School education of East Kazakhstan region takes the forms of traditional, distance and combined education – Akimat

Danial Akhmetov instructed to provide housing for young health workers under the One-Story East Program

The meeting, held in the Akimat of East Kazakhstan region under the leadership of Danial Akhmetov, addressed the overall performance of the Regional Administrations of Education, Healthcare and Passenger Transport Development. As a result of the event, the regional akim said that the preparation of schools for the new school year was fully completed. Moreover, he stressed that all 647 educational institutions of the region will work using the Ashyq system.

“To prevent disease incidences, education has taken three forms: traditional, distance and combined. 100% of teachers and employees of educational institutions have already received vaccinations against COVID-19. All schools are equipped with medical offices and isolation wards. The safety of our children is ensured by the installed video surveillance systems and alarm buttons,” wrote D. Akhmetov on his official Instagram page.

An important issue for the region is the transportation of children to schools. Organized transportation of school students is currently available in 134 educational institutions of the region. This year, the region has additionally purchased 26 buses. Danial Akhmetov intends to intensify efforts in this direction. During the meeting, he instructed Education Administration to analyze the situation and in the near future to inform about how many more buses are needed for schools of the region.

During the meeting, the head of the region made a remark to Health Administration for the fact that, despite the previously adopted program, not a single cardiologist of the region has yet been sent for training and advanced training. Akim demanded to solve this issue as quickly as possible. Furthermore, in order to eliminate the shortage of medical personnel, he instructed akims of cities and districts to provide housing for young specialists under the One-Storey East Program.

Concerning the transport system development, Danial Akhmetov highlighted the soon completion of the reconstruction of the airports in Urjar and Ust-Kamenogorsk, as well as a noticeable improvement in the operation of the ferry crossing Kyzyl Tu after being transferred to the jurisdiction of OblShygysZhol LLP.

 At the same time, Passenger Transport and Highways Administration of East Kazakhstan region and akims of Katon-Karagai, Kurchum, Kokpekty and Gluboky districts were instructed to consider the possibility of allocating houses built under off-take contracts for local bus stations.

Danial Akhmetov made a condition: bus stations in four districts should be established by the end of the year.
