There is a Student Service Center at the university, the goal of which is the fast and high-quality provision of public services in the educational process on the principle of one window, based on service standards. Students receive public services that are necessary: issuance of certificates to persons who have not completed technical –professional, post-secondary education; transfer and restoration of students; hostel is provided; acceptance of documents in the organization; issuance of duplicate documents; granting of academic leave, also here our students can receive certificates from the portal, update the EDS and other necessary services. Thus, we try to work very openly with students and with teachers.
In educational buildings and hostels, videos are broadcast on an ongoing basis aimed at popularizing the receipt of public services through PEDs using EDS, mobile applications.
This system of providing services is focused on the implementation of the state program “Digital Kazakhstan”, and also allows you to eliminate corruption risks in the system of interaction “university – student”, to increase the efficiency and promptness of solving students’ requests, to significantly reduce the time to receive services.
In order to form in the student and youth environment intolerance to manifestations of corruption and the formation of the level of anti-corruption culture at the university:
- monthly articles on anti-corruption education are included in the issues of the newspaper “For Polytechnic Knowledge”;
- before the introduction of quarantine, a playlist of propaganda videos was broadcast on the university television every day in each building and dormitory of the university to explain the main directions of the state’s anti-corruption policy to create an environment of mass rejection of corruption;
- before the introduction of quarantine, the “Territory of Honesty” functioned (buffet of the 1st building), which was promoted by the activists of the “Sanaly Urpak” Club;
- anti-corruption posts are published in the university and college social media accounts;
- in all academic groups, students and teachers were familiarized with the Code of Honor of College Students with the Anti-Corruption Standard;
A set of measures to prevent and combat corruption is being successfully implemented:
- the discipline “Fundamentals of Law” has been introduced into the working curricula of all specialties.
- the entire educational process has been transferred to digital technologies: the automated information system “MOODLE” is functioning, by logging into which under his username and password, the student has complete information about the educational process: academic calendar, schedule of classes / exams, curriculum, current certification, journal of visits and academic performance, tab (assessment), information about debts, retakes, distance courses, phone numbers, email addresses, ZОOM data of all college teachers and other information necessary for training;
According to the schedule of the educational process, the current certification of students (session) is carried out according to the approved examination schedule. In the 2020-2021 academic year, exams were conducted through the MOODLE platform as testing. The program will display the results instantly and automatically and exposes the marks. We really liked to conduct exams through digital technology, as this excludes contact between the student and the teacher. According to the rules, students have the right to retake, this is all decided collectively through the commission.
The college conducts final certification (IA) for the graduating groups. A final certification commission was created by order, the chairmen are employees of large enterprises, and university professors are also members of the commission. IA was carried out through the program “ZOOM”. The students were present in person, the cameras were turned on, and identification cards were shown before the defense. The defense of the diploma projects was recorded in full.
Every Monday there will be operational meetings of the college administration, every Tuesday a meeting with the director on improving the quality of the educational process.
