How is the education system changing in Kazakhstan: new schools"It is the duty of the state to create favorable conditions for the education of every child, regardless of their place of residence." Large-scale state programs implemented in recent years contribute to this.Construction of new schools in the country is proceeding at an unprecedented pace. According to the instructions of the head of state, this year, for the fourth year in a row, about 1,000 rural schools are being modernized. This allows not only to improve learning conditions for children, but also to reduce the gap in the quality of education between urban and rural schools.In the last three years, the material and technical base of more than 4,000 schools has been updated. More than 2,000 educational institutions have opened modern classrooms for robotics, chemistry, biology, physics and STEM. If we consider only the results of 2024, 1621 subject classrooms were equipped in 967 schools. Work in this direction is still ongoing, by 2029 it is planned to open at least 7,000 modern subject classrooms in schools of the country.Another important factor in improving the quality of education is the introduction of digital technologies. As part of national initiatives, 100% of school textbooks have been digitized, and access to high-speed Internet has improved significantly in 95.2% of schools. Educational platforms are being introduced, elements of artificial intelligence are being integrated into the educational process. All these measures are aimed at preparing students for the challenges of the future and forming digital skills in them from an early age.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/aktobe-ekonomika/press/news/details/964797?lang=kk

NU Researchers Develop Innovative Material for MicroelectronicsNew ultra-flexible conductive polymers have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency of miniature electronic devices, from smartwatches to medical sensors.A team of researchers at Nazarbayev University (NU) has pioneered a novel template-free synthesis method for synthesizing multifunctional three-dimensional polymers. This breakthrough enables the development of various porous composite materials, opening new possibilities for high-performance energy storage systems, sensors, and other cutting-edge technologies.According to Professor Nurxat Nuraje, the project's lead researcher, this newly developed material will allow the creation of compact and highly efficient energy storage devices: «Micro-energy storage solutions are critical for the future of wearable electronics. Our polymers outperform traditional materials and c and provide a scalable, cost-effective solution for miniaturized energy storage applications that could be produced right here in Kazakhstan».The new material is ideal for wearable gadgets such as smart bracelets, biosensors, and other devices requiring flexibility and deformation resistance. It maintains its properties even when bent or twisted, making it an attractive solution for modern compact electronics.Researcher Guldana Zhigerbayeva explained the unique properties of the material:«As a materials science engineer, my goal is to develop scalable methods that serve as a universal platform for smart material development. The key advantage of our new technology is its versatility and simplicity. Unlike existing methods for synthesizing porous polymers, our approach does not require additional techniques, crosslinking agents, or dielectrics. This significantly simplifies the process and reduces production costs. Our developments are already being used in flexible energy storage, gas sensors, and hydrogen generation systems, proving the effectiveness of this method. The scalability of the synthesis also makes industrial application possible».The work of the Kazakhstani research team in the field of polymer nanocomposites is an important step towards the creation of efficient flexible energy storage devices and materials of the future. Currently, the team is applying their novel synthesis method to develop other composite polymers used in hydrogen production, water purification, sensor technology, and various renewable energy and environmental protection projects. Their research was published in the prestigious Scientific Reports, part of the Nature Portfolio.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/sci/press/news/details/964753?lang=kk
