The Korean Cultural Center of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea launched on February 3 a program to support South Korean language courses in Astana schools for the first half of 2026, Qazinform News Agency learnt from the Center’s press service.
The program now covers three schools, including the Alpamys School, the Republican Physics and Mathematics School, and Neotech Digital School. Classes will run from February to May.

He emphasized that the program is an important step toward introducing regular South Korean language classes in Kazakhstani educational institutions.
