In Kazakhstan, work continues on the personalization of the state order for preschool education and training using the voucher financing methodology.
Today, the voucher financing system for preschool education is being implemented as part of a pilot project in the cities of Taraz (Zhambyl region), Turkestan, Shymkent, and Uralsk.
Since November 20, the city of Uralsk has become one of the pilot cities where voucher financing is being introduced in preschool education and training, which allowed the issuance of 3,177 vouchers.
At the moment, all 185 preschool organizations in Uralsk are funded by a voucher mechanism.
Recall that the implemented voucher financing system opens access to budget financing for all organizations of preschool education, provided they meet the established requirements.
Parents are given the opportunity to choose their own kindergarten, which contributes to healthy competition not only among private, but also public preschool organizations.
The system provides a condition that ensures, first of all, transparency of the entire financing process when "money goes to the child." The calculation and transfer of funds is made only after the parents confirm the information in the attendance report card. It should be noted that the scaling of the voucher financing mechanism is planned from next year as the regions are ready.
For reference: There are 11,642 preschool organizations in Kazakhstan, of which 92.5% of children from 2 to 6 years old are covered by preschool education and training.
