Green School
The Zhassyl Mektep (Green School) project is aimed at developing environmental awareness, practical skills and scientific thinking in schoolchildren.
The project involves installation of greenhouses in public schools. In 2021, 16 greenhouses were installed in Almaty, in 2022 – 20 greenhouses in Astana, including a greenhouse in one of the city’s colleges.
Lessons held in greenhouses allow for supplementing the school curriculum with useful and interesting optional classes. Extracurricular work in greenhouses helps to foster responsibility in children, develop research abilities, improve time management, delegation and problem-solving skills, which contributes to their comprehensive personal growth and preparation for future life, where understanding and caring for the environment will play an important role.
According to the intermediate results of the program, children’s interest in scientific and practical activities has significantly increased: schoolchildren write scientific reports, conduct research and tests.
