A high-level international meeting dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and the 25th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 "Women. Peace. Security" was held in Astana. These are the main international documents aimed at expanding women's rights and ensuring gender equality.The meeting was attended by heads of state bodies of Central Asian countries, Deputy Speaker of the Majilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan Daniya Espayeva, Chairperson of the Constitutional Court Elvira Azimova, Regional Director of the UN Women Office for Europe and Central Asia Belen Sanz Luque, and representatives of civil society.The Minister of Culture and Information of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Chairperson of the National Commission for Women's Affairs and Family and Demographic Policy under the President Aida Balayeva, speaking at the meeting, noted that since joining the Beijing Declaration in 1995, Kazakhstan has firmly adhered to the direction of forming a stable gender policy, combining national and international priorities.“This process is based, first of all, on a system of clearly established institutional mechanisms. In 2022, a large-scale constitutional reform initiated by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev restored the Constitutional Court and established the institution of the Ombudsman. I would like to emphasize the importance of these changes, because the strengthening of law enforcement institutions creates a reliable environment for promoting and protecting gender equality,” said Aida Balayeva.For this purpose, the National Commission on Women's Affairs and Family and Demographic Policy under the President of Kazakhstan is working. In addition, by the Decree of the Head of State, an advisory institute on gender issues was established under the heads of regions in 2023. The main state body responsible for the formation and implementation of gender policy in Kazakhstan is the Ministry of Culture and Information. A special committee operates within the ministry.Belén Sanz Luque, Regional Director of the UN Women Office for Europe and Central Asia, highly appreciated the gender policy of Kazakhstan and the countries of Central Asia. She noted the positive change and expressed confidence that the goals of the Beijing Declaration will be fully implemented in the world.“I am pleased with the achievements you have made in expanding the rights of women and girls in the country. We are working to ensure that all women and girls are free, have opportunities and rights. "We highly appreciate your achievements within the framework of agreements agreed at the intergovernmental level," said Belén Sanz Luque.The Beijing Declaration was adopted in 1995 at the Fourth World Conference on Women. The document set out strategic actions in 12 key areas to empower women and girls. Resolution 1325 "Women. Peace. Security" was adopted in 2000 and is aimed at ensuring that women make effective decisions on issues of peace and security.

Among them are the 30th anniversary of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan, the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, the 30th anniversary of the Constitution, and the Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions. In addition, the 180th anniversary of Abai Kunanbayuly, the 190th anniversary of Shokan Ualikhanov, the 100th anniversary of Nurgisa Tlendiev and other anniversaries of prominent figures will be celebrated.In addition to the above-mentioned anniversary and important events, there is a task to hold the anniversaries of famous personalities at a high level.“A comprehensive plan has been approved for these events. However, the work to be carried out should not be formal. The essence and content of each event should be deep, the lessons learned,” said Aida Balayeva.Large-scale events are planned within the framework of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory. Also, the online platform “Tribute to the Heroes” will be launched. The portal contains information on the names of about 1 million Kazakhstani soldiers, as well as personal documents and photographs.Aida Balayeva also noted the need to pay close attention to the issue of digitization of the industry. Digitization is a platform for new opportunities in the field of culture and information.The ministry considers digitization as one of the main tasks for preserving and making cultural heritage accessible. The “E-museum” web portal will be launched, creating a virtual network of museums in Kazakhstan. This project will provide online access to historical and cultural heritage using 3D modeling technology.Current issues related to the film industry are also constantly in the spotlight. One of them is the development of “Kazakhfilm”. According to the law signed by the President, now at least 30% of state funding will be directed to “Kazakhfilm”.“What I would like to emphasize here is that every penny allocated from the state is accounted for and requested. Therefore, these funds will be allocated only to worthy works that have passed the examination,” said Aida Balayeva.In 2024, for the first time, priority topics that correspond to our national interests and ideology were approved, and a new format of competition was held. Last year, 16 national films were released, and in 2025, 14 new films will be released.In addition, special attention is being paid to the animation industry. In 2025, 10 animation projects will be created, and the production of Kazakh cartoons for children will increase.The quality of TV series is also improving. In 2024, 41 series were produced and broadcast under state orders.The ministry also pays attention to the issue of exporting national films and series abroad and plans to launch a national streaming platform.In addition, work is underway to strengthen the legislation on issuing distribution certificates depending on the content of domestic and foreign films released for cinema distribution.Work will continue to gradually improve the film industry.Today, more than 58 thousand people work in about 8 thousand cultural organizations in the general field of culture. Last year, about 3 million spectators attended about 16 thousand events held in theaters, and more than 2 million people participated in events organized in museums.At the same time, the minister said that attention should also be paid to the content of commercial events held in cultural organizations.“Because the sacred stage is a place of taste and learning. That is why we must all treat it responsibly, without diminishing the dignity of noble art. Cultural centers should be free from political slogans and slogans and create conditions for true art to spread its wings,” said Aida Balayeva.In addition, the minister noted that responsibility should be strengthened to prevent facts of causing discord within the country and inciting religious and interethnic hatred. Currently, there are about 4 thousand registered religious associations representing 18 confessions in the country. Therefore, it is appropriate to work together in this area to solve the spiritual problems of society.Also, grant support for ethno-cultural associations contributes to the development of interethnic harmony and unity. Aida Balayeva said that it is necessary to work out the legal framework for this issue.A new law "On Mass Media" was adopted to combat false information and increase the security of the information space. Last year, more than 67 thousand facts of violation of the law were identified on online platforms, and more than 18 thousand materials were deleted. The Ministry has taken up the organization of training courses for journalists on improving their skills, increasing media literacy, and fact-checking.In 2025, the Central Asian Media Forum will be held, where topical issues of the media industry will be discussed.Another important direction is the development of creative industries. The Head of State recently signed a law on the support and development of creative industries. Now the Creative Industries Development Fund will begin its work. Creative hubs are opening in each region. Today, 12 creative centers operate across the republic, and 8 more are planned to be opened in 2025.The ministry continues to modernize the infrastructure in the field of culture. In 2024, 255 repairs and 45 construction works related to cultural facilities were completed in the regions of the country.Repairs are underway at the National Museum, the Mukhtar Auezov Drama Theater, the Natalia Sats Theater and other cultural facilities.In conclusion, the minister called on all industry specialists, public councils and journalists to actively participate in the implementation of large-scale plans for 2025.“Strengthening the unity of the people and the sustainable development of our country are a common interest for all of us. So, let's continue to work together towards a common goal,” said Aida Balayeva.

