The materials of the seminar can be found in this post. The surrounding world is no longer analog – textual, it has been replaced by visual – digital – and this requires the expansion and rethinking of the concept of «functional literacy».

For the integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan into the world economic, cultural, social, digital space poses new challenges to the education system, namely, the education of a student who is able to adapt in a rapidly changing world, who has functional literacy to participate in solving global problems. Starting in 2018, global competence becomes an important part in the assessment of functional literacy, which is considered as “the ability of students to interact with the world around them.” It is “a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, attitudes and values successfully applied when interacting with people who belong to a different cultural environment, and with the participation of individuals in solving global problems.”

The need for socialization of the individual in the multicultural society of the country and the global world orients the national system of assessing the quality of education to acquire universal «soft» skills that have integrativity not only through the subject content, but also through values.
