Logistics are also well developed. Private investment allows us to implement projects for the construction of about 30 schools - some of them have been commissioned, others will be launched this year. Until 2025, we are planning to open schools every year,” said Yerbol Kanafin, Deputy Chairperson of the Astana Development Center.
