A meeting to explain the new Constitution was held at Shymkent School-Gymnasium No. 1. During the meeting, teachers and invited experts discussed innovations in the field of education, the introduction of new state institutions, and social guarantees that will become the basis of the updated Constitution of Kazakhstan.

The Preamble to the draft new Constitution for the first time declared human rights and freedoms as a top priority. Unity and solidarity, interethnic and interfaith harmony were defined as the foundations of Kazakhstan's statehood.
"We will first explain these changes to the staff, teachers will convey them to parents, and then to students. Everyone should know that they can exercise their rights, but they should also not forget about their responsibilities. In my opinion, the most important feature of the new Constitution is that all norms are directed towards the interests of the person. The person is the main capital of our state," said Anar Amankulova, director of the educational institution.
The meeting was attended by experts - Master of Laws, Senior Researcher at Miras University Makpal Mamayeva and Chairman of the Baitak Party Branch Altai Ordabekov.
Makpal Mamayeva touched upon the structure of the new Constitution and gave a detailed explanation. According to her, 84 percent of the previous Constitution adopted in 1995 has been amended. Among the main innovations are the reflection of the principles of "Just Kazakhstan", "Law and Order" in the Preamble, as well as the introduction of the "Miranda Principle". It was also noted that special attention was paid to education and science, culture and innovation, which became the core of the Basic Law.
Altay Ordabekov, referring to Articles 7 and 8 of the new Constitution, drew attention to the issue of environmental protection. According to him, this is a direct duty of the state and its responsibility to future generations. The institution of the family has also been strengthened, and the social bloc has been strengthened. The philosophy of the state has also changed, and a transition from the principle of "State and Man" to the principle of "Man - Law - State" is being implemented. This is a clear manifestation of the formation of a model of a state focused on the person.
The meeting discussed the right of every person to work and freely choose their occupation. Teachers asked questions that concerned them and received comprehensive answers. In addition, the language issue, the creation of a unicameral Parliament, the introduction of the Vice-President institution, the retirement procedure, and medical care were discussed.
Such meetings are not just a place to provide information, but also a platform for an open exchange of views. They increase the responsibility of each teacher for the future of the country and contribute to the formation of a legal culture in the younger generation.
The meeting concluded with a statement that the team supports the changes. For an educational institution where friendship and harmony have become values, the new Constitution is an important document that will guarantee stability and open up new opportunities.
