XVIII Republican Subject Olympiad
Currently, the field of education is constantly developing and modernizing in accordance with new requirements. As part of these changes, the main goal of universities is the professional training of future specialists, the development of their abilities and advanced education. Subject Olympiads among students play an important role in this.
The subject Olympiad is a platform where students demonstrate not only their knowledge, but also their logical thinking abilities, creative searches, and independent decision-making skills. Through such competitions, the student evaluates the level of his knowledge and increases the desire to improve. The tasks that will be given during the Olympiad require complex and comprehensive thinking. This will allow the student to develop research skills, the ability to relate theory to practice.
In addition, the subject Olympiad is an effective way to identify talented young people. The subject Olympiad is important not only for the individual, but also for the entire university. The success of students increases the prestige of an educational institution and testifies to the high quality of education. In addition, the exchange of experience with students from other educational institutions is the basis of professional relations. Subject Olympiads are a crossroads of knowledge and competition. This gives the student a great opportunity to hone their abilities and become a professional person. Therefore, active participation in such Olympiads is an important and useful experience for every student.
On April 17-18, 2025, Kazakh National Pedagogical University named after Abai hosted the XVII Republican Subject Olympiad on the group of educational programs “6b012 – chemistry teacher training”. This Olympiad was attended by a 4th–year student of the educational program 6b01088(1) – Chemistry-Biology of the Caspian University of Technology and Engineering named after Sh. Yesenova Bekbulat Kaysar and 2nd year student Nurmukhanov Nurstan.
Students from 18 universities of the country took part in the Olympiad, which passed 2 stages. At the first stage, students competed in theoretical knowledge, completing 5 tasks with 70 points each, and at the second stage, an experiment with 30 points each. At the experimental stage, instead of the tasks of classical quantitative and qualitative analysis, the task of instrumental analysis was given. This indicates the strong material base of the university hosting the Olympiad.
According to the decision of the jury of the 2-day competition, a 4th-year student of the Caspian University of Technology and Engineering named after Sh. Yesenova Bekbulat Kaysar won a diploma of the first degree and a gold medal in the individual competition, and our university took the second place in the team competition.
Since the first place in the individual competition was taken by a student of our university, in the 2025-2026 academic year, the XVIII Republican Subject Olympiad in the group of educational programs “6b012 – chemistry teacher training” will be held at our university.
We would like to thank the management of our university and the staff who allowed us to take part in an important event in the life of such a student.
