Prosecutors Act to Ensure Education for Children Denied Schooling in Kazakhstan
In Semey City, Kazakhstan, a concerning situation has been uncovered involving several children denied access to education due to various reasons. The prosecutor's office has stepped in to ensure these children's rights are protected.
The 'Digital Family Map' project discovered four children not attending compulsory secondary education in the city. Among them was a 9-year-old boy with delayed psychological development, whose rights were violated as he was not assigned a disability status, preventing him from receiving the necessary educational support.
In another case, a family kept their three children, aged 8 to 13, out of school due to their parents' destructive religious beliefs. The prosecutor's intervention led to the boy being assessed at the Center for Mental Health to determine his educational path. His legal representative was held administratively responsible. Following this, all three children were assessed and enrolled in school, with their mother also held administratively responsible.
Meanwhile, Sherkhan Kalmurza has been appointed as the new rector of the Kazakh National University of Arts, receiving a draft education grant for the position.
