Not pioneers, nor scouts

According to the statistics provided by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, more than 2,5 million boys and girls went to school this year. 297 thousands 584 children opened doors to the first grade, and 54% went to country side schools. Comparing ministerial statistics from 2008 with this year, quantity of scholars did not change. But what about quality?!

Answers to these philosophical questions will be available to every family, whose child joined school, during the school year. However visible changes, at least in the school uniform for the South capital, Almaty, are present: school uniform got one more additional thing - forage caps and ties colored in to the national flag color, with yellow edging on the caps and mini-copy of the national flag’s symbol on the tie.

Looking with an irony on such a change, one may want unintentionally alter an old Soviet song into the new one: “Not pioneers we are, nor scouts, and we don’t have any bitter regrets for it..”
