Topical Questions about the UAPF How can I verify that my child has become a participant in the "National Fund for Children" program?To verify, visit kids.enpf.kz and enter your child's IIN in the "Participant Search" section. Then click "Check." You will then receive information indicating the year your child became a participant in the program, as well as the total amount of their accumulated target requirements. What is the difference between target requirements and target savings?Target requirements are the Government's obligations to children who are citizens of Kazakhstan and under 18 years of age. Target requirements are formed annually from 50% of the National Fund's investment income. Target requirements are accrued and recorded in UAPF accounts, but the assets themselves continue to be invested as part of the National Fund's assets, and additional investment income is accrued on them annually.Targeted savings are previously accumulated amounts of target requirements that are credited to the target savings accounts of Kazakhstani recipients in the year they reach their 18th birthday.Therefore, upon reaching age 18, target requirements become target savings. They are accrued and stored in each program participant's target savings account in the UAPF, denominated in US dollars. After target savings are transferred from the National Fund to the UAPF, will they accrue investment income?Target savings credited to target savings accounts in the UAPF are not invested in financial instruments. They are held in US dollars and are available for use by recipients of target savings or their heirs. Can children from the same family transfer their target savings to each other, such as by assigning lump-sum pension benefit payments for housing and medical treatment?The assignment of target savings payments for the purpose of improving housing conditions or paying for education in favor of close relatives is not provided for by current legislation. My child has already opened an account in the UAPF and his target savings have been transferred there. Who can use them?After reaching 18 years of age, your child will have the right to independently use their savings for two purposes: improving housing conditions or paying for education. To do this, they must submit an application to the Authorized Operators.Currently, the Authorized Operators are:Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan JSC (for education),Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education). Can parents check the savings?Parents or legal guardians of a minor can view their child's savings on the kids.enpf.kz website, in the eGov mobile app, and in the apps of some banks. When the child turns 18, a targeted savings account will be opened for them in the UAPF, which only they, as the recipient of the targeted savings, will have access to. A child's UAPF account was opened and the targeted savings were transferred. However, one month before turning 18, the family changed their citizenship. What will happen to their targeted savings?If a participant in the targeted claims or recipient of targeted savings loses their citizenship of the Republic of Kazakhstan before or after turning 18, they lose the right to receive payment of their targeted savings. Their targeted claims and targeted savings will be distributed among other participants in the established manner, and their targeted savings account will be closed. In the event of the death of a participant in the target requirements or recipient of target savings, what documents and where should the heir receive them to receive the inherited target savings?In the event of the death of a participant in the "National Fund for Children" program, their target requirements or target savings are inherited in accordance with civil law. To receive them, the heirs must contact the UAPF. Funds are available only after the deceased's target savings have been credited to the target savings account. To receive payments, the heirs must open a US dollar bank account with an authorized bank.The heirs can use the funds for any purpose, meaning the mandatory requirement for their intended use is waived.A current list of required documents for processing payments in connection with the death of a person with target savings is posted on the UAPF website. Is it possible to use target savings in parts, rather than in full?Targeted savings in a target savings account can be used an unlimited number of times within the limits of the available target savings, as designated, provided the recipient is 18 years of age or older and holds Kazakh citizenship. What should I do if information is released indicating that my child is not a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan?If a child with the specified IIN, according to information in the State Database of Individuals, is not a citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan, they are therefore not a participant in the "National Fund for Children" program and cannot have the target requirements.To update the information in the State Database of Individuals, we recommend contacting the migration service at their place of residence.After making the appropriate adjustments, the UAPF will add the child to the list of children eligible for target requirements or recipients of target savings, taking into account the missed period. In what currency will the accumulation and subsequent transfer of target savings to the recipient of the target savings be made?According to Kazakhstan law, target requirements and target savings are recorded in the UAPF in US dollars. Upon payment, target savings are transferred and credited to the recipients' bank accounts opened with authorized US dollar operators. In which banks can I open a bank account to receive payments from the National Fund? Are there any criteria or requirements for banks participating in the National Fund for Children project?The law does not impose any restrictions on second-tier banks, meaning any second-tier bank in Kazakhstan that has entered into a relevant agreement with the UAPF can participate in the program. Currently, the authorized operator banks are:Otbasy Bank JSC (for housing and education),Halyk Bank of Kazakhstan JSC (for education),Bank CenterCredit JSC (for education). We moved to our historical homeland of Kazakhstan and have "qandas" status. Can our child participate in the "National Fund for Children" project?A citizen of the Republic of Kazakhstan under 18 years of age is eligible to participate in the targeted requirements. After receiving Kazakhstan citizenship, your child will be eligible to participate in the "National Fund for Children" project.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/abay-semey/press/news/details/1161405?lang=kk

