ASTANA. February 3. KAZINFORM /Serik Sabekov/ Prime Minister Karim Massimov has charged the Ministry of Education and Science to develop and submit for the Government's consideration a new program "Balapan" by the end of the month.
According to the PM, the program aims at covering all children of the republic with pre-school education by 2020. Alongside he noted that was quite an uneasy and difficult task and the Ministry should not rely on budgetary resources only.
