In 2024–2025:
10 "Keleshek Mektepteri" (Schools of the Future) were commissioned with a total capacity of 6,900 places (5 in the city of Kyzylorda, 2 in the Aral District, 1 in the Kazaly District, and 2 in the Zhanakorgan District).
Specifically, 5 schools were commissioned in 2024: a 900-seat school on the left bank of the Syr Darya River in the city of Kyzylorda; a 600-seat school in the KBI microdistrict of Kyzylorda city; a 300-seat school in the town of Aralsk, Aral District; a 300-seat school in the village of Zhanaryk, Zhanakorgan District; and a 600-seat school in the Sayazhay microdistrict of the Zhanakorgan settlement, Zhanakorgan District.

In addition, schools in the villages of Tokabay (100-student capacity) and Akshatau (50-student capacity) in the Aral District were put into operation.
"Keleshek Mektepteri" National Project
In the Kyzylorda Region, ten "Keleshek Mektepteri" schools with a total capacity of 6,900 students were commissioned during 2024–2025 (5 in the city of Kyzylorda, 2 in the Aral District, 1 in the Kazaly District, and 2 in the Zhanakorgan District).
To date, all ten schools have obtained licenses authorizing educational activities, and school principals have been appointed.
Work is currently underway to establish these educational institutions as "anchor educational organizations" across various disciplines (subjects) and to systematically disseminate their experience throughout the region.
Last year, projects such as "School of Linguistics," "Digital Anchor School," and "Inclusive Education Development Districts" were implemented.
The results of these projects have been consolidated and registered by the department in the State Register of Copyright-Protected Objects.
Specifically, 21 copyright certificates for 21 projects were obtained from the National Institute of Intellectual Property ("KazPatent") under the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The Education Department is implementing projects such as the "Specialized Artificial Intelligence School," "Cosmograd — Baikonur” and the “Keleshek Mektebi” (School of the Future) projects for 10 schools.
The primary goal is to establish the “Kyzylorda Ecosystem for the Development of Keleshek Schools.”
To this end, specific project-based educational profiles were developed for the schools, and copyright certificates were obtained from the National Institute of Intellectual Property (KazPatent) under the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 10 of these projects.
While previous projects adapted schools to only a single specific focus area, the formation of the “Kyzylorda Ecosystem for the Development of Keleshek Schools” unites the entire teaching staff of each school in collaborative, creative work centered on a unified direction.
Between 2022 and 2025, eight rural schools were re-equipped with interactive and modern classrooms to serve as resource centers, funded by the “Qazaqstan Halqyna” (For the People of Kazakhstan) Foundation.
In the 2025–2026 academic year, a joint project between the “Bilim-Innovation” International Public Foundation and the “Qazaqstan Halqyna” Foundation saw 58 schools in the region (50 general education schools and 8 small-scale schools) receive equipment worth 2.511 billion tenge. Additionally, 1,862 teachers from these schools underwent professional development training funded by the regional budget.
In total, 6,556 teachers completed professional development courses in 2025, and 6,088 teachers are undergoing such training in 2026.
Efforts are underway to integrate artificial intelligence into the education sector.
Currently, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan has provided access to the specialized “ChatGPT Edu” license for 5,077 teachers across 156 schools in the region. An additional 5,000 teachers were included in the program in September 2026. Access to the Wonk Labs artificial intelligence platform is being provided to 6,699 teachers from 144 schools not previously covered by the platform.
A total of 18,837 educators completed professional development training via the online course "The Educational Process and Artificial Intelligence: Generative Models and the Art of Prompt Engineering," developed by the "Orleu" National Center for Professional Development.
More than 20,000 educators completed the "USTAZGA-AI: Artificial Intelligence as a Teacher's Assistant" course, developed by the "DarynUstaz" professional development center.
In accordance with the Head of State's directive, the Ministry of Education has developed a pilot project to integrate artificial intelligence into the secondary education system. The first phase of the project includes 10 small-scale schools across the Kyzylorda and Pavlodar regions.
Schools from our region participating in the project include Schools No. 22, No. 58, and No. 227 in the Aral District; School No. 259 in the Kazaly District; and School No. 84 in the Shieli District.

Specifically, 15 educators earned the "Best Educator" title between 2022 and 2024, with another 4 teachers from the region receiving the honor in 2025. Each recipient was awarded a cash prize of 3 million tenge.
Seven educators won the national "Original Curriculum – 2025" competition, while the regional team took third place in the national "Mathematical Regatta – 2026" competition.
Seven educators placed in the national "Talented Teacher for Gifted Children – 2026" competition, and eight educators placed in the national "Festival of Pedagogical Ideas – 2026."
The regional "Best Secondary Education Institution" competition is held annually with the support of the regional governor (Akim). The winning institution traditionally receives a grant from the regional budget equivalent to 800 times the minimum wage.
Since 2024, it has become customary—in collaboration with the Kyzylorda Region Education Department and the regional trade union committee for education and science workers—to provide vouchers for sanatoriums in Kazakhstan to educators who win at the national stage of professional competitions. In 2025, 62 vouchers were awarded to competition winners.

To ensure food quality, meal inspection commissions—comprising parents and medical professionals—have been established in all educational institutions.
The school principal chairs the inspection commission.

In accordance with Order No. 598 of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan (dated October 31, 2018), the work of inspection commissions in secondary education institutions is overseen by nine regional, city, and district interdepartmental expert groups.
These expert groups include specialists from education and health departments, representatives from the regional branch of the National Center for Human Rights and the "Amanat" party, the Child Rights Representative for the Republic of Kazakhstan, and members of parent committees.
Additionally, single-meal service in 135 schools is organized using a hardware-software system, while 158 schools utilize the "Business Wallet" application.
