A meeting of the regional akimat dedicated to preparations for the new 2026–2027 academic year was held under the chairmanship of Kostanay Region Akim Kumar Aksakalov.The Head of State pays special attention to education and the younger generation.

Artificial intelligence is used in scientific projects and research."The shortage of student places in schools has decreased from 7,500 to 2,500, that is, by 3 times. To address the remaining shortage of 2,500 places, two schools will be built," noted the head of the region.Since 2023, primary school students have been provided with free hot meals. To ensure quality nutrition, no educational facility should have a cafeteria without a sanitary-epidemiological certificate."It is necessary to conduct the 'Road to School' campaign in a high-quality and transparent manner, ensuring full coverage of children in need of assistance. I call on business representatives to actively participate in this campaign. All of this creates conditions for comfortable learning for children, their comprehensive development, and the achievement of good results," emphasized Kumar Aksakalov.Over the past two years, the region's economic growth rates have exceeded the national average.

       Government services are becoming more accessible to citizens – some can be accessed without visiting a public service center. This is achieved through the "Personal Manager with Home Visit" service, where a specialist visits the address specified by the applicant. In the first seven months of 2026, approximately 1,500 Kazakhstanis took advantage of this opportunity.By comparison, over 2,000 people used the "Personal Manager with Home Visit" service in 2025. Last year, the mobile personal manager service was most in demand in the Kyzylorda region, with 540 people using it, followed by 477 in Almaty and 435 in Pavlodar region.In the first seven months of this year, the top three have changed. The largest number of personal manager visits was recorded in Almaty – 296. Atyrau region ranks second with 277, and Kyzylorda region third with 259.To use the service, simply submit a request remotely and provide your address.

This amount is the cost of the service and does not include the state fee.A mobile personal manager can be used to obtain a wide range of government services.

Kazakhstan's exports of non-commodity goods have doubled over seven years 18.08.2026
Kazakhstan's trade turnover of non-resource  goods with all countries of the world reached $43.9 billion in January–June 2026. Compared to the same period last year, the figure increased by 7.6%  or $3.1 billion. Meanwhile, exports demonstrated significantly higher dynamics. In the first six months of 2026, Kazakh enterprises supplied $15.2 billion worth of processed goods to foreign markets,  17.6% more than a year earlier.The first six months of 2026 became another period of growth in Kazakhstan's foreign trade in non-resource and processed goods. Against the backdrop of moderate import growth, exports became the main source of positive dynamics. Over the year, export supplies increased by $2.3 billion  from $12.9 billion to $15.2 billion, while imports grew by 3%, from $27.9 billion to $28.7 billion.Thus, exports of non-resource and processed goods in January–June 2026 grew almost six times faster than imports. At the same time, the negative trade balance decreased from $14.9 billion to $13.5 billion, improving by $1.4 billion.The dynamics over the past seven years are particularly indicative. In January–June 2019, the trade turnover of non-resource and processed goods amounted to $23.6 billion, and exports were  $7.72 billion. By January–June 2026, these figures reached $43.9 billion and $15.2 billion, respectively. Thus, over seven years, trade turnover increased almost 1.9 times, and exports nearly doubled, adding about 97%. Moreover, the current export figure of $15.2 billion is the maximum value for the entire observation period presented.The growth in supplies is driven by the expansion of Kazakh products' presence in several large and promising markets simultaneously. The most significant increase was recorded for Turkey, where exports in January–June 2026 doubled — from $950 million to $1.91 billion. Thus, in the Turkish direction alone, Kazakhstan received an additional approximately $960 million in export revenue.Even more notable dynamics were observed for the United Kingdom: exports grew 2.7 times, from $248.9 million to $671.8 million. Supplies to China increased by 12.1%, reaching $3.67 billion, which provided an additional approximately $400 million compared to the same period in 2025.Significant growth was also noted in the markets of Uzbekistan, France, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong. Exports to Uzbekistan increased by 23.5%  to $1.39 billion, to France  2.4 times, to $385.4 million, to Afghanistan  2.1 times, to $344.9 million, and to Hong Kong  2.9 times, to $220 million.It is especially important that Turkey, the United Kingdom, and China alone provided about $1.8 billion in additional exports compared to the first half of last year. This demonstrates not only the growth in physical supply volumes but also the expansion of opportunities for Kazakh companies in major international markets.Today, the export basket is formed by such items as copper and copper cathodes  $2.84 billion, uranium $1.51 billion, ferroalloys  $1.1 billion, silver  $781.3 million, sunflower oil  $533 million, and animal feed products $438 million.An important result is also the ratio of growth rates. With exports increasing by 17.6%, imports of non-resource and processed goods grew by only 3%. As a result, the gap between exports and imports is gradually narrowing, and the trade balance improved by $1.4 billion over the year.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1275987?lang=ru
