Meetings with labor collectives of various sectors on the interpretation of the new Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan continue in Shymkent. The next meeting of the working group with representatives of the pedagogical community was held at the D. Kunayev comprehensive secondary school. The meeting widely discussed issues of improving the quality of education, introducing unified educational standards, and state support for science. This educational institution, which opened in early 2024, is now becoming a model for the effective implementation of business social responsibility. The founder of the school, a deputy of the city maslikhat of the VII and VIII convocations, Laziz Sulaimanov, noted that the private education sector should prioritize quality first and foremost. – The school for 2,500 students has all the conditions for receiving quality education. The educational process is conducted in one shift, two free meals are organized, more than 50 clubs operate. Special attention is paid to personnel policy: teachers undergo a strict commission selection. Close ties with the parent association allow for the formation of an effective educational environment. These principles are consistent with the priorities set out in the new Constitution, – said L. Sulaimanov. Bakhadyr Narymbetov, chairman of the city maslikhat and member of the Constitutional Commission, spoke about the systematic changes in the education sector. According to him, today 46 percent of the city's schools and almost 90 percent of kindergartens belong to the private sector. – The new Constitution provides for the introduction of a single standard of education for all educational institutions of the country, regardless of their form of ownership. This will allow reducing the quality gap in preschool and secondary educational institutions, – said B. Narymbetov. Attention was also drawn to the additions made to Article 33 of the new Constitution. According to this norm, the development of science, innovations, and education becomes one of the priority areas of state activity. – The main strength of Kazakhstan is its highly intellectual human capital. In an era of rapid development of artificial intelligence and digital technologies, the consolidation of science at the constitutional level paves the way for systematic support and targeted financing of innovative projects, – the chairman of the maslikhat noted. At the end of the meeting, the participants expressed their support for the new document, expressing their common opinion that the introduction of new education standards and the development of scientific potential will not only strengthen the internal stability of the country, but also contribute to increasing the prestige of Kazakhstan in the international intellectual space.

A meeting was held with the labor collective of Standard Cement LLP to explain the content of the Constitutional reform. During the meeting, the employees were comprehensively briefed on the innovations introduced into the Constitution and their significance in the life of society was explained. The meeting was attended by Batyrbek Zhalmurzayev, Deputy Chairman of the Council of Elders under the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan, as well as Nurzhan Zhaksylykov and Makpal Mamayeva, lecturers of the Law Sector of Miras University, who focused on the main areas of constitutional changes. During the meeting, speakers noted that the main thrust of the new Constitutional draft is to preserve the unity of the country and strengthen social harmony. – The preamble to the updated Constitution clearly states that Kazakhstan is a unified, independent state, and human rights and freedoms are declared as the highest values of the state. This is an important step that will increase trust between the authorities and society and put the interests of citizens first, – the speakers said. Legal scholar Nurzhan Zhaksylykov said that the Constitution is not just a legal document, but a strategic framework that guides the country's long-term development. According to him, the new draft pays special attention to issues of freedom of speech, creative freedom, and protection of intellectual property rights. "These norms will be a real guarantee of citizens' free expression of ideas, the development of science and culture, and the protection of copyright and intellectual work. A just society is formed where the rule of law is strengthened," he said. In turn, Makpal Mamayeva established an open dialogue with the labor collective and answered the questions of the workers. She noted that constitutional reforms directly affect the daily life of every citizen, and increasing legal literacy is the basis for the sustainable development of society. At the end of the meeting, the participants expressed their full support for the new Constitution, stating that it is an important document aimed at strengthening the unity and stability of the country.

