The Minister of Education met with teaching staff, heads and representatives of private school associations at the site of the First Republican Conference of Private Secondary Education Organizations.
Addressing the participants of the conference, Gani Beisembayev noted that the state actively supports the development of educational organizations, regardless of their forms of ownership. For example, this year alone, 161 billion tenge has been allocated from the budget to private schools with more than 250 thousand children.
"Another important step will be a new bill initiated by the Government in the Mazhilis on providing social assistance to children from socially vulnerable families studying in private schools as part of a state educational order. Children from private schools will also be able to receive assistance for the purchase of necessary school supplies at the expense of the Universal Education fund and will be provided with free hot meals. This highlights the government's support for the private sector. The main task of educational organizations, regardless of their forms of ownership, is the formation of high—quality human capital of the country. Every child should receive a high—quality education and develop in safe and comfortable conditions," the minister said.
Today, there are more than 8 thousand schools in the country with a contingent of 3.9 million children. Thanks to the significant support of the state, the number of private schools has increased 3 times over the past three years, amounting to more than 800 – more than 250 thousand children are enrolled in them.
