2025 is a year of special significance for our country in the preservation, development and support of national cultural heritage. This is an important milestone for all our compatriots, as we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan. This unique public institution plays an important role in strengthening interethnic harmony and uniting different ethnic groups into a single community of the people of Kazakhstan.The Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan has become the main organization in the development of the principle "The people of Kazakhstan are one nation". One of the important regions in this regard is East Kazakhstan. Our region is a vivid example of the prosperity of multi-ethnic culture in conditions of peace and harmony. In 1992, the first House of Friendship in the country was opened in the East region. Since then, East Kazakhstan has been a leading region in the creation of ethnocultural associations and Houses of Friendship.Today, cultural, scientific and other projects of great social importance are being implemented in the House of Friendship. Among them are the first ethno-village, the “Friendship Caravan” project, the Language School, and the Museum of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan. These initiatives contribute not only to the promotion of the native culture of different ethnic groups, but also to the formation of an effective platform for interethnic interaction.The House of Friendship of East Kazakhstan plays a special role in strengthening the stability and unity of the people of the region. For more than thirty years, this institution has become a unique center that allows representatives of different ethnic groups to unite for a common goal and work for the good of the country. In recent years, the House of Friendship has become an important platform for young people, local communities, and non-governmental organizations, creating favorable conditions for public meetings, exchanges of views, and the implementation of social and cultural projects.The successful work of public structures in the Assembly is a clear proof of our words. Today, 115 Elders' Councils, 114 Mothers' Councils, the Mediation Center, and the “Assembly Youth” organization are actively operating in the region. These structures are expanding interaction at the local level and contributing to strengthening social stability and harmony.Supporting the good initiatives of youth is one of the priorities of the Houses of Friendship. In 2022, the Youth Coworking Center was opened at the East Kazakhstan Regional House of Friendship. This center has become a platform for civil activists, non-governmental organizations and youth associations to implement creative and social projects.In addition, the Youth Theater of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan is operating. It features performances by adolescents from large families and children from orphanages. The “Hospitable Family” project, which has been implemented since 2023, is aimed at adapting children to the Kazakh language environment. This initiative not only provides children with the opportunity to use the Kazakh language in everyday life, but also introduces them to national culture more deeply, and also strengthens interethnic relations.Special attention is paid to the preservation and development of the Kazakh language. Last year, 25 Kazakh language clubs called “Come, Let's Talk” were opened on the basis of 11 language schools in the region. Their goal is to improve the ability to speak fluently in Kazakh. In addition, 74 Kazakh language training centers operate in villages, and in the future it is planned to increase their number to 100.In addition, the “Small School Assembly” project is being implemented in the region. This initiative covers 64 schools in the region and contributes to establishing interethnic dialogue among students. The “School Mediation Service”, launched in 2019, currently operates in 174 schools, helping to peacefully resolve disputes between teenagers and strengthen social unity.In the framework of the 30th anniversary of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan, one of the main tasks is to upgrade the material and technical base of Friendship Houses and support ethnocultural associations. Additional funding allocated for raising salaries, holding various events, and improving infrastructure will allow the activities of the Friendship Houses to reach a new level.The role of the Friendship Houses in maintaining stability in the country and forming different ethnic groups as a single nation is unique. Today, it is especially important to form a public identity, promote the ideology of patriotism and respect for ethnic diversity.For 30 years, the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan has led our country to great achievements, laid the foundation for strengthening interethnic harmony and increasing our well-being. The projects and initiatives implemented on the basis of the Friendship Houses are helping each ethnic group find its place and creating conditions for the development of Kazakhstan as a multicultural, single nation.Nurymbet SAKTAGANOV,Akim of East Kazakhstan RegionSource : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimvko/press/news/details/948839

According to the Law "On Advertising", it is prohibited to advertise bookmakers and totalizators through the mass media. Advertising of bookmakers is allowed only in mass media that are registered with the authorized body and specialize in sports. In addition, advertising of bookmakers and totalizators is not allowed in sports sections or programs on TV channels.In this regard, as a result of the analysis conducted, it was determined that advertising of bookmakers was illegally placed on the website www.nur.kz (Internet Portal Nur LLP). The case was referred to court on this fact, and the Specialized Interdistrict Court for Administrative Offenses of Astana confirmed that the portal violated the law. In February 2025, an appeal was considered, and the original court decision remained unchanged.The Ministry considers this case as a legal precedent and warns that administrative measures will be taken against mass media outlets that have committed such violations. It also continues to monitor the implementation of legislation in the field of advertising and calls on all advertisers to comply with the current requirements.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/tsm/press/news/details/948752

