"We are building now 34 schools now to liquidate three-shift schooling across the country. In 2017, we will start implementing a new project "Free professional-technical education for all". Since 2019, Kazakhstani students will start receiving blue-collar occupations. We need to ensure closer ties between learning process and production.
