Schools set for opening in the upcoming school year
In Astana, the capital city of Kazakhstan, plans are underway for the commissioning of new schools this academic year. According to Jenis Kasymbek, who shared these plans on his Instagram page, 15 more schools are expected to be opened.
Last academic year, the city saw the construction of 24 schools, creating a total of 66,000 student places with a two-shift system. Among these, 16 schools were designated as "comfortable" schools. This year, seven more "comfortable" schools are set to join the ranks, although the exact locations and specific details are yet to be disclosed.
The new schools this academic year will aim to address overcrowding issues in four schools and seven overcrowded educational institutions. Four schools with a three-shift system will also have their overcrowding problems addressed. However, the specific schools involved have not been identified.
The new schools are expected to accommodate 28,000 students, providing much-needed relief from overcrowding in the city's educational institutions.
Meanwhile, Kazakh students have made the nation proud by winning five medals at the physics Olympiad in France.
In addition to these initiatives, there are ongoing efforts to introduce innovative educational methods in Astana. For instance, Tomorrow School, an AI-focused peer-to-peer school, is one such initiative. The UNICEF Volunteer School launched at Coventry University in Astana is another example of forward-thinking education. Further, a special centre for mastering artificial intelligence is planned to be launched soon.
Despite these exciting developments, the exact number of new schools planned to open in Astana this academic year, and which ones will be classified as "comfortable" schools, remains unspecified based on the available data.
