According to Nadira Dzhusupbekova, the Deputy Minister of Education, this year it is expected that about 170,000 children will be enrolled in the first grade. However, she emphasized that these figures are preliminary.

The Deputy Minister added: "The final number will depend on the actual registration data. It may turn out to be either higher or lower than the forecast presented."

It is worth noting that in the previous academic year, approximately 250,000 first-graders were admitted to schools. This was related to the transition to a 12-year education system, which led to the organization of a double enrollment in the first and second grades.
