Young border guards will be trained at a school in Astana.
To this end, a specialized class called “Zhas Shekarashy” has been opened
there. Students will learn the basics of military regulations, proper uniform
wear, formation drills, and other subjects related to border service. The
program will also include field trips and training exercises. Enrollment will
begin in the 7th grade, and classes will be taught by border service veterans.
The school already offers similar specialized programs for future police
officers and military personnel.
«These children will grow up knowing what our border service
is and will be raised with a sense of patriotism and a commitment to defending
our homeland. After all, our homeland begins at the frontiers—at our borders. I
was born and raised in a border district myself. I was a member of the “Young
Friend of the Border Guard” club, and we also visited a border outpost that was
under our patronage,» said Olga Dotsenko, member of the national public
association of border guard veterans «Zastava Tarlandary.»
«The main focus will be on helping these young people become
border guards. After 11th grade, we have the Border Guard Service Military
Academy in Almaty, where we will train them to become officers,» said Yermek
Abdrakhmanov, curator of the «Zhas Shekarashy» class.
