Corruption is a challenge that humanity has faced for centuries. Today, in the context of globalization, its consequences are becoming especially noticeable, as corruption slows down the development of society, reduces trust in government institutions and threatens economic stability. The State is systematically working to eradicate this phenomenon, focusing on prevention, improving legislation and forming an anti-corruption culture.Digital technologies are actively used in the prevention of corruption to minimize the human factor, which reduces corruption risks. Today, more than 93% of public services in Kazakhstan are available in electronic format, and remote monitoring mechanisms make it possible to quickly identify violations. Administrative barriers and all kinds of red tape are perceived as extortion or abuse of official authority. Our task is to develop a convenient and transparent system for providing public services that meets modern expectations of citizens. Such comprehensive measures create conditions for eliminating direct interaction when receiving services, reducing risks, and ultimately minimizing corruption by ensuring the quality of service for citizens.The rotation of civil servants has become another tool for preventing corruption. This mechanism helps not only to reduce the risks of offenses, but also to prevent professional burnout, increasing the efficiency of the state apparatus. In addition, since 2019, political responsibility of managers for corrupt actions of subordinates has been introduced. In 2024, a change was introduced in which the appointment of employees to another political position does not exempt them from the obligation to resign for corruption by subordinates at their previous place of work.In order to strengthen control over the expenditure of public funds, a project is being implemented and scaled up to introduce a "money coloring" mechanism for budget disbursement. This mechanism is implemented on the digital tenge platform and is an important tool for ensuring transparency and minimizing corruption risks when spending funds. It allows you to track the use of budget money at all stages — from allocation to full development. Each tenge receives a unique digital tag, which eliminates the possibility of theft and promotes the rational use of the budget.The improvement of legislation remains a key element of the anti-corruption policy. In recent years, strict regulations have been introduced in Kazakhstan: a ban on gifts for civil servants, increased financial control through universal declaration, and tougher sanctions for corruption crimes. Those convicted of such crimes are prohibited from holding public office, and citizens who report corruption receive significant rewards. Measures have been taken to protect the labor rights of citizens who reported corruption from unjustified dismissaThe improvement of legislation remains a key element of the anti-corruption policy.

Measures have been taken to protect the labor rights of citizens who reported corruption from unjustified dismissal. Among the new measures is a ban on visits to gambling establishments and participation in gambling for government employees. These measures increase trust in the state and encourage citizens to actively fight corruption.Prevention plays an important role. Corruption risk analyses are actively conducted in the region. In 2024, more than 600 legal and organizational risks were eliminated, as well as 80 cases of conflicts of interest. Due to transparency and strict control, these changes have become part of the daily work of government agencies.One of the important achievements was the strengthening of interaction between society and the state. The concept of a "Hearing State" in Kostanay region is implemented through the media, social networks, open meetings and events with citizens.

Regular events are held with civil servants aimed at raising awareness of the norms of legislation on civil service, anti-corruption and the Code of ethics. Live broadcasts are organized with the heads of government agencies, where issues of combating corruption and informing citizens are discussed. We pay attention to working with young people to form an anti-corruption culture from an early age. ActionActions such as the "Hour of Integrity" are held annually, which reach thousands of students and schoolchildren. The curricula include topics on honesty and fairness. Volunteer movements are actively developing to help identify corruption risks and prevent offenses.Under my chairmanship, the meetings of the Anti-Corruption Commission, with the participation of law enforcement agencies and the public, address issues and problems in areas particularly vulnerable to corruption.In the future, it is planned to expSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/918055

The state aims to increase the prestige of working professions in society, to carry out career guidance work with young people. It is important that school graduates realize the importance of working professions and choose them for their future careers. It is also important to assist in the employment of young personnel in working professions. There are 24 colleges in the region, of which 13 specialize in training workers. Of the 11,000 students, 3.8 thousand are enrolled in professional professions. Our colleges are equipped with modern equipment, which allows us to provide high-quality education and practical skills for students. Today, there is a need in the labor market for such sought-after professions as machine operators, engineers, electricians, turners, builders and welders. To solve this problem, an additional 105 grants will be allocated for working specialties in colleges, which will increase their total number to 1,742. For dual education, enrollment will grow from 2.6 thousand to 3 thousand students. Under this program, colleges cooperate with more than 300 enterprises, and 1,000 contracts have been signed.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/sko/press/news/details/917902

You can learn what it means to live in complete darkness, without a visual reference, at the Karaganda regional specialized boarding school No. 1. To help students adapt and socialize, the staff of the educational institution creates many interesting projects.112 visually impaired children study at boarding school No. 1. The necessary conditions for obtaining knowledge, treatment and rehabilitation have been created here, as well as an accessible environment.The Dark Room project attracts special attention. What is it? This is not only a space, but also a real experimental quest where everything happens in complete darkness. Visitors complete tasks relying solely on their hearing, touch, taste, and sense of smell. The room is divided into six zones, each of which offers an unusual challenge: to cross the bridge with an orientation cane, to get a child to school without the aid of vision, to set the table for the second person, to shop in the supermarket, focusing on the smells.– The "Dark room" helps not only children with visual impairment to discover their abilities, but also allows sighted people to better understand the difficulties faced by people with vision problems. This is an indispensable experience for teachers, speech pathologists and parents," said instructor Ekaterina Abisheva.Why is this important? Each visitor, plunging into absolute darkness, gets the opportunity to test their strength in unusual conditions, better understand the world of blind people and acquire new skills.The project also serves as a training platform for students of speech pathology who are preparing to work with visually impaired children.In addition to the "Dark Room", the school has created a photo booth "The Pride of the school" in the form of a strong branching tree, the fruits of which– photos of graduates. And they opened a Museum of great people who changed the world, created to expand the space of social adaptation and increase the motivation of students.The exhibition tells about blind people who have left their mark on history – the journalist Joseph Pulitzer, after whom the prestigious prize is named, the outstanding writer Helen Adams Keller, the world's only blind climber who conquered Mount Everest, Eric Weichenmaier and the blind athlete Marla Runyan, who twice participated in the Olympic Games, and others. The materials are available in three languages and adapted for people with visual impairments (Braille, QR codes with audio excerpts).– The students of our school are talented, and each of them, coming to this museum, will choose for himself the person he would like to look up to, – says the school's director Aiman Tlegenova. – After all, once all these people were just students, but they became recognized and great.Boarding school projects not only help children adapt, but also change the attitude of society towards people with visual impairments.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/917113
