SCHOOL MUSEUMS OF NORTH KAZAKHSTAN IN POPULARIZING THE CULTURAL HERITAGE OF LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Abstract

A school museum is a unique, primary, collective museum formation that not only has educational and educational goals, but also tasks in the accumulation and concentration of objects of historical, cultural and natural significance, valuable to representatives of local communities. The phenomenon of a school museum in northern Kazakhstan has turned 100 years old in this decade. Over the past century, it has undergone phases of rapid growth, cooperation with regional museums, transformation into a state museum, decline in activity over the past 30 years, and revival of its work in recent years. State programs of the Republic of Kazakhstan after 2000 seek to regulate and direct the activities of school museums in a unified direction - the preservation of historical and cultural heritage, which is important both for local communities and for the country as a whole.
