East Kazakhstan region actively implements the state youth policy, creating conditions for young people to get education, employment, social activity and personal development. Since young people aged 14 to 35 make up 24% of the region's population, these initiatives are of great importance. Let's consider the main directions and achievements in this area.One of the priorities of the state youth policy is to provide quality education to young people. There are 3 higher educational institutions and 36 colleges in the region, where 31,581 students study. These educational institutions offer a wide choice of humanitarian and technical specialties.Special attention is paid to foreign students. 275 students from 17 countries, including Russia, Mongolia, China and India, are studying at higher educational institutions in the region. This international exchange contributes to strengthening intercultural understanding and friendship.- Education is the basis of the future of the region. We understand that it is important not only to provide young people with education, but also to create opportunities for its application in life. In this context, our universities and colleges play an important role in training personnel who will contribute to the development of East Kazakhstan and the entire country, - noted the Deputy Akim of East Kazakhstan Region Yerbol Nurgaliyev.The "Serpin" project is one of the important initiatives aimed at training specialists needed in the region. Currently, 588 students are studying at three higher education institutions within the framework of this program. In the future, it is planned to revive the project, which will allow improving the quality of education and strengthening the labor mobility of young people.The unemployment rate among youth in East Kazakhstan Region is 3.7%, which is lower than the average for the republic. In 2024, more than 10,000 new jobs were created within the framework of the Regional Employment Map, 2,935 of which were opened by order of the Head of State. This will significantly contribute to improving the social situation of young people.In addition, 6,495 young people were employed within the framework of national projects aimed at youth employment, 4,130 of which were permanently employed. 2,345 young professionals were able to enter the workforce through subsidized jobs.The vocational training program also plays an important role. 326 people completed short-term courses and acquired in-demand skills.To support young people's business initiatives, 71 grants worth more than 100 million tenge were awarded. More than 2,000 young people were awarded educational grants within the framework of the "Qualified Professional" project, which has been implemented since 2017. 14 successful projects aimed at developing youth entrepreneurship were implemented within the framework of the "Zhas Project" program.Grants are provided for the development of their own business for young people from socially vulnerable groups. It is planned to allocate 216 grants for the total amount of 1,572,800 tenge.- The potential of the youth of East Kazakhstan is high. Every young person, regardless of their social status, should have the opportunity to realize their ideas. We create all conditions for this and support not only education, but also entrepreneurship and social initiatives, - said Yerbol Nurgaliyev.An important direction of youth policy is the active participation of young people in social life. A volunteer front office is operating in the region, which unites more than 2,000 volunteers. In addition, there are 14 youth resource centers that support the personal and professional development of young people, where 143 employees work.As part of the "Diploma to the Village" program, 133 loans were issued in the amount of 1,060.1 million tenge by January 1, 2025. This will provide significant support to young people who want to work in rural areas. In addition, wholesale benefits are provided in villages to stabilize youth and develop the local economy.In 2025, new jobs will be created within the framework of state programs and vocational training opportunities will be expanded. Within the framework of the regional employment map, it is planned to create 282 new jobs for young people.In the East Kazakhstan region, youth policy is based on a long-term development strategy. Support is not limited to education and employment, but is aimed at developing leadership qualities, volunteering, and entrepreneurial initiatives. These measures will allow for the formation of a new generation that can withstand modern challenges and actively participate in shaping its own future.As a successful example of implementing state youth policy, the East Kazakhstan region is unlocking the potential of young people and creating opportunities for their future.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimvko/press/news/details/947446

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 addition, psychological-pedagogical correctional offices have been opened in 9 districts. It is planned to open new such offices in Katonkaragay and Markakol districts in 2025.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/akimvko/press/news/details/945471

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
