Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev visited the Aktobe
region, starting his working trip with a tour of industrial facilities. His
first stop was the Bolashak mine, which has a design capacity of 7.5 million
tonnes of chromite ore per year. Investments in the enterprise exceed one
trillion tenge. The launch of the mine is
expected to be a historic event for Kazakhstan’s mining industry and to
open up new opportunities for industrial growth.
The Head of State also toured local educational
institutions. The Khromtau Mining and Technical Higher College, the only
training center for the mining industry in the western part of the country, has
more than 1,150 future specialists enrolled. The educational process
incorporates advanced technologies that successfully combine practical and
theoretical knowledge. At a special mining training ground, students practice
complex maneuvers in operating machinery. President Tokayev spoke to the
students and graduates of the educational institution, reminding them of the
importance of working professions. The upcoming year will specifically mark
this focus.
«I am a future beneficiation specialist. This working
profession is considered one of the important roles in the mining sector. It
involves not only processing chromite ore but also sorting it into valuable
components and waste.»
«I come from a dynasty of miners, so, of course, I decided
to follow in my parents’ footsteps and enroll in this college. I am confident
that hard work is the key to success.»
President Tokayev also visited Khromtau Secondary School No.
1, where digital technologies are being widely implemented. As part of a
special pilot project, teachers exchange experiences remotely. The Head of
State also attended an online open lesson and presented the school with a bus.