Zhuldyz Suleimenova held an official meeting with Dr. Kai-Fu Lee, CEO of Sinovation Ventures. The parties discussed the integration of artificial intelligence technologies into secondary and technical and vocational education, as well as raising the quality of human capital to a new level.Head of State Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has declared this year the Year of Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence. This decision marks a firm step forward in the country’s technological development. The Minister emphasized that artificial intelligence technologies are not merely technical tools but a strategic resource for modernizing social policy and public administration and for enhancing national competitiveness.“As a result of our systematic work, 100,000 teachers have completed specialized training and received certificates in using ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence tools in the educational process. Our strategic goal is to effectively leverage the potential of artificial intelligence to ensure inclusion in education, personalize learning, and transform public institutions in line with modern requirements,” - said Zhuldyz Suleimenova.Dr. Kai-Fu Lee highly praised the Ministry’s commitment to digital reforms and shared his conceptual vision for the transformation of the education sector. In his view, artificial intelligence will free teachers from technical routine tasks such as grading, testing, and data processing, allowing them to strengthen their role as pedagogical mentors and creative leaders.According to the expert, one of the key directions for integrating artificial intelligence into secondary education is adapting educational content to each student’s cognitive characteristics and interests. For example, interdisciplinary approaches can link complex subjects with areas that engage students. Mathematical concepts can be taught by connecting them to a student’s interest in football, making learning more effective.The importance of interactive learning environments will continue to grow. Through animation technologies and artificial intelligence agents, it is possible to create dialogues with historical figures. This approach elevates learning from a purely academic level to an immersive experience. At the same time, in the context of rapid technological progress, soft skills such as creative thinking, communication, and empathy will become the most valuable assets in the labor market.The meeting also addressed the impact of artificial intelligence on the labor market and related ethical considerations. According to Dr. Lee’s forecast, artificial intelligence will optimize up to 60 percent of work processes, enabling professionals to shift toward more creative roles.The Ministry noted that it will strengthen public awareness initiatives and retraining programs, taking into account ethical concerns within society, particularly among parents and teachers.As a result of the meeting, the parties agreed to develop a joint action strategy for the education sector. The cooperation envisions support for acquiring advanced technological licenses for the national education system, establishing a local innovative company, adapting artificial intelligence methodologies to the national context, and expanding pilot projects implemented under the AI Kitap initiative and at School No. 107.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/edu/press/news/details/1161221?lang=kk

In the Zhetysu region, following the intervention of the Department of Trade and Consumer Rights Protection, prices for socially significant food products, including eggs, have been reduced. Work to monitor compliance with legislation in the field of trade and price regulation is carried out here on a systematic basis. Another inspection showed that some entrepreneurs do not comply with established norms. During monitoring, it was revealed that one trading company purchased chicken eggs for 50 tenge per piece, and then sold them in more than twenty branded stores for 60–75 tenge. The trade markup reached 20–50%, which significantly exceeds the permissible limit. After applying administrative measures, the price of eggs was reduced and brought into compliance with legal requirements. Violations were also identified in the sale of other socially significant goods. As part of an unscheduled inspection, it was established that one LLP supplied butter to another partnership, which then sold the products through seven retail chains and "convenience" stores with a markup ranging from 40% to 61%. Such indicators substantially exceed the established limit. According to the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Regulation of Trade Activities," the maximum permissible trade markup on socially significant food products must not exceed 15% of the manufacturer's selling price. Violation entails liability under Article 204-4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan, with fines having been toughened since 2025. Based on the inspection results, business entities have been held administratively liable and fined. Monitoring compliance with trade markups remains one of the priority areas of work, as it concerns price stability and the protection of consumer interests. Since the beginning of the year, the Department has reviewed 17 cases under Article 204-4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the region. The total amount of fines imposed amounted to 185,975 tenge. The Department calls on entrepreneurs to strictly comply with legal requirements. If facts of overpricing for socially significant products or the absence of price tags are identified, citizens can file an official complaint through the E-Otinish platform.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/mti/press/news/details/1161068?lang=kk
