In the Karaganda region, it is believed that vocational guidance should begin at an early age. It is in these preschool years that the foundation for future professions is laid and a child's interest in certain areas arises.The Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has repeatedly noted that "early vocational guidance of children is of particular importance. The rising generation should consciously approach the choice of a future profession...".Each of us dreams of becoming a doctor or teacher in childhood, and with age, orientations change. To help a child determine his future profession, it is important to give him the opportunity to try himself in various fields as early as possible. This approach is used by the Saltanat kindergarten in Shakhtinsk, where the Special Science project has been implemented since 2021.- Lessons are held in the form of games. Children are explained through experiments and in an accessible language where rain comes from, what temperature is, how a compass works, - says Irina Oberderfer, director of the Saltanat kindergarten. – Children can test themselves as scientists in areas such as chemistry, biology, physics, engineers and researchers, which can be the first step in choosing a future profession.Since 2024, this project has been part of the “Special Science for Those Who Are Interested” program of the Karaganda region’s education development roadmap. 22 preschool organizations of the region have joined the project, and teachers from “Saltanat” have begun to conduct master classes and train their colleagues.The peculiarity of the program is continuity: cooperation with schools contributes to a gradual transition to in-depth study of science, and interaction with the Shakhtinsk Technological College helps in choosing a future profession.How are preschool children and an educational institution that trains technical specialists related? College teachers are conducting the “TechnoMalysh: Radio constructors for future engineers” project. Special children's radio constructors have been developed together with students.– These kits will help children aged 5–6 years old master the basics of electronics and programming in a playful way. Children can assemble simple electronic devices, such as radio receivers, and as they grow older, they move on to more complex projects, such as lamps, alarms, and smart home models, - explained Mikhail Pravosudov, chief expert of the Electronics Competence Center, a teacher of special subjects at the college.In addition, college teachers plan to create a coloring book and methodological recommendations for educators.- The main goal of the project is to develop children's technical skills from an early age, form technical thinking skills, and introduce them to modern technologies, - says Valentina Tarasova, deputy director of the college. - According to statistics, 26% of children have technical thinking skills. In order to get as many technical specialists as possible in the future, it is important for us to develop these skills at an early stage.The college has two competence centers - "Electronics" and "3D-modeling of computer games", as well as a student design bureau. Projects aimed at developing technical creativity and innovation are being implemented here, including the creation of an educational environment for students in grades 8–9.– We are creating a system of continuous vocational education "School-College-University-Employer", says Valentina Tarasova. – This year we are planning to summarize and summarize.Also, the college is developing a web platform for exchanging projects and interactive tools for programming, electronics and 3D modeling.All these initiatives have a common goal - to train future specialists working in the field of high technologies and engineering.

In our country, state control is carried out to protect consumer rights. Today, 47 technical regulations have been adopted within the EAEU, covering more than 85% of products in circulation. Approximately 15% of products in circulation are regulated at the national level. Zhanna Esenbekova, Chairman of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, reported on innovations in the field of technical regulation at the CCS.According to her, the main tasks of technical regulation include protecting consumers from products that harm the health and life of citizens, mechanisms for increasing the competitive advantages of Kazakhstani manufacturers. The implementation of tasks to ensure the safety and improve the quality of goods in the domestic market is carried out through: establishing product safety requirements in technical regulations, requirements for product quality and test methods in standards.At the same time, testing and certification of goods is carried out in laboratories."In 2024, amendments were made to 7 technical regulations to include new types of products on the market. For example, the terms “scented toy”, “soft toy”, “rattle” have been added to the technical regulations “On the safety of toys”. In addition, the use of natural wool and natural leather in toys for children under 3 years of age is not allowed,” the speaker said.The technical regulations for perfumery and cosmetic products have established previously non-existent requirements. For example, mandatory classification has been introduced regarding the use of cosmetics for children under 14 years of age. Also, in order to preserve the consumer properties of the product, the concept of “secondary packaging” for cosmetic products has been introduced. In order to prevent injuries to children, the development of technical regulations for sports equipment has begun in conjunction with the Ministry of Tourism and Sports. The technical regulations establish requirements for goals for football, mini-football, handball, and hockey.The development of technical regulations establishing requirements for coal is also being completed. The technical regulations include standards for the qualitative characteristics and grades of coal. In addition, legal bases have been established to protect the rights of the population when purchasing low-quality fuel.Source: https://ortcom.kz/kk/novosti/1738230346 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/927967

