Less than a third of students at "Tunguch" online school passed first year

In its inaugural year, the "Tunguch" online school saw fewer than a third of its students successfully complete their studies. Director Aisuluu Jamangulova reported that out of 2,170 students enrolled, only 635 advanced to the next grade or graduated from the 9th and 11th forms.

In the context of the online school's work, I am proud of this figure, 635, because initially, most of the population had the expectation that an online school was purely for obtaining an education document. But you have to study here too.

Jamangulova expressed pride in the 635 figure, noting that many initially expected the online school to be a mere formality for obtaining an education certificate. "But you have to study here too," she stated. The school maintained a strict oversight of the learning process, recording all student activities on the platform, including login times, subject engagement, and how final grades were calculated. Parents can review their child's activity at any time.

During the first parent-teacher meeting, the school warned that students failing to engage with the platform would not receive grades and would not be certified. Those who diligently participated and earned passing marks have been promoted. Students who did not meet the requirements face autumn re-attestation or can reapply for the course they did not complete.

“

We were important to maintain the reputation of the school, so we very strictly monitored the entire process, recorded all children's activities. We can show any parent how much and when their child logged into the platform, in which subjects, what grades they received, and how the quarterly grade was formed.

The online school caters to children of labor migrants abroad, those undergoing hospital treatment, and students with disabilities but intact intellect. The Cabinet has expanded its offerings to include advanced online preparation for national and international Olympiads, language courses, and the ability to enroll students from other schools in specific subjects if there's a shortage of teachers.

At the first parent meeting, we warned: if the student does not log into the platform, they will not receive quarterly grades and we will not certify them.
