Sagintayev instructed to intensify the construction of schools

 

The Head of State paid special attention to education, support for teachers, and improving their working conditions. Hence, since the beginning of the year, the salary of teachers has increased by 25%. In Almaty, the average salary of a young teacher is 157 thousand tenge. Taking into account the increase, the average salary of teachers in 2022 will amount to 183 thousand tenge.

 

To increase the motivation and qualifications of teachers, the city program for the development of human resources for education workers "Almaty schools" will be implemented.

 

At the same time, in accordance with the instructions of the Head of State, the issue of improving the quality of information systems for remote education formats will be worked out. At the same time, attention will be paid to solving problems of increasing the bandwidth of the Internet in certain microdistricts of the city.

 

In addition, work will continue to ensure accessibility and create conditions for inclusive education in all educational institutions by 2025. B. Sagintayev instructed

the Department of Education to work out the issue of providing the winners and prize-winners of international subject Olympiads with grants for admission to universities on a non-competitive basis.

 

The possibility of comprehensive support for talented children, the payment of one-time cash bonuses to them, as well as the encouragement of teachers who raised such students will also be considered.

23 thousand children from socially unprotected families have been provided with help from the Vseobucha Foundation. With the beginning of the new academic year, assistance in the amount of over 800 million tenge was provided through the “Road to School” campaign. In addition, children in this category will be provided with free meals at school.

 

One of the key issues is to reduce the shortage of student places. This year, 11 private schools for 3.5 thousand student places were opened, 9 new buildings for 4150 places were put into operation. Another 8 buildings for 4113 seats will be commissioned by the end of October. In addition, construction of 8 schools for 12.6 thousand student places is underway. Also, by 2023, it is planned to build four schools for 2650 places and 7 buildings for existing schools for 2650 places. Projects are being developed for the construction of 10 kindergartens for 2340 children.

 

In order to fulfill the task set by the Head of State for the construction of thousands of schools by the end of 2025, the akim of Almaty B. Sagintayev instructed to develop a set of measures and new approaches to increase student places.

 

In accordance with the instruction on the implementation of the "Free TVE" project with a focus on young people from the NEET category, work on early career guidance for children will be strengthened. At the same time, within the framework of the national digitalization project, an emphasis will be placed on the training of high-quality IT specialists.
