To increase the coverage of psychological and pedagogical support, a mechanism for placing a state order has been introduced. As a result, the coverage of children with special education reached 84%. This was stated by Minister of Education Gani Beisembayev at a meeting of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
Today, the mechanism for placing government orders is being implemented in five regions: Almaty, Shymkent, North Kazakhstan, Zhetysu and Karaganda regions. It covers 2 thousand children.
The network of special organizations is increasing. Their number reached 496, which is 21 units more than last year. However, the network of PMTCS and correction rooms requires additional expansion in a number of regions of the country. These are Almaty, Shymkent, Abai, Turkestan, Karaganda and Kostanay regions.
"Support for children with special educational needs is one of the important directions of state policy, in this regard, work will continue to improve legislation to ensure access to education, improve the quality of rehabilitation services and special support," Gani Beisembayev said.
To share the results of screening, the relevant department integrates with the database of the Ministry of Health, and also automates the entry into the PMPC. Educational and methodological complexes are being developed, textbooks are being developed in stages, teachers are provided with methodological manuals.