This year, it is planned to open about 1,500 new places in kindergartens in the East Kazakhstan region. The regional akimat discussed the implementation of the regional roadmap for the national report "Quality Education Accessible to Every Child."The main topics are the opening of new places in kindergartens and schools, the development of inclusive and additional education, as well as the modernization of school infrastructure.According to Inessa Chernysheva, the head of the East Kazakhstan Region Education Department, last year 1,970 new places were opened in the region, and in 2025 it is planned to add another 1,499 places, 127 of which are already ready. However, the number of children waiting for kindergarten in the region is much higher - about 2,000 children aged 2-3.- For the convenience of parents, we are introducing the "Kindergarten" digital platform, where you can register and put children in the queue. A digital child development map has also been introduced into the educational process. 10 qualification centers have been opened to train teachers. In March, we will launch a pilot project on voucher financing in Ust-Kamenogorsk, - said Inessa Aleksandrovna.There are 343 schools in the region, most of which are small-sized. There are no emergency or three-shift schools, but the shortage of places exceeds 6 thousand. In 2024, a new school for 600 places was opened in Ust-Kamenogorsk, and this year two more schools for 500 places are planned to be built. In addition, the construction of five comfortable schools for 2,100 places has been completed, and the construction of two schools for 900 places is ongoing.The school infrastructure is also being upgraded. Canteens, libraries and classrooms have been renovated in 50 schools. All schools are connected to the Internet, and 109 schools will be included in the "Social Wallet" system. This initiative will allow low-income families to receive state support for the purchase of school uniforms and school supplies.In the 2023-2024 academic year, 2.6 billion tenge was attracted from sponsors to the education sector. This year, 21 schools in the region will undergo major repairs. In total, about 5 billion tenge will be needed to modernize the schools.As part of the Year of Working Professions, "Future Specialists" specialized training centers will begin to open in regional schools from September 2024. These centers will be created in accordance with the personnel needs of each district.Regional akim Nurymbet Saktaganov noted that there are accumulated problems in the education sector in the region and called on the management to organize the work effectively. He also said that the issue of discipline in schools should not be ignored.- The effectiveness of the work of directors is assessed not only by the results of the UNT, but also by how organized and disciplined the children are. If we do not pay attention to coordinating work in this area, it is difficult to talk about raising a worthy generation, - said the regional akim.Another topical issue is the development of inclusive education. More than 12 thousand children with special educational needs live in the region. They are served by 4 psychological-medical-pedagogical counseling centers and 5 special kindergartens.

In the East Kazakhstan Region, the prosecutor's office and the drug crime countermeasures department are conducting extensive work to identify and suppress drug trafficking. As a result, 17 criminal cases have been registered in Ust-Kamenogorsk since the beginning of the year, 7 cases have been sent to court, 10 people have been convicted, more than 6 kilograms of synthetic drugs and 78 kg of marijuana have been confiscated.This was announced today by Sergey Uporov, senior prosecutor of the Ust-Kamenogorsk city prosecutor's office, at a meeting with students at the Ust-Kamenogorsk Polytechnic College.According to Yermek Askarov, head of the department of the Regional Youth Resource Center, which organized the event, "No way to drug abuse!" As part of the republican campaign, volunteers from the regional front office, together with representatives of the regional prosecutor's office and specialists from the Department for Combating Drug Crimes of the Police Department, removed more than 100 graffiti advertising drug addiction and carried out explanatory work.During the event, explanatory work was carried out on responsibility for drug crimes and information was provided on how young people are drawn into crime.- Since the beginning of last year, the regional prosecutor's office, together with the Department for Combating Drug Crimes, has suspended the work of more than 100 drug websites. Also, measures are being taken to identify people involved in drug transportation and distribution, drug warehouse owners, those hiding drug packaging, and leaders of organized criminal groups. In addition, raids are being carried out in each district of the city against drug advertising. Work in this direction will continue in the future, - said Senior Prosecutor Sergey Uporov.According to official data, more than 18 thousand drug addicts are registered in Kazakhstan, but the actual number may reach 150 thousand. According to the prosecutor's office, today 900 people are registered with a drug addiction diagnosis in Ust-Kamenogorsk, including 36 minors.Everyone knows the harm of drugs, but despite this, the number of drug addicts is increasing every year.– Drugs are a very dangerous poison that completely destroys the body. Addiction can sometimes occur after just one use. The causes of death among drug addicts are HIV, hepatitis, stroke, heart failure, liver and kidney failure. At first, drugs can give a person a false sense of alertness. But soon serious consequences such as lethargy, depression, muscle cramps, insomnia, and complete weakening of the body appear. To get rid of these symptoms, a person uses drugs again, thus falling into the trap of addiction. Children of drug addicts are often born with physical and mental defects. Currently, more than 1,300 drug addicts are registered in the region. Of these, 900 people are in Ust-Kamenogorsk. In addition to medical treatment, drug addicts are provided with psychological assistance. This helps them return to a normal life, - noted Zoya Vladimirovna, a narcologist at the Mental Health Center.According to world statistics, only one in 10 drug addicts successfully undergoes rehabilitation. According to experts, synthetic drugs are dozens of times more dangerous than heroin. On average, their users do not live more than five years.Illegal possession and distribution of drugs is punishable by imprisonment for a period of 5 to 10 years and confiscation of property.In the case of distribution in public places, the punishment includes imprisonment for a period of 10 to 15 years. If drugs are distributed as part of a criminal group, in educational institutions or sold to minors, a term of imprisonment of 15 to 20 years or life imprisonment is imposed.The people most often involved in drug crimes are young people aged 18 to 35. The Prosecutor General's Office's "No Drug Addiction" project is being implemented in the country. This project is aimed at conducting preventive measures among young people, identifying resources for selling drugs online, removing graffiti advertising prohibited substances, and other measures.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimvko/press/news/details/945601
