Örken East Kazakhstan Regional Scientific and Methodological Center for Informatization and Education Development of Education Administration of East Kazakhstan region hosted an unusual lesson to address the criminal responsibility of minors. The event was held in a new format, teaming up the efforts of the educators of the Center and Tatyana V. Karpova, a senior operative officer of Criminal Police Administration of Police Department of East Kazakhstan region.

The lesson was organized in order to inform students about the legal bases of criminal responsibility for criminal offenses and provide real-life examples to highlight the consequences of rash acts.  

Tatyana V. Karpova shared her professional experience, explaining the age of criminal responsibility in Kazakhstan (16 years old, or 14 for serious crimes), the measures applied to minors, and how the law aims to rehabilitate young offenders, not just punish them.   

The organizers from the Örken Center stressed that this format — combining theoretical knowledge and practical insights from an expert — helps foster legal awareness and a sense of responsibility among young people. The lesson’s key output: understanding the law and its consequences is not just a school subject, but a vital life skill.  

The event became a vivid example of how modern education can be both informative and engaging.
