More than 120 schools to be renovated in Kazakhstan's Zhambyl region

More than 120 schools in Kazakhstan's Zhambyl region will be renovated over the next three years. According to Khabar 24, most of them have not undergone major repairs in 25 years. This year, the region commissioned three new educational institutions and six additional classroom buildings.

The school building in Togyztarau village was originally a dormitory and was converted into a school 32 years ago. This year, a new wing was added to the school. Indira Saparkhanova, deputy director of the Toktarov school, said the building now has four classrooms, a canteen and a gym, and that this had long been a dream.

In Kumtyin village, the school has operated since 1998 in a building that once housed a polyclinic, and 150 pupils study there in two shifts. Six schools in Zhambyl district need major reconstruction, which requires 1.09 billion tenge. Four schools are planned for capital repairs next year, including schools in the villages of Kumtyin and Yernazar.
