The Kazakh Ministry of Education
continues its efforts to organize the educational process in regions of
Kazakhstan affected by floods. High-speed internet is being installed to ensure
communication and quality organization of distance learning. Currently, 13
schools in the Kostanai, Aktobe, Ulytau, and East Kazakhstan regions have been
connected to the Starlink network. Approximately 5,000 school students,
previously placed in evacuation centers, have already been accommodated in
children’s health centers and dormitories. Furthermore, an additional 8,000
spots have been prepared for children and their parents.
“To support teachers, the
deadlines for their certification in the Atyrau, Akmola, Aktobe, West
Kazakhstan, North Kazakhstan, and Kostanai regions have been postponed to a
later date. Monitoring of students’ educational achievements in 42 schools
across the country has been canceled. Summative assessments for units and terms
have also been canceled for all school students in the Aktobe and Atyrau
regions. Decisions regarding each case are made individually by local executive
bodies, following the protocol of the Ministry of Education,” said Mereke
Nurmukhanova, spokesperson for the Kazakh Ministry of Education.