He noted that the content of secondary education has been revised, and the values ​​​​included in the "Integrated Education" program have been included in the new draft of the Unified State Curriculum."Education is closely related to upbringing. On the instructions of the Head of State, the "Integrated Education" program, which includes six main projects aimed at forming and strengthening the value system in the younger generation, has been introduced in all educational organizations. The effectiveness of this work largely depends on class teachers. Therefore, it is important that it is carried out by qualified teachers with extensive experience. "Taking into account the conceptual foundations of the educational program, it is necessary to fundamentally reconsider the attitude of teachers to classroom management," said Gani Beisembayev.The head of the department noted that our country has formed its own national system for assessing the quality of education. The Kazakh assessment tool of the BMQM has been recognized internationally by the RCEC Research and Certification Center, thus becoming the only country in Central Asia to have been accredited under the education quality assessment system."The ministry has revised the paradigm of professional development as a process of continuous professional development of a teacher.

In particular, in the city of Semey, the involvement of teachers in functions that were not theirs led to a tragic situation. I call on the leadership of the regions to take all necessary measures to strictly comply with the law," said Gani Beisembayev.More than 7 thousand state schools operate in our country. Starting from 2023, the project "1000 Leaders of Changes in Education" is being implemented to train managers of a new format. 583 candidates have already been accepted into the republican personnel reserve.Ensuring the safety of children remains the main task of the ministry. In 2024, amendments were made to the law that strengthen responsibility for violence against minors and are aimed at supporting the family. The powers of the Committee on the Rights of the Child have also been expanded. In January of this year, Kazakhstan's reforms in this area were highly appreciated by the UN. “We will continue to develop inclusive and special education. We plan to ensure 100% access to psychological and pedagogical support by 2025. The transformation of the National Scientific and Practical Center “Bobek” and the National Center for Inclusive Education has begun. In October, Kazakhstan will host the World Congress on Inclusion for the first time,” the head of the department noted.To reduce the gap in the quality of education, the “Rural School - Quality Platform” project is being implemented between urban and rural schools. It is aimed at modernizing the material and technical base, providing high-speed Internet, and improving the quality of teaching.“2024 was an important milestone for the educational infrastructure. For the first time in the history of independence, a record number of schools were built. In 2023, 165 schools were put into operation, in 2024, 257 schools were built, 105 of which were built within the framework of the “Cozy School” national project. For their effective management, the Ministry has developed a unified system,” Gani Beisembayev noted.Digitalization and automation of processes are an important part of the modern educational environment. The Ministry has launched the “SMART EDUCATION” project. It creates a unified ecosystem of digital education, improves the quality of education, and facilitates access to educational resources and services for all participants in the educational process.The share of schools with high-quality Internet access due to the introduction of Starlink terminals has increased from 19% in 2022 to 95% in 2024, that is, by 3 times.“Since the beginning of the year, we have begun to distribute voucher financing for preschool organizations to the regions. The heads of education departments must create conditions for the timely and high-quality introduction of voucher financing in the regions. "Integration with the national education database will ensure a rapid transition to a new funding model," the minister said.In his Address to the People of Kazakhstan, the Head of State set the task of transforming technical and vocational education. Since last year, the ministry, together with the akimats, has been conducting a full inventory of colleges. Taking into account all industrial projects and employment maps of the region, profile areas for training personnel have been identified.In conclusion, the minister focused on working with citizens' applications.

