Ready-set-learn! First graders, here we come!
The Balakailar Mektebi program, an educational initiative mentioned on gov.kz, is set to expand its reach in August, with around 10,000 children expected to participate.
The program, which has been implemented in the capital's kindergartens and schools during the summer months, started in June with 20 kindergartens and 140 children participating in 20 groups. In July, this number increased to 15 kindergartens and 155 children.
In August, the program will be implemented in an additional 85 schools and 75 kindergartens beyond those already covered in June and July. This will bring the total number of schools involved to 100 and the number of kindergartens to 95.
A significant increase in the number of participants is anticipated in August. With 2118 children scheduled to participate, the program will have a larger number of participants than in June and July combined. Of these, 1548 children will be attending kindergarten as part of the program, while 570 will not be attending.
The program will cater to children speaking both Kazakh and Russian. In August, 1473 children speaking Kazakh and 645 speaking Russian are scheduled to participate.
As of now, the current total number of children who have participated in the program since its implementation in June is 1663, with 140 from June kindergartens, 155 from July kindergartens, and 3000 children expected to participate in August's program.
The Balakailar Mektebi program, which aims to provide additional educational support during the summer months, has been implemented in a total of 204 schools and 95 kindergartens since its inception in June.
The Balakailar Mektebi program's expansion in August will provide education-and-self-development opportunities for a larger number of children, as around 10,000 participants are expected, making it crucial for learning and personal growth. The program, which already involves 100 schools and 95 kindergartens, will now include an additional 85 schools and 75 kindergartens, allowing for more children to join in and engage in learning activities.
