The introduction of international experience in the Intellectual School of Taraz began in 2016. For 4 years, the teachers-members of HertsCam NIS Taraz conducted research, identified ideas, collected data, and made action plans. Seminars, interscholastic meetings and consultations were also held.

The Association, which aims to improve the competence and leadership of teachers, was founded 23 years ago in the UK. The program is implemented in more than 1,000 schools in 17 countries.

Currently, the international project has been implemented in 4 cities of Kazakhstan: Nur-Sultan, Almaty, Kokshetau and Taraz. Across the country, 16 schools operate under this program, involving about 200 teachers and school leaders.