Standards play a major role in improving product quality. Currently, there are more than 75 thousand documents in the unified fund of regulatory documents. According to Zhanna Esenbekova, Chairman of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 137 standards were approved in 2024, 34 of which were developed at the initiative of business representatives.Standards are widely used in public procurement to improve the quality of purchased goods and the transparency of procedures. In order to expand sales markets for Kazakhstani manufacturers, measures are being taken to adapt standards to the requirements of exporting countries. "For example, on February 8, 2025, the developed Chinese standard for the production of dried mare's milk will come into force. As you know, products imported to the PRC market must comply with local standards, but to date there has been no such standard. A number of standards have been adopted aimed at improving the quality of life of the population and creating a barrier-free environment. For example, the national standard "Tourist services for people with special needs and groups of people with disabilities. General requirements" has been approved. The standard establishes requirements for ensuring barrier-free access to tourism infrastructure,” the speaker noted at the CCS site. Ramps, elevators and tactile devices will be installed in museums, parks, hotels, restaurants and transport hubs. Particular attention will be paid to the training of tourism workers: guides, administrators and drivers will master sign language skills, learn to provide first aid and accompany groups with reduced mobility.A standard has been adopted that regulates the use of unified graphic symbols to improve communication in crowded facilities, such as airports, transport and public spaces. The standard is aimed at creating comfortable conditions in crowded places to ensure clarity and universality of communication with visitors.All sectors of the economy are covered by standards. The National Standardization Plan approved for 2025 includes topical topics: artificial intelligence and information security, ecology, automation, non-ferrous metallurgy, inclusion, etc. p.Source: https://ortcom.kz/kk/novosti/1738233340 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/927976

State control in the field of technical regulation is one of the important mechanisms for consumers. In 2024, local departments conducted more than 8 thousand control activities. Violations were detected in 6152 cases, which is 74% of the total number of inspections. This was announced by Bauyrzhan Kasymov, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Technical Regulation and Metrology of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, at a press conference held at the CCS.According to him, 64% of the controls were carried out as preventive measures. At the same time, there was no need to visit the subject of control. Based on the results of the inspection, 790 cases of administrative offenses were initiated for an amount of more than 411 million tenge."In 2024, in all regions, together with the prosecutor's offices, inspection measures were carried out in relation to 2528 subjects under our jurisdiction. According to the results of the inspection, measuring instruments were compared and facts of non-compliance with inspection deadlines were identified. The total number of uninspected instruments is 13,595 units. Incorrect results of measuring important health indicators can lead to incorrect diagnoses. As a result, 68 inspection subjects were held liable. The fine amounted to 275 million tenge,” the speaker said.In 2024, a large-scale inspection was carried out on the websites of intermediaries for obtaining certificates for goods. A certificate of conformity or declaration of conformity is an official document confirming the safety of a product and its successful passage of tests. Advertising of “fast” certificates by unaccredited persons who do not have the right to assess conformity misleads consumers, violates the law, and these cases are often associated with the issuance of so-called “gray certificates”. Thus, 76 platforms were identified that promote the sale of gray certificates without accreditation. Among them, Satu.kz and OLX were warned about the need to block and remove advertisements for the sale of conformity assessment documents.In addition, the departments purchased a number of samples of products for sale for control, violations were identified in 90% of them.As a result of state control, a total of 55 emergency response measures were taken, including a ban on the sale of 48 goods and the seizure of 7 products worth more than 5 million tenge. For example, in Aktobe, a decree was issued to prohibit the purchase of 3.4 thousand meters of electrical cable products. Violators were fined.Source: https://ortcom.kz/kk/novosti/1738233865 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/927984

