all social obligations to Kazakh citizens, as stated by Deputy Prime Minister

«There are plans to build 369 schools under the
Comfortable School national project. Last year, 36 schools were built,
and this year an additional 25 will be erected using funds seized and returned
as part of investigations of corruption crimes. With the Auyl – El Besigi
program and local budget allocations, seven schools were built and put into
operation in 2023, with plans to construct six more this year. The total amount
allocated from various sources for school construction over two years amounts
to 2.4 trillion tenge,» Duissenova said.
Duissenova also addressed the issue of

next year. This work is currently underway in Astana, Almaty, Shymkent, and
regional centers. Over 1,000 base stations have been installed in 20 cities. A
special national project has been approved for the development of the Internet
industry in Kazakhstan.
«Its implementation provides for connecting
optical communication lines to 3,010 villages through a public-private
partnership mechanism. This initiative aims to provide Internet access
to 2.4 million people,» Duissenova added.
