Letters of Gratitude

Posted by Zina Omarova, English Manager

Today the director of IRI Beth Turnock and I met with the directors of Taraz State University, Taraz State Pedagogical Institute, Gymnasium # 40 and Gymnasium # 7. The purpose of our visit was to deliver Letters of Gratitude for their ongoing cooperation and support. In the past, they have allowed their teachers to miss school in order to participate as trainers and participants in our Teacher IMPACT program. Also, we congratulated these directors on the Kazakh holiday Nauryz (the Kazakh New Year) and gave them Interlink souvenirs. The director of the Pedagogical Institute offered the use of his facilities if we need them in the future to hold trainings.

Note: Gymnasiums are schools that have a higher academic standard, similar to magnet schools in the States.
