Kazakhstan, located in the heart of Eurasia, occupies a unique geo-economic position that
determines its significance in the global economic system. This feature makes the study of the
country's geo-economic potential an essential component of the school geography curriculum.
Developing students' understanding of Kazakhstan's geo-economic position in geography lessons
contributes to fostering civic responsibility, patriotism, analytical thinking, and professional skills.
This article explores the features of Kazakhstan's geo-economic situation and the issue of
forming geo-economic knowledge in schoolchildren. Geo-economics contributes to the
development of economic thinking, the appreciation of national values, and understanding
Kazakhstan's role in international relations. The study demonstrates that the use of innovative
methods and interactive tools in teaching geo-economics significantly enhances students' learning
outcomes. Geo-economic maps, multimedia materials, and practical tasks help students gain a
deeper understanding of geo-economic issues and their impact on global processes. Additionally, it
is highlighted that geo-economic education plays a key role in developing social responsibility and
shaping students' future professional orientation. The study confirms that the integration of geo
economics into the school curriculum broadens students' horizons and helps them better understand
their country's economic development and its place in the world.
The article highlights the necessity of a systematic approach to studying Kazakhstan's geo
economic position in school geography education. This approach enables students to gain a deeper
understanding of the country's role in global processes, recognize its potential and importance, and
prepare for active participation in addressing pressing economic and social challenges.
