ALMATY. KAZINFORM "This year the number of senior students who passed the Unified National Test in Kazakhstan has reduced by 6,000 due to the demographic situation," Kazakh Education and Science Minister Asslan Sarinzipov told a briefing in Almaty.
"133,000 students graduated from schools in 2014 against 139,000 in 2013. According to the Statistics Agency, this trend will remain next three-five years. It is an echo of the 90s, the period of slowdown in population growth. Demographic situation changes will be seen in 2019-2020 when those born in the 2000s will graduate from schools," he added.
