Give your assessment of the intellectual level of the Kazakhstan society

To determine the intellectual level of society, one of the way is determine a education of a country. In the modern world education is the base of a democratic lifestyle and culture. Therefore the modern education level is necessary for free and democratic society. Education is one of the main conditions of active participation of a person in political, economic, social and spiritual life of society. Commercialization of this system is especially distinguished from numerous innovations in an education system of Post-Soviet time. In our opinion, commercialization of education and upbringing contradicts an ideal of the humanity approving a worthiness of the person, ordering to recreate equal chances to everybody in familiarizing with general welfare to which, without doubt, knowledge, intellectual skills, abilities, and norms of decency, public disciplines also belong. The humanization of education assumes revival of the moral beginnings in cultural and creative mission of school, society as a whole. As the spiritual and cultural phenomenon humanity is shown as an ethical standard, a social ideal, a spiritual value, a principle of free will, mutual help and cooperation, respect for the rights and dignity of a person, justice, intolerance to oppression and violence, etc. We consider that in modern conditions updating of the content of education assumes theoretically and practically justified transition to a humanitarian paradigm of education development, a measure and the center of which is the person. The humanitarian paradigm of development of education assumes its humanitarization and humanization. From the point of view of the content of arts education it is necessary to speak about the following directions which have to be presented in it: philosophical, historical, culturological, economic, socio-political, ecological, physical. To humanize and humanitarize education means to make the main task of education free development of abilities of the person in all spheres of his activity through approach to achievements of world and domestic culture. Improvement of quality of higher and vocational education, preparation of graduates at the level of leading educational institutions of industrially developed countries is impossible without strengthening of spiritual component of educational and educational process. The basis of integrity of this process is the spiritual component of education assuming philosophical apprehension of life of the person and the problem of education of spirituality as the highest extent of development of the human beginning. Thus, it is necessary to estimate quality of education and educational programs, first of all, on depth of disclosure of abilities of a person as creative person.
