A similar amount was recently used to construct a school in the Ulytau Region.
Koksai’s existing school, where 53 children study in two shifts, lacks subject rooms, a sports hall, an assembly hall, and a canteen. The new school, designed for 60 students, will help address the shortage of schoolplaces, benefiting the village’s growing number of young children. Currently, 28 children under 7 years of age live in the village.
The government has recently allocated 58 billion tenge (US$113 million) from the Special State Fund to construct socially significant facilities. These include five schools: a music school, two sports complexes, a multifunctional hospital complex, a dormitory, two kindergartens and a first-aid station.
