The resident of Astana Hub, the Kazakh startup CodiPlay, specializing in innovative solutions in the field of education, was noted by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kazakhstan Olzhas Bektenov. He instructed the Ministry of Education, together with local executive bodies, to introduce CodiPlay developments in schools in Kazakhstan.

CodiPlay already covers more than 450 educational institutions in 10 countries, including the United Kingdom, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Azerbaijan. By the end of 2024, 10 educational organizations in the Turkestan region will connect to the CodiPlay ecosystem, and by 2025 it is planned to expand this practice to another 60 schools, including institutions in Aktobe and Karaganda regions.
"We are grateful for the high assessment, the introduction of CodiPlay in Kazakhstani schools will significantly improve the quality of education and prepare our students for the challenges of the digital world," said Zhanadil Taldybayev, head of the CodiPlay project. "Our goal is to give children not only knowledge, but also skills that will help them compete successfully in the international arena."
The project was approved by the I. Altynsarin National Academy of Education, and one of the company's products, Coditeach, was recognized by UNICEF as a Digital Public Good, which provides additional opportunities to enter international markets.
The launch of CodiPlay in Kazakhstani schools represents a significant step forward in education, providing students with knowledge to adapt to the digital world. The introduction of such programs will allow students not only to assimilate the material, but also to apply it in practice, thereby creating a competitive educational environment in the country.
