At the August conference of teachers held on August 22, 2025, the mayor of Shymkent Gabit Syzdykbekov announced a particularly important news. In accordance with the instructions of the Head of State, starting from the new academic year, the Presidential Residence in Shymkent will begin operating as a year-round camp for gifted children. This decision is of great importance not only for the education sector, but also for the policy of land relations and the effective use of state facilities in the city.

It is known that previously some of these large-scale facilities were left unused. In the current situation, the effective use of land and buildings for the benefit of society is one of the main directions of state policy. Dedicating the presidential residence to the development of the education of gifted children is a bright example of rational management of state property, not only strengthening the intellectual potential of the country.

The new camp will operate year-round, accepting 50–60 children per shift. It is planned that about 2,500 teenagers will undergo a special educational program annually. Olympiad winners, young inventors interested in scientific projects, and talented children with a penchant for culture and art will gather here. They will have classrooms, cultural and sports halls, a library, a medical center, comfortable dormitories, and an ecologically clean territory.

The significance of this decision is not limited to the situation created for children. Such a step in the field of land relations in the city is an example of rational decision-making . An expensive and modern building will not remain abandoned, but will again become a social project serving society. Previously, there were cases in different regions of the country when vacant buildings were given to schools, kindergartens or cultural centers. For example, in recent years, a number of unused facilities in Shymkent have been repurposed and turned into social infrastructure necessary for residents. This experience shows how important it is to effectively use state property.

The August conference was attended by more than 2,100 participants - Minister Gani Beisembayev, veteran teachers, school principals, university representatives, parents and community activists. The meeting focused on new challenges in the education sector, as well as the development of social projects through efficient land use.

The 2025–2026 academic year will begin in 1,352 educational institutions in Shymkent. More than 397,000 children are expected to study here. About 28,000 students will be admitted to the first grade alone. The city's rapid growth is increasing the demand for new schools and additional buildings. Therefore, the proper use of each land plot and facility is extremely important for the future of the city.

Today, six new educational facilities are being built in Shymkent, including two new schools, three additional buildings and one dormitory. In addition, about ten buildings are undergoing major repairs. This is a planned work aimed at improving the educational infrastructure of the city. However, the re-adaptation of the Presidential Residence as a camp is a special step, because it is not just a construction project, but a real demonstration of the effective use of an existing facility in terms of land relations .

If we look at past experience, such decisions have brought great benefits to society. For example, some administrative buildings have previously been converted into kindergartens or youth centers. This not only met social needs, but also allowed to save budget funds. The same approach is being used in Shymkent - the existing building will acquire a new meaning and serve the community.

According to Gabit Syzdykbekov, this initiative is the result of proper management of state property, along with care for young people. Every piece of land and facilities should not only bring profit, but also serve to educate generations.

In conclusion, the transformation of the Presidential Residence in Shymkent into a camp for gifted children is an investment in the future of the country. This step clearly demonstrates not only the state's care for young people, but also a rational policy in land relations. Such initiatives aimed at the interests of society will undoubtedly continue in the future, and the practice of effective use of state property will be strengthened.
