in the Aral Sea BasinBy Stefanos Xenarios, Iskandar Abdullaev and Vladimir SmakhtinNur-Sultan City, Kazakhstan – The water resources in Central Asia’s Aral Sea Basin support the lives and livelihoods of about 70 million people — a population greater than that of Thailand, France, or South Africa. And, unless well-funded and coordinated joint efforts are increased and competition is replaced by cooperation, ongoing over-withdrawals compounded by climate change will cause dangerous water shortages in this huge, highly complex watershed spanning six nations: Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
