Kazakh schoolchildren have started the new academic year. According to the country’s
Ministry of Education, there are around 360,000 first graders. Notably, about
90,000 students will study in newly opened schools, and more than 200,000 in 178
schools that have undergone major repairs. Also, about 1,000 rural schools have
been reconstructed. Subject classrooms in the regions have been updated and modernized,
with more than 1,500 classes featuring specialized equipment. Besides, nine
comfortable schools have been opened, with plans to launch 217 more by year-end.
It is worth reminding that the Comfortable School national project is being

«To ensure high-speed internet in all schools,
1,731 STARLINK satellites have been installed, leading to a threefold
improvement in internet quality. All textbooks have been digitized and are available
on 11 platforms. Currently, the Ministry of Education is working on integrating
artificial intelligence into the state compulsory education standard,» said Gani
