For decades, your professionalism, responsibility, and dedicated service have played a vital role in strengthening the economy, developing infrastructure, and improving the well-being of our residents.I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the veterans of the railway industry, who laid a solid foundation for the development of railway transport and nurtured a worthy new generation of professionals.Dear fellow residents, on this festive occasion, I wish you good health, happiness, prosperity, peace, and family warmth.

             A 28-year-old resident of the Abai region was brought to criminal responsibility for harassing a woman after the termination of a relationship, as a result of which she suffered moral harm.            A man met a woman in one of the cafes. Despite the age difference—she was ten years older than him—they developed a close relationship. However, over time, misunderstandings arose in the couple, which escalated into conflicts. The woman decided to end the relationship, despite the man's disagreement.            After the breakup, the man did not stop trying to communicate and began obsessively pursuing the woman: he regularly appeared at her home and workplace, tried to find out her whereabouts through neighbors, and also sent numerous messages from different numbers, demanding to resume contact. His actions were systematic and caused significant moral harm to the woman, as a result of which she suffered a nervous breakdown.              The man was found guilty by the court decision. He was sentenced to 100 hours of community service.             After the verdict entered into force, the convicted person was registered with the probation service of the Ayagoz district of the Abai region. To carry out his punishment, he was employed in the KGP "Su-Ayaguz" as a handyman.After our relationship ended, I couldn't accept it in time and let go of the situation. It seemed to me that if I insisted, everything could be returned and she would believe in my feelings. I called, wrote, and visited her, not thinking that I was causing her fear and discomfort. It was only over time and already during the proceedings that I realized that by my actions I was violating the law and causing serious moral harm to a person. Now I sincerely regret what happened. I realized that I need to respect the other person's choice and their personal boundaries. This case has become a serious life lesson for me. I intend to improve, conscientiously work out the prescribed punishment and prevent such actions in the future," the convict shared.The Probation Service constantly monitors the behavior of convicts, as well as conducts individual preventive work with them. The main goal is not only to ensure the execution of punishment, but also to prevent repeated offenses. In this case, explanatory work is carried out with the convict, aimed at forming a respectful attitude towards the rights and personal boundaries of citizens," said Ermek Kaliev, head of the Ayaguz district probation service.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1270824?lang=ru

            Short-term vocational training courses for convicts in the field of cooking were held at the maximum security institution of the Abai region. The training is organized as part of the implementation of programs for social adaptation and increased employment of convicts after release.           The courses were held with the participation of teachers from Semey College of Business and Service, who conducted a practice-oriented master class on cooking fast food. During the lesson, the participants mastered basic culinary techniques, got acquainted with the technology of cooking popular fast food dishes, and also learned the basics of sanitary standards and the organization of the work process in the kitchen.          The main purpose of the event was the formation of convicts' primary professional skills in the field of public catering, the development of labor competencies and increasing their competitiveness in the labor market after release. Such initiatives are aimed at reducing the rate of recidivism through successful social integration.          - Previously, I did not do cooking seriously — I cooked only simple dishes for myself. During the course, I realized that this could become a real profession. They explained all the cooking steps in detail, showed us how to work carefully and quickly. It is especially valuable that we prepared on our own and immediately saw the result. Now I have a desire to develop in this direction and, after my release, try to find a job in the catering industry. This gives hope for the future," the convict shared.             - We are systematically working to ensure that every convict has the opportunity to get a sought-after profession. The culinary direction was chosen for a reason — this is one of the areas where there is always a demand for specialists. Our task is not just to occupy the convicts, but to give them real skills that will help them start a new life after their release. Such courses increase self-confidence and form a responsible attitude to work," said Aydin Uvais, head of the Department for the organization of labor for convicts.           The organizers note that such educational events will be continued, and the list of professions available for training is planned to be expanded.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/duisabai/press/news/details/1270800?lang=ru

Laboratories, certification bodies, and inspection organizations in Kazakhstan have begun to undergo part of their mandatory assessments remotely. The National Accreditation Center of the CTRM MTI RK has already conducted 32 remote assessments, confirming that the digital format allows maintaining a high level of objectivity, independence, and quality of procedures. The transition to remote assessment has become the next stage in the digitalization of the national accreditation system. The new mechanism reduces time and organizational costs for businesses, lowers the administrative burden, and contributes to more efficient use of public resources. At the same time, the key principles of accreditation remain unchanged, such as independence, competence, and reliability of results. As experts note, in 2026, remote assessment is being conducted in a pilot mode during the second scheduled assessments. As early as 2027, the National Accreditation Center plans to expand the practice and extend the remote format to all scheduled assessments. At the same time, conducting assessments in a remote format is not mandatory. This mechanism is applied only to accreditation entities that meet the established criteria and have the necessary technical capabilities for remote interaction. To implement the new format, the Center has developed a set of methodological documents, including the working instruction «Remote Assessment», recommendations for assessors, and a feedback questionnaire for accreditation entities. This will ensure a unified, transparent, and clear approach to conducting remote assessments, as well as improve the mechanism based on practical experience and feedback from process participants.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1270748?lang=ru
