Workshops led by Lou Ban officially launched in Kazakhstan
The Lu Ban workshops, initiated under the instruction of the Head of State, are playing a significant role in scaling up engineering and technical education in Kazakhstan. These practical-oriented training centres are located in Astana, Almaty, and East Kazakhstan.
The first Lu Ban workshop was established in 2023 at the East Kazakhstan Technical University named after D. Serikbayev. The opening ceremony was reported by our website, marking the commencement of this important platform for developing engineering and technical education in the country.
Following the success of the first workshop, the second and third Lu Ban workshops were opened in Kazakhstan. The second workshop was established at L.N. Gumilev Eurasian National University in Astana, while the third was opened at the Academy of Logistics and Transport in Almaty.
The Lu Ban workshops aim to prepare personnel for various sectors of the economy in Kazakhstan. However, no further details about the nature of the training or the specific sectors involved were provided in the report.
It's worth noting that the Lu Ban workshops are not limited to Kazakhstan. The Pakistan Lu Ban Workshop was co-founded in Punjab in 2018, and further workshops have been developed to support technical education along the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. One such example is the Lu Ban workshop in Tianjin, China, which aims to enhance employment and cooperation between Chinese and Pakistani enterprises.
The opening of the Lu Ban workshops follows high-level talks between President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Chinese President Xi Jinping, though no information about the location or date of these talks was given. The report was based on information from Akorda's press service.
In conclusion, the Lu Ban workshops are a crucial part of Kazakhstan's efforts to scale up their experience in engineering and technical education, providing practical-oriented training to prepare personnel for various sectors of the economy. The expansion of these workshops beyond Kazakhstan's borders is a testament to their success and their potential to contribute to the development of technical education worldwide.
