President Tokayev tours capital’s new schools

There are a few days left before the start of the new academic year in Kazakhstan. Today, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev visited the capital’s new educational institutions built under the Comfortable School national project. At school number 103, the Head of State toured classrooms equipped with modern technology, including video surveillance systems inside and outside the school and entrance control systems. Additional security is ensured thanks to dividing classrooms into separate blocks for primary and high school students. All necessary conditions for children with special educational needs have also been provided.

President Tokayev then visited school number 101, which will accommodate over 4,000 children in two shifts. He reviewed classrooms, creative spaces, a gym, and an assembly hall. The new school will focus on developing children’s creative skills, studying digital technology and robotics, and exploring artificial intelligence applications. Astana Mayor Zhenis Kassymbek reported to the Head of State that 24 schools are currently under construction in the capital as part of the Comfortable School national project. Kazakh Minister of Education Gani Beisembayev noted that more than 300 secondary educational institutions are being built across the country.
