The Institute of State History and the National Testing Center have worked out the upcoming joint work. At the same time, the career guidance priorities of history issues were discussed in the context of the transition to a new format of unified national testing. As the Minister of Science and Higher Education, Sayasat Nurbek, noted earlier, “the new format of test questions resembles the international SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) exam. The child’s thinking is taken into account there first,” Director of the National Testing Center R. Yemelbayev noted that “this year 350 specialists have been trained and certified to prepare tests. They note that they are developing 5,000 new questions.” In turn, the director of the Institute, N. Pusyrmanov, emphasized the institute’s readiness to actively participate in the work on the formation of new humanitarian knowledge, the importance of the role of test queries in the modern professional orientation of students. In addition, Nurbek Serikovich noted that the history of Kazakhstan consists not only of numbers and dates, its training is focused on honing life skills, competencies of the student, the formation of categorical thinking and critical attitude. In addition, the 30th anniversary of the National Testing Center in our country has become a significant date, and this is a unique successful project in the history of an independent country, including in the national education system. In this direction, it was convinced that partnership work would contribute to accelerated sustainable reform of the education sector in the country.
