The university also cooperates with industrial partners such as KAZ Minerals, Samruk-Energo and Alageum Electric, offering students internships and practice opportunities at real enterprises. Special attention is paid to the “Industrial PhD” program and dual education aimed at solving industrial problems.Zhadyra Konyrbayeva spoke about the experience of EKSTU in implementing the national model of engineering education aimed at reducing the “gap” between real production and academic training. She noted the importance of training engineers in universities closely linked to industry. The university adheres to the principles of the European system and incorporates elements of the practice-oriented American education system, combining best practices to train competitive specialists. The basis of the East Kazakhstan University approach is the CDIO model, which is aimed at combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills.“The implementation of the model in our university is carried out through projects such as project management and network engineering schools, engineering education leaders, Fab Lab, and academic and research priority centers. An important aspect is the strengthening of physical and mathematical training and the introduction of disciplines with elements of the theory of solving inventive problems,” Zhadyra Tusikhanovna noted.The speaker also noted the Lu Ban workshop, equipped with a Chinese partner for more than a million dollars.The workshop is equipped with modern equipment from Chinese manufacturers, where 400 students from 8 countries are studying.Konyrbayeva noted the importance of introducing new programs such as "Smart Technologies and Artificial Intelligence in Automotive Engineering", as well as the creation of a center for certification of engineering personnel, which will contribute to improving the quality of education and its compliance with the requirements of the labor market.As part of the integration of academic education with industry, 25 academic and research priority centers have been created on the basis of the country's leading universities. From September 1, 2024, training for "industrial PhD" began on the basis of 8 universities in collaboration with large companies such as "Kazminsk" and "Kazchrome". This direction is designed to train highly qualified specialists to introduce innovations into the industry.Thus, Kazakhstan is actively developing its engineering education system, making efforts to train specialists in demand for local and international labor markets.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/sci/press/news/details/926910

The Karaganda team contributed to the team's success. According to the results of the selection, four representatives of the Karaganda team "Yunost-Gratsia" entered the team: a defender and three forwards.The championship was held from January 20 to 26. After returning home, the girls spoke about their sports career at a meeting at the Karaganda Arena ice palace.This is the third world championship for forward Anna Klimova. She previously played for the national team in Bulgaria and the Netherlands. She started playing hockey at the age of 8 and has been doing it for 9 years.The 10th grade student of gymnasium No. 3 admits that it is difficult to combine hockey with studies. When you are on a constant journey, you have to master the program yourself to keep up with your classmates.– A lot is being done to develop hockey. Favorable conditions are being created for training. We are making progress. I think that everything is enough to become a champion, – believes Anna Klimova. – Participating in the World Championship is an invaluable experience. The games in Riga were very interesting. I hope to get into the national team next year.Boyzhetken has one goal and one assist on his account.– Preparation for the competitions in Latvia was very important. Training camps were held in Ust-Kamenogorsk, then in Riga. The first match was against the Great Britain team. I think we were not fully focused, which is why we lost. We had to make a little effort. But we managed to defeat New Zealand, Chinese Taipei, the Netherlands and Latvia, – said defender Kalima Nigmatulina.According to Boyzhetken, she chose hockey because it is a great and fast sport. She has been doing it for five years. She is used to the burden: the weight of the uniform is about 30 kilograms.Kalima does not agree with the opinion that women's hockey is more difficult than men's hockey.- We are not allowed to use force. Fighting is allowed. I think it looks rougher than men's hockey. But it is also interesting, - says the hockey player.Alina Zhakulina and Renata Livshits from Karaganda also became silver medalists of the World Championship.- We watched all the games of our girls. The competition was very interesting. We barely missed the first place. In general, we played decently, - said Vasily Popov, senior coach of the Yunost-Gratsia team. - I have been coaching the women's team for eight years in a row. It is much easier to work with the girls, they play very carefully, they are responsible. But from the first day you have to strictly monitor discipline and rigor. The task is only to advance."Yunost-Gratsiya" is aimed at winning the Kazakhstan Championship. The third round of the national championship will be held in Karaganda from February 10 to 16. Teams from Astana, Almaty and Ust-Kamenogorsk will participate in the game.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/karaganda/press/news/details/926916