Minister of Education Gani Beisembayev wrote about this on his official pages on social networks. The photo exhibition shows sincere respect and gratitude to teachers who make an immeasurable contribution to the development of our country."The work of a teacher is the foundation of the country's development, the core of the upbringing of generations. Every teacher in our country should learn from these individuals who set a high example of professionalism and honesty. Being a teacher is not only about educating, but also about laying the foundation for the future of the country, educating the generation, inspiring, and sowing the seeds of morality," the minister said in his note. In the history of our country, the names of nine teachers who were awarded the highest state award, the title of Hero of Labor, are known.

On February 5, a meeting was held in the city of Turkestan on new approaches to rural development, including the issue of unifying two large-scale projects - "Aul Amanat" and "Aul - El Besighin". The event was held as part of a working visit to the region chaired by Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan K. Bozumbayev. During the visit, a delegation consisting of representatives of central government bodies, regional akimats and entrepreneurs visited the "Turkestan" SEC industrial park and got acquainted with the products of the "Aul Amanat" project and the experience of building a small industrial zone. During the meeting, Vice Minister of National Economy Bauyrzhan Omarbekov made a report, spoke about the work done under the "Aul - El Besighin" and "Aul Amanat" projects, and proposed new approaches to the integrated development of rural areas. In recent years, the state has invested significant resources in rural development. 701 billion tenge was allocated for the development of rural infrastructure within the framework of the "Aul - El Besighin" project. Thanks to this, 6.6 thousand projects were implemented in 2.6 thousand villages (including 774 projects in the field of housing and communal services, more than 2 thousand social infrastructure projects and 3.8 thousand transport infrastructure projects).Also, within the framework of the "Aul Amanaty" project, 17 thousand soft microloans were provided for an amount of more than 100 billion tenge. This allowed creating more than 17 thousand jobs, 400 agricultural cooperatives, 337 of which were financed for 7.1 billion tenge.In this regard, Bauyrzhan Omarbekov noted that the consolidation of projects will allow to synchronize their implementation, strengthen infrastructure support, use funds more efficiently, and ensure the integrated development of rural areas.The screening system, which determines the priority areas and development potential of each settlement, plays an important role in this process. For example, if livestock farming is developed in the region, the main focus will be on supporting and developing meat and dairy production, including product processing, creating cooperatives and logistics centers.If the village has preserved the tradition of gardening and vegetable growing, priority will be given to developing agricultural cooperation, processing products (juice, jam, jam, preserves, etc.), creating greenhouses, and logistics. Thus, screening will not only identify villages in need of support, but also allow each village to develop an independent development strategy so that the investment is most effective.In addition, the criteria for assessing the development of rural settlements will be revised, increasing the share of the economic factor. This will allow other villages to be covered by the program.It is also necessary to reconsider the reallocation of funds within the framework of the "Auyl Amanaty" project. Priority will be given to projects that provide for the creation of cooperatives, processing, and the development of non-agricultural activities that ensure the entire production cycle from cultivation to sale.The plan includes the introduction of new tools of state support, such as training entrepreneurs, creating small industrial zones, providing engineering infrastructure for "Aul Amanaty" facilities, developing cooperation, supporting processing and creating a logistics supply chain."As a result of the measures taken, new jobs will be created, infrastructure will be modernized, local employment and entrepreneurial activity will increase, as well as state support will be strengthened. This will create additional opportunities for the sustainable development of villages," the vice minister said.It is planned to implement new mechanisms and methods of integrating projects in the Turkestan region as part of a pilot project. It will subsequently be expanded to other regions. Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/economy/press/news/details/932211
