Competition of young intellectuals: a new stage in the academic marathon

The fifth season of the intellectual competition "Ziyatker" has commenced, jointly organized by Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University and the Qyzylorda TV channel.

The main goal of this educational competition is to identify gifted youth, enhance their cognitive interest, and raise the knowledge level of schoolchildren. The project covers 7 districts and Kyzylorda city of Kyzylorda region.

Students from 10th and 11th grades participate in the competition. Six schoolchildren were selected from each district, with a total of 48 participants earning their tickets to the educational race. The best will be determined during the competition, and in the final, 6 participants will compete against each other. The top three winners, who demonstrate the best results in the decisive duel, will be awarded educational grants from Korkyt Ata University.

All participants confirm their knowledge across 7 stages. First, general knowledge questions are asked, while the 2nd stage, "Mainstream," covered topics such as cinema, music, and cartoons. In the 3rd stage, "2 Pictures – 1 Book", participants were required to identify literary works based on images shown on the screen.

The 4th stage featured questions about historical figures, scientists, and writers who contributed to science and philosophy. The 5th stage was dedicated to information technologies, and in the 6th stage, participants demonstrated their fluency in Russian and English. In the final 7th stage, they provide an overview of the Kazakhstan history.

The intellectual competition not only increases the younger generation's interest in knowledge but also develops their logical thinking and contributes to the formation of a competitive personality.
