New 2000-seat school opens its doors in Astana

Majilis members from Amanat party, Pavel Kazantsev, Samat Nurtaza, and Nartay Sarsengaliyev surveyed preparation for the opening of a new comfortable school in the residential area of Urker in Astana, Kazinform News Agency reports.

The shortage of school places in the Urker residential area was addressed with the establishment of a new school within the Amanat program. The school is designed for 2,000 students.

As Pavel Kazantsev has observed, the Comfortable School national project places a high priority on supporting domestic manufacturers. Specifically, the primary requirement for developers is to ensure that at least 70% of the components used in their projects were locally produced.

“Furniture, equipment, and construction materials are almost entirely domestically produced. This approach is strategically important, as the use of products manufactured in Kazakhstan contributes to the growth of the national economy. These are our jobs, the turnover of the economy, money, it's all here,” emphasized Pavel Kazantsev.

Samat Nurtaza highlighted the fact that the country's rapidly expanding demographic base poses significant challenges to the education system. The limited capacity of schools to accommodate this growth has emerged as a pressing concern.

“This school No. 33 will be named after the outstanding singer Amre Kashaubayev. It is pleasant to notice that the building pays special attention to the safety of students. Thanks to the initiative of the Head of State within the framework of the national project, such schools will be built in remote settlements of the country,” the MP noted.

A total of 11 comfortable schools have already been opened in Astana. 24 new-type schools for 90,000 schoolchildren will be built in the Kazakh capital within the framework of the national project.

As earlier reported, 24 new schools would be built in Astana under the Comfortable School national project.