Work has begun on digitizing processes to reduce administrative barriers for entrepreneurs. This has made it possible to reduce the time for issuing documents and ensure transparency of processes. To date, more than 100 individual processes in the field of technical regulation and metrology have been digitized. This was announced by Zhanna Esenbekova, Chairwoman of the Technical Regulation and Metrology Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, at the CCS site.Also, the process of forming semi-annual lists of preventive control has been fully automated, which ensures transparency and eliminates corruption risks.Since 2024, the transition to digital copies of laboratories has begun, a full digital trace of their activities will help combat gray certification. Part of the accreditation entities has switched to a digital test protocol, and in 2025, there are plans to transfer all entities to it. “The main goals are transparency, reducing time costs for business entities, and maintaining a digital trace of accreditation entities. Today, Kazakhstan has an extensive accredited network of laboratories and certification centers. More than 1.7 thousand entities operate, including 1,054 testing laboratories and 70 certification centers for products and services. At the same time, in order to expand the access of Kazakhstani products to the markets of the Eurasian Economic Union countries, 30 testing laboratories of the Republic of Kazakhstan were included in the Unified Register in 2024,” the speaker said. To promptly resolve issues of protecting the internal market, a situational headquarters has been created and is operating, with the participation of the supervisory bodies under the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Atameken National Enterprise. According to a joint algorithm, product samples are taken, from which various activities are carried out: border control and sampling, and control over product testing on shelves.Since November 2024, mandatory requirements have been introduced for technological passages in the cargo compartments of vehicles. Information has been provided to carriers of livestock products and is being implemented through the joint efforts of border and veterinary control bodies. “As part of this work, 546 vehicles were returned, more than 310 thousand tons of livestock products were inspected. "1,000 conformity assessment documents issued in violation of the legislation have been invalidated," the department representative concluded.Source: https://ortcom.kz/kk/novosti/1738234398 Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/927991

A Pavlodar resident's health deteriorated sharply on the plane returning from a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia, and he developed an allergic reaction. He took an anti-flu drug and fell asleep. An hour later, he woke up with his face and mouth swollen.The flight attendant informed the passengers on the plane that a doctor was urgently needed. Zhannur Syrymov, a doctor from the Zhetysu region who was on the plane at that time, immediately began providing first aid to the patient.According to passenger Murat Imangazinov, at that time they were flying over the Kap Mountains."The crew decided that in case of an emergency, they would land the plane at one of the nearby airports. But Zhannur Maulenuly, saying that he was a professional in his field, delivered the plane safely. I would like to express my immense gratitude to the wonderful person who intervened in my life,” says Murat Imangazinov.Zhannur Syrymov currently works as the chief physician of the Koksu district hospital in Zhetysu region. During that trip, he was returning from a trip to Mecca, where he took his disabled father on a pilgrimage.“I never thought that I would provide medical assistance to a patient in an airplane. Since I always treated my father, I always kept a medicine box with me. After the flight attendant reported it, I immediately went to the sick man and saw that his eyes and face were swelling. In medical terms, this is called “Quincke’s edema.” If a person is not provided with medical assistance within 15-20 minutes, he may die. I immediately injected him with the drugs “Allergopress” and “Prednisolone”. Then I measured his blood pressure and put a tablet under his tongue. "I have also started building a system," said Zhannur Syrymov.Zhannur Maulenovich began his career in the medical field as a sanitary paramedic. Before his work in the Koksu district, he worked as the head of the kidney transplantology, urology and extracorporeal detoxification department at the Syzganov National Scientific Surgery Center in Almaty, and as the deputy head of the hospital in Taldykorgan.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/dsm/press/news/details/927803
