TEACHER'S JOURNEY

10 DAYS OF TRAVEL BY ASEL UBAYDYLDAEVA, A PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHER, FROM THE VILLAGE OF CHOLPON, ISSYK-KUL REGION. FOUNDATION AWARD

In this publication, I share with you a story about the journey of the winner of the FIRST TEACHER of 2021 contest – Asel Ubaydyldaeva, a primary school teacher in the village of Cholpon in Ak-Suu district, Issyk-Kul region. She came on the trip together with Altynai Nadyrbekova, a clinical resident of KSMU specializing in pediatric cardiorheumatology, the winner of the competition of young scientists within the framework of the KSMU Science Days 2022.

The journey took place in 2022, but I am writing about it only now. The fact is that after two years of the pandemic, the summer of 2022 saw a large number of trips at once as part of the Sanzharbek Daniyarov Foundation Prize. This is a weekend trip of students from nine primary grades from nine regions to Bishkek, as well as three teachers and one medical scientist. Therefore, some of my reports are late, and I fill in the gap!
