According to official data, there is a need in more than 5000 teachers in Kazakhstan. Schools require primary school teachers, mathematics, Russian and English, physics, chemistry, computer science and music teachers. And the number of schoolchildren in the country is increasing every year. So, for example, in 2018, 336 thousand children went to the first classes, in 2019 – 380 thousand children, in 2020 - 400 thousand children and in the coming year this figure will only grow. In this regard, one of the main directions of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan is the need to increase the number of students in pedagogical specialties.

The priority tasks facing the L. N. Gumilyov ENU – alma mater of pedagogical specialists, are increasing the number of students in pedagogical specialties, further improving educational programs; innovative approaches to teaching and professional development of teachers; qualitative development of pedagogical departments, taking into account the reality of a new type of literacy in the era of Industry 4.0, and many others.
