Tokayev: Kazakhstan's future construction rests in the hands of skilled workers

Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's Jolday address to the Kazakh people was described as a strategic document that outlines a new stage in the country's development. The address set out the main directions of fundamental reforms aimed at strengthening domestic stability, raising economic potential and improving citizens' well-being.

The president's proposal to declare 2027 a "Nationwide Large-Scale Construction Year" was described as socially significant. In an article, Erlan Sydykov, rector of L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, wrote that every school, hospital, road, library and sports complex depends on the knowledge and labour of qualified specialists. The university's faculty of architecture and construction trains professionals for this field.

The article also cites educational programmes with Leipzig University of Applied Sciences and Grenoble Alpes University, and a double-diploma nuclear physics programme with Dubna University. It further mentions research on hydrogen production and storage technologies, solid oxide fuel cells and heat pumps.
