Human capital development is a strategic direction of state activity 17.02.2026
A meeting was held at Miras University in Shymkent to explain the content of the New Constitution. The event was attended by the university's faculty and students, who discussed the meaning and significance of the new norms in the Constitution. The meeting was chaired by PhD, Associate Professor Gulzada Shinet. In her speech, she noted that the definition of human capital in the Constitution as a strategic direction of the state marks a new stage in the development of society. "At the present stage, the main resource of the economy is not natural wealth, but educated and qualified people. The fact that the Constitution gives priority to education and science, as well as professional competence, indicates that the state adheres to a long-term development strategy," he said. At the meeting, PhD, senior lecturer Mira Bekebayeva focused on the impact of new norms on the labor market. According to her, prioritizing human capital will be the basis for qualitative changes in labor relations. "Competitiveness is now measured not only by the volume of production, but also by the professional level of a specialist. Therefore, investing in education is a guarantee of the country's sustainable economic development," he said. Candidate of Legal Sciences, senior lecturer Nurzhan Zhaksylykov explained the direct connection between the legal norms in the Constitution and the daily lives of citizens. — Constitutional amendments are not an abstract concept. A citizen's access to education, professional development, and the ability to protect their rights are determined within the framework of this document. Therefore, a deep understanding of the new norms is important for every citizen, - said N. Zhaksylykov. During the meeting, the participants exchanged views on the development of the education system, the professional development of young people, and the improvement of legal culture. Students and teachers asked questions of interest to them and received informative answers. According to the organizers, such explanatory meetings contribute to increasing the legal literacy of citizens and a deeper understanding of the essence of constitutional reform. According to the results of the meeting, all participants expressed support for the new Constitution.
"The principle of social justice has been strengthened": The New Constitution was explained in Shymkent 17.02.2026
Information and explanatory work continues in Shymkent to explain the content of the New Constitution. In this regard, Alfarabi Mynbay, Deputy Chairman of the city branch of the "Auyl" party, held a meeting with the labor collective of "Rakhat-Shymkent" LLP. During the meeting, the speaker compared the main changes in the current Constitution and the updated version, explaining the essence and significance of the reform through specific examples. According to Alfarabi Mynbay, one of the main features of the New Constitution is the increased opportunity for citizens to directly participate in the decision-making process. — The Constitution is the cornerstone of the state's development. The updated Constitution is a concrete response to the people's demands. It has raised the relationship between the state and society to a new level. The role of the referendum institution has increased, which means that the mechanism for each citizen to influence the future of the country has strengthened, he said. It was also noted that the Constitution clearly states that land and natural resources belong to the people. According to the Speaker, this norm will establish the principle of fair distribution of national wealth and serve as a basis for strengthening social justice. The meeting also focused on the establishment of the Constitutional Court. As mentioned, citizens will now have the opportunity to directly appeal to the Constitutional Court if they believe their rights have been violated. This will strengthen the concrete mechanisms of the rule of law. The new Constitution also strengthens the principle of balance between the branches of power. The role of Parliament has increased, and some of the deputies of the Majilis will be elected through single-mandate districts. This will strengthen the connection between the people and the deputies and allow for open discussion of regional issues. During the meeting, factory workers asked a number of questions regarding labor rights protection, social guarantees, and the local government system. The Speaker answered each question comprehensively, emphasizing that the norms of the New Constitution are directly related to the daily lives of citizens. — The new Constitution is not just a legal document, it is the fundamental law that affects the quality of life of every citizen. Your labor rights and social protection are defined by this document, — said A. Mynbay. At the end of the meeting, which took place in a free exchange of opinions, the production team expressed their opinions on the content of the reform and expressed their support for the new Constitution.
Measles cases are on the rise in Almaty: children are at the highest risk. 17.02.2026
*482 cases of measles have been registered in Almaty since the beginning of 2026* The measles epidemiological situation in Almaty remains unstable, and the majority of cases are unvaccinated children. Asel Kalykova, Deputy Head of the Almaty Department of Sanitary and Epidemiological Control, spoke about the current epidemiological situation and preventive measures at a press conference at the Regional Communications Service. According to her, the increase in cases began in November 2025, when 30 cases were registered, and by December, their number had increased to 142. Since the beginning of 2026, the increase has continued, and to date, 482 confirmed cases of measles have been recorded. "We see that the vast majority of those infected are children who have not been vaccinated against measles. This directly impacts the spread of the infection and the development of outbreaks. This is why the issue of vaccination is especially pressing today," noted Asel Kalykova. Of the total number of confirmed cases, 451 are children under 14 years of age, which is 93.5%. Adolescents make up 0.4%, and adults - 6.01%. The incidence rate per 100,000 population reached 19.8. The highest number of cases was registered in the Alatau district - 197, Nauryzbay - 110, Bostandyk - 45, Auezov - 39, Almaly - 32, Turksib - 24, Zhetysu - 20, and Medeu - 15 cases. "Among those infected, 87.9% were not vaccinated against measles. The main reasons are vaccination refusal, medical contraindications, and not reaching the vaccination age. These factors create a vulnerable population group," the speaker emphasized. Thirty-four cases of measles were registered among vaccinated individuals, 33 of whom had incomplete vaccination courses and only one who was fully vaccinated. The largest proportion of cases were among children aged 1 to 4 years and infants under one year. By age group, the disease was most frequently detected among children from unorganized settings (72.1%), followed by children from organized settings, schoolchildren, military personnel, unemployed adults, and students. Anti-epidemic measures have been implemented in all infection foci. 4,154 contacts have been identified and are being monitored during the incubation period. 706 contacts have been vaccinated against measles, rubella, and mumps according to epidemic indications. Filters have been introduced in kindergartens and schools, classroom learning has been temporarily suspended, mass gatherings have been restricted, and unvaccinated contacts of children have been separated. "Vaccination remains the only effective way to protect against measles and its complications. Each dose of the vaccine strengthens the child's immunity and reduces the risk of severe illness. We urge parents to be responsible about vaccinations," said Asel Kalykova. In Almaty, catch-up immunization of children under 18 who have not previously been vaccinated against measles continues. Additional vaccinations are also being administered to children aged 6 to 10 months and 29 days. From December 2025 to February 2026, 1,720 infants were covered, representing 16.1% of those eligible. Since the beginning of the year, 4,200 children and adolescents have been vaccinated against measles. Routine vaccinations are administered twice—at 1 year and 6 years of age—at vaccination clinics in local outpatient clinics. Experts emphasize that adherence to the vaccination schedule helps develop stable post-vaccination immunity and prevent further spread of infection.
