This is 15% more than last year. Such dynamics indicate a consistently high interest among young people in obtaining higher education in domestic universities.Akim of the region Kumar Aksakalov emphasized:“Behind every result is the work of a child and a teacher. We are obliged not only to evaluate it, but also to support it.”In this regard, the region is taking measures to create a favorable educational environment in the pre-examination period. Particular attention is paid to issues of motivating schoolchildren and their psychological support."It is very important that the child approaches the exam not with anxiety, but with confidence that there are adults nearby who will support him," the head of the region noted.A separate emphasis is also placed on ensuring safety during the UNT."The issue of safety and order at the UNT is our direct responsibility. And there can be no trifles here," Kumar Aksakalov added.The akims of cities and districts have been instructed to organize the delivery of graduates to the exam points. Together with the education, health care and police departments, medical workers, psychologists and law enforcement officers will be on duty at the testing sites.Summer recreation and employment of children is an important part of educational workThe next priority area is the organization of summer recreation and employment of schoolchildren. In his instructions, the President of the country has repeatedly emphasized the need to improve the quality of summer leisure, its accessibility and safety."Summer recreation is not just a vacation.

In particular, the preparation of documents for putting up for auction the Solnechny camp in the Mendykarinsky district is nearing completion. The Allur plant is a potential investor.“Once, camps were a place where children dreamed of spending the summer. We want to return this meaning to them,” the head of the region said.Safety issues remain a priority throughout the summer health campaign. This concerns both sanitary and epidemiological requirements and fire safety standards, protection of territories and personnel qualifications."The system should be built in such a way that any parent is confident that their child is safe," noted Kumar Aksakalov.As part of the Year of Working Professions, career guidance work will be strengthened in the camps. The summer leisure plan includes excursions to enterprises in the region, including the Industrial Zone of the regional center."When a child sees with his own eyes how modern production works, he develops an interest and a dream. This is more important than any lectures," the regional akim believes.It was instructed to establish interdepartmental cooperation with emergency situations, sanitary and epidemiological services, police and medical institutions. It is also planned to conduct information and educational work among parents and children to prevent accidents.A separate order was given to the akims of districts and cities - to complete the improvement of territories and equip playgrounds and sports grounds in places where cultural and leisure events will take place."Our common task is to organize a summer in which children will feel safe and involved in useful activities," Kumar Aksakalov emphasized.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/kostanay/press/news/details/994466?lang=kk

There are not enough places for people with disabilities to play sports in the Karaganda region. Residents addressed this problem at a personal meeting with the governor of the region, Ermaganbet Bulekpayev. To discuss the situation in more detail, the head of the region held a special meeting with representatives of government agencies and activists.At the meeting, the issues of the lack of adapted gyms, special equipment, and the lack of involvement of the fitness business in solving this social problem were raised.Currently, more than 5,000 people with disabilities are involved in sports in the region, 105 of them are members of the national team of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The regional specialized school has 430 students with disabilities of the musculoskeletal system, hearing and vision in 18 sports. But, as Ermaganbet Bulekpayev noted, this is not enough: the majority of those attending the sections are children under 18, while adults remain ignored."We must create conditions so that more people with disabilities can lead an active lifestyle,— Ermaganbet Bulekpayev emphasized. — I thank public organizations for their support, but it is important that entrepreneurs get involved, especially in the field of fitness and sports.According to the head of the sports department, Serik Sapiev, business as a whole is reluctant to make contact on this issue.Activists on behalf of athletes with disabilities appealed to the governor of the region with their initiative.— We do not have enough special equipment for training and places for sporting events, — said the representative of the initiative group, Kimbatbek Durlan. – In addition, there are no fitness equipment adapted for people with musculoskeletal disorders in the city. You can open a workshop for the production of exercise equipment. And create jobs specifically for people with disabilities.Ermaganbet Bulekpayev instructed the Governor of Karaganda, Meiram Kozhukhov, to consider the possibility of assistance in this matter.Niyaz Sunditaliev, a freelance adviser to the akim of the region on issues of people with disabilities, proposed creating a network of specialized gyms based on active longevity centers in order to temporarily solve the problem.Specific measures will be taken for each voiced proposal — Ermaganbet Bulekpayev stressed the importance of a systematic approach in addressing these issues.He also said that a project of a multifunctional sports complex is being developed, where people with disabilities will be able to practice various sports in one place.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/994021?lang=kk