Within the framework of the instructions of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Aktobe region has begun to intensify work on attracting investments for the development of the economy, infrastructure and implementation of social projects.The main focus will be on attracting private and foreign investments, creating favorable conditions for business and supporting innovative projects.Regional akim Askhat Shakharov held a meeting on the implementation of the instructions given by the President at the expanded meeting of the Government on January 28 of this year. The meeting, which was attended by city and district akims, heads of departments, discussed priority areas of work on increasing the volume of investments. They noted that the decline in investment activity requires taking urgent measures and coordinating actions between state bodies, development institutions and the business community.“The main focus will be on attracting investments. Only by increasing the tax base of the region can we solve the social problems of the population. It is important that all responsible structures actively participate in the work. In order to avoid misunderstandings, clear explanations will be given on taxation issues and other aspects. In addition, if we want to boost the economy, we need to develop all areas, including tourism. We have specific tasks ahead of us, for each of which a specific implementation plan will be developed,” the regional governor said.It should be noted that in 2024, the volume of investments in the Aktobe region amounted to 901.1 billion tenge. The decrease in investments is due to the completion of a number of large projects for the modernization of production and equipment, as well as a reduction in the volume of oil and gas production.In 2025, it is planned to implement 10 investment projects worth about 500 billion tenge in the region, which will allow creating about 1.2 thousand jobs. These initiatives are aimed at developing industry, energy and infrastructure, which should contribute to improving the economic situation in the region.During the meeting, the head of the region emphasized that the work of the investment headquarters will be reviewed to strengthen the investment potential of the region, and interaction with the Kazakh Invest, Aktobe SEC and specialized departments will be intensified. Special priority is given to supporting large projects that contribute to expanding the tax base and creating new jobs.The participants also discussed mechanisms for increasing the region's investment attractiveness, including facilitating the issuance of technical conditions, developing a logistics hub at the Aliya Moldagulova International Airport, and conducting explanatory work among businesses on taxation and state support.The regional akim noted that responsibility for achieving investment indicators lies with all leaders, and work will be evaluated based on specific results. The country's government supports the region, but the successful implementation of the tasks set requires active and coordinated interaction of all stakeholders."The work of each leader is given a specific assessment. In this regard, the government is already taking strict measures. The President of the country said that he relies on officials who are not afraid to take responsibility. The leader must make decisions and follow them through to the end.

The Minister of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kanat Sharlapayev, gave an interview to the Jibek Joly TV channel on the topic of construction and providing the population with affordable housing.First of all, the Minister focused on the main indicators in the field of housing construction. "By the end of 2023, we will have commissioned 17.8 million square meters of housing, which is 2.5 million square meters ahead of the pre-election program plan. This is 16% higher than the annual plan of 15.3 million square meters. By the end of 2024, the surplus will be 3.5 million square meters of housing," he said.The indicators were achieved through additional support tools, the allocation of 272 billion tenge for the purchase of 17.3 thousand apartments through the Samruk-Kazyna Fund, and the launch of the new Nauryz mortgage program.Kanat Sharlapayev said that the main task for 2025 is not to slow down the pace of construction. The government will make efforts to maintain the growth rate of housing construction. This plan will be achieved through the continuation of the Nauryz mortgage program, the construction and purchase of credit and rental housing, and the provision of new territories with engineering and communication infrastructure.The Minister shared information about state programs aimed at improving the living conditions of citizens, including subsidizing rents and providing preferential mortgage loans. For example, 7,746 loans for 202.7 billion tenge were issued under the Nauryz program.In addition, Kanat Sharlapayev touched upon the topic of the right to privatize rental housing. This right will apply to about 71 thousand citizens belonging to socially vulnerable groups of the population. To date, about 400 apartments have been privatized. “This will prevent the eternal rental cycle. The price factor is important, because housing is purchased at residual value,” he added.The Minister focused on the phased digitalization of the construction industry. Currently, more than 90% of master plans and detailed layouts have been digitized and brought into the regulatory framework in the E-Qurylys system. It allows to significantly simplify the interaction of various parties, from designers and developers to state bodies.The social facilities of the city were also mentioned separately. The Minister noted that in Kazakhstan, the self-awareness of city residents is increasing, which will help ensure the protection of these facilities.

Currently, the packaging industry is one of the main directions that form the infrastructure of a market economy. The development of this industry is closely related to the growth of raw material production in mechanical engineering, food and chemical industries, trade, transport and other sectors.In order to provide the Kazakhstani market with a sufficient volume of packaging products, it is planned to implement several projects with a total investment of more than 90 billion tenge in the next two years. According to the Directorate for Monitoring and Analysis of Project Implementation of the Kazakhstan Industry and Export Center "QazIndustry", this will create about 1,500 jobs.In particular, it is planned to launch five production facilities for the production of cardboard packaging of various shapes and sizes with a total area of ​​37 million square meters.Three enterprises will start producing 315 million pieces of paper and polypropylene bags per year.In addition, it is planned to launch the production of thermoforming, polyethylene and stretch film with a total weight of 4.9 thousand tons.It is expected that an enterprise with an annual production capacity of 2 billion aluminum cans and lids will be launched.Two projects are being implemented to produce 240 million polypropylene cups for dairy products and 324 million Pure-Pak packaging for liquid products. For enterprises in this direction, it is planned to launch the production of paints for flexible packaging with a capacity of 5,400 tons per year.In addition, it is planned to produce 5 million egg cartons per year. An enterprise will be launched to produce 220 million bottles per year for the production of glass containers.Two new enterprises will produce more than 150 thousand tons of packages.In the field of plastic packaging, it is planned to produce 1.2 million bottles, canisters, trigger containers, jars and other polyethylene packaging annually.When the above-mentioned enterprises reach their full design capacity, the volume of production will amount to about 100 billion tenge in financial terms. A quarter of it is planned to be exported.It should be noted that previously projects were implemented to produce corrugated paper packaging, big bags, thermo-shrink and stretch film, stone paper packaging, and polyethylene bags.Thus, the packaging materials industry in Kazakhstan is developing along with the production of consumer goods, which allows the consumer to receive high-quality packaging of domestic products and deliver the goods on time.To attract investments to the industry, support is provided at the republican and local levels in the form of investment preferences, preferential lending conditions, and tax breaks within the framework of special economic zones.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mps/press/news/details/926646
