Astana's tally of comfortable schools is set to hit 24, as per Genis Kasymbek's declaration.
In an exciting announcement reported by Vechernyaya Astana, the city, now known as Nur-Sultan, is set to open 15 new schools in the upcoming academic year. This news comes as part of a larger focus on the construction of social facilities, including schools, in the city.
Akim of Astana, Jenis Kasymbek, shared this development on his Instagram account, highlighting the ongoing commitment to improving education infrastructure. Among these new schools, 7 will be built as part of the national project "Comfortable School".
The construction of Comfortable Schools is a city-wide endeavour, with these modern facilities being built in all districts of Nur-Sultan. Last academic year, a record number of educational institutions were built in the city, with 24 schools commissioned, including 16 Comfortable Schools.
These Comfortable Schools are designed to cater to a total of 66,000 students in two shifts. Specifically, 24 schools will provide places for 66,000 students, while the 7 Comfortable Schools will accommodate 28,000 students. This move is significant as it aims to solve the problem of overcrowding in 4 schools with three-shift education and 7 overcrowded schools.
While exact numbers for this academic year's new schools and student capacity are not yet specified, the "Keleshek Mektepteri" (Schools of the Future) project envisions 217 new schools nationwide, with 128 already built. However, the specific details for Astana are not provided.
The Head of State has given instructions for the construction of Comfortable Schools in Astana, and the construction progress of these schools has been inspected by Jenis Kasymbek, Roman Sklyar, and Ganymbek Beisembayev.
As the new academic year approaches, the city of Nur-Sultan continues to invest in its future, ensuring a comfortable and conducive learning environment for its students.
The Akim of Astana, Jenis Kasymbek, announced on his Instagram account that among the 15 new schools opening in Nur-Sultan this academic year, seven will be part of the national project "Comfortable School," focusing on education infrastructure improvement.
