For example, West Kazakhstani schoolchildren are champions of the country for rock climbing, despite the fact that West Kazakhstan region is a flat region.

In addition, V. Fomin spoke out for the necessity of curating the school museums by the Department of Culture and providing them with the necessary methodological assistance. Archaeologist, Head of the regional center of history and archeology Murat Sdykov notes that the creation of the museum requires systematic work.

The participants of the meeting notes that the ancient settlement "Zhaiyk" is a brand for the region. It is conveniently located for visits and gives a scientific grounding of the history of the city. This is a specific city, and specific people lived there. Therefore, the issue of creating a museum of the ancient settlement "Zhaiyk" should be approached carefully and responsibly.
