On April 16, 2025, a conversation about developing creativity in education took place on the morning show "Buterbrod" on Retro FM radio, featuring Nazgul Kubakaeva, Director of Creative Kyrgyzstan, and Ulukbek Zheembaev, teacher-Jaratman of the Teach for Kyrgyzstan program and master's student in "Pedagogical Activity in Times of Change" at the International University of Central Asia.

Program guests discussed the significance of World Creativity Week and shared practical experience in developing creative thinking, initiative, and other skills necessary for successful life in the twenty-first century among schoolchildren. Ulukbek Zheembaev explained how Jaratmans apply innovative pedagogical approaches in rural schools, combining practical teaching activity with in-depth study of contemporary educational methods within IUCA's master's program. Radio participants also invited listeners to the creativity festival that took place over the weekend at Ala-Too cinema.

The IUCA master's student's appearance on a popular radio show demonstrates growing public interest in education transformation and recognition of the "Zamanbap Mugalim" program's contribution to developing pedagogical leadership. The program offers participants a unique combination of opportunities, including earning a master's degree at IUCA, developing professional competencies under the guidance of experienced methodologists and curators, scholarship support, paid work in schools, the opportunity to implement their own educational projects, and inclusion in a vibrant community of like-minded Jaratmans united by the common mission of transforming Kyrgyzstan's education.

Admissions to the master's program "Pedagogical Activity in Times of Change" continue. Candidates interested in earning a master's degree while simultaneously working to transform education in rural schools can submit applications through teachforkyrgyzstan.org and https://www.instagram.com/p/DIguhGgozwr/
