On December 8-9 of this year, the First Republican Forum of Student Assemblies was held, dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the Assembly of the People of Kazakhstan. The event was attended by Akim of Kostanay region Kumar Aksakalov, Deputy Chairman of the Assembly of People of Kazakhstan Marat Azilkhanov, representatives of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, leaders of the organization "Assembly of Zhastars", heads of student assemblies of universities and colleges of the country. The Forum has become a platform for sharing experiences and promoting new opportunities for the student community, as well as for strengthening unity and harmony among students. To date, more than 100 student assemblies have been established in Kazakhstan at universities and colleges, which actively participate in the activities of the Zhastary Assembly organization and contribute to the formation of future leaders of the country. In Kostanay region, young people receive comprehensive support: real conditions are created for their development and self-realization. Following the instructions of the Head of State, over the past three years, 27 educational facilities, 35 sports facilities, 37 health facilities, 6 cultural facilities have been built in the region, more than 4,000 jobs have been created, and housing has been commissioned in 15,000 apartments. Government programs on preferential housing purchase are being implemented to support young people. Since 2022, the Kostanai Zhastary program has been in operation, for which about 6 billion tenge has been allocated — thanks to it, 344 families of working youth celebrated housewarming. Otbasy Bank will continue to issue preferential loans in the amount of 1 billion tenge allocated this year. Additional education for young people is provided by open Higher Schools of mechanical engineering, metallurgy and mining, economics and construction, energy and information systems. Already, 55-70% of workers in new industries are young people under the age of 35, and this trend will only intensify in the future. Akim of the region Kumar Aksakalov noted: "The future of Kazakhstan is in the hands of talented and patriotic youth. We must create all the conditions for their energy, creativity and desire for development to benefit society and find practical implementation." The first Republican Forum of Student Assemblies in Kostanay provided participants with valuable experience, new knowledge and motivation for further work in the student community, and also became an incentive to strengthen student government throughout the country.