A roundtable discussion on the topic "Science, Education and Creativity - the Strategic Basis of Constitutional Development" was held at the Uzbekali Zhanibekov South Kazakhstan Pedagogical University. The meeting, dedicated to explaining the content and main directions of the new Constitution, became a platform for an open exchange of views between teachers and students. During the event, Kairat Anarbayev, Director of the University's Department of Educational Work and Youth Affairs, spoke extensively about the priorities of the New Constitution. He paid special attention to the issue of human potential development and assessed the identification of education and science as a strategic direction as an important step. – The pillar of the state's development is high-quality education and competitive science. The new Constitution places special emphasis on the development of human capital. This is a decision that is in the long-term national interest, – said the speaker. Kairat Anarbayev, comparing the norms of the previous and new Constitutions, touched upon the changes related to state education standards. According to him, the new version clearly defines the secular nature of the education system. This strengthens the legal framework that ensures the neutrality of the education sector from religious beliefs. The meeting also discussed significant changes in other sections of the Constitution. It was noted that the relationship between religion and the state has been defined in a clear legal framework and the principle of creating a secular society has been established. It was also noted that all legislative acts to be adopted will be systematized in accordance with the requirements of the New Constitution. Special attention was also paid to legal relations in the field of education. According to the speaker, relations between teachers and students, parents and educational organizations should be regulated within the framework of the law. This will not only improve the quality of education, but also contribute to strengthening mutual responsibility. At the roundtable, university lecturers Madi Besbayev and Gaziza Marina spoke, explaining individual articles of the Constitution. They highlighted the importance of norms related to the protection of human rights, the principle of secularism, and freedom of science and creativity, and answered students' questions. At the end of the meeting, the participants came to a common opinion that the free development of science and creativity is directly related to the strength of the constitutional foundation. It was noted that only when the rule of law is established, there will be a wide path to freedom of thought, research, and innovation. Participants expressed their support for the New Constitution, emphasizing that it is a strategic document aimed at increasing the country's intellectual potential, and noted that prioritizing science and education is a key factor determining the long-term development direction of the state.

The new Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan aims to redefine the content and priorities of state policy and reconsider the philosophical foundations of the legal system. The content of the document clearly reflects the differences between the old and new principles. In the old version, the state was given priority, and the principle of "man for the state" was promoted. The main guarantees were often limited to vague statements, and the obligations were declarative in nature. Citizen participation was limited only to electoral mechanisms, implemented occasionally. The principle of balance was not fully observed in the issue of property protection. The general approach was formed in a neutral manner, typical of the 1990s. In the new version, the priority has changed radically, and the principle of "the state is for the person" has been taken as the basis. Human rights have been supplemented by the absolute right to life, and norms such as the "Miranda Rule" and the right to digital privacy have been introduced. This is aimed at strengthening the level of legal protection of citizens through specific mechanisms. In addition, mechanisms for citizen participation have been expanded and the principle of permanent dialogue has been established. In this direction, the People's Council and feedback tools play an important role. In social policy, priority is given to the development of human capital, ecology, and assistance to those in need. In the economic sphere, the principles of social responsibility of business and fair distribution of benefits were defined. In the issue of identity, the principles of relying on the heritage of the Great Steppe and responsible patriotism were taken as the basis. Thus, the philosophy of the new Constitution establishes the protection of human rights, active participation of citizens, social justice, and the strengthening of national values as its main orientations.

The new Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan has established important norms aimed at strengthening the secular nature of the state and protecting traditional values at the legal level. These changes will ensure stability in society, protect the rights and freedoms of citizens, and clearly define the basic principles of state policy. The new Constitution clearly establishes the separation of religion and state. This norm stipulates that the state is based on secular principles and that the activities of religious associations are carried out within the framework of the law. This principle is aimed at maintaining interfaith harmony in society and respecting the freedom of conscience of every citizen. In addition, the secular nature of education and upbringing is enshrined at the constitutional level. This norm indicates that the education system is implemented in accordance with secular principles and equality and accessibility are ensured in the field of education. The Constitution will include a provision stating that marriage is a voluntary and equal union between a man and a woman. This provision is an important step towards strengthening the legal basis of the family institution and protecting traditional values at the highest legal level. Thus, the new norms enshrined in the Constitution strengthen the secular principles of the state, serve to protect the institution of the family, and ensure stability and legal order in society.
