ASTANA. March 26. KAZINFORM Ministry of Education and Science of Kazakhstan is quite positive about the time when all children in the country will attend preschool education institutions.
"The principal task at the moment and one of the President's instructions is to make preschool education accessible for 100% of children. I believe that our plan will work out and kids aged 3-6 will be covered with preschool education by 2017," Minister of Education and Science Bakytzhan Zhumagulov told the government's session on Tuesday.
"Construction of new kindergarten alone cannot help solve this problem," Minister Zhumagulov stressed. For this reason, he urged to expand the role of mini centers for children and private kindergartens in preschool education.
