Ruslan Karatabanov

Ruslan Karatabanov is the Vice President of the National Academy of Education within the Ministry of Education in Kazakhstan. He recently garnered attention for his role in discussing the potential consolidation of natural science subjects—biology, chemistry, and physics—into a single discipline called 'natural sciences.' This proposal sparked significant debate within the educational community, as he argued for the benefits of such an integration to streamline learning. However, the idea faced considerable backlash, leading to the Minister of Education, Zhuldyz Suleimenova, announcing that these subjects would remain separate to ensure a comprehensive understanding of fundamental sciences among students.
