The implementation of the National Project “Comfortable School” was considered at a meeting in the Government on 29 July under the chairmanship of First Deputy Prime Minister Roman Sklyar.
As reported by the Kazakh Government’s press service, the National Project “Comfortable School” provides for building 369 schools of a new format for 740 thousand pupils by 2026. As of today, active work on 217 schools is underway.
Particular attention is paid to the functionality and safety of the educational environment in the implementation of the national project. Separate blocks for elementary and high school students are envisaged. Among the requirements are increasing safety measures through the introduction of modern technical means, creating a barrier-free environment for children with special educational needs and providing schools with modern subject classrooms.
When constructing schools, priority is given to domestic manufacturers. The share of Kazakhstan-made materials in the national project averages 70%, including construction materials up to 90%. Furniture is exclusively of domestic production.
Commissioning of the first schools is expected ahead of schedule. Thus, 21 comfortable schools will be opened in August, before the beginning of the school year. Further, according to plans, 18 schools will be opened in September, 58 more in October, and 112 schools by the end of the year.
In addition, 85 schools are being built in the country at the expense of various sources, of which 8 schools have already been put into operation and more than 30 schools are planned to be built before the beginning of the new school year.
