Disturbing Numbers Revealed

In a significant gathering at No104 school, Eserbergen ALAUHANOV, a Merited figure of Kazakhstan, opened a discussion on the "Law and Order" and "Inclusive Education" concepts. The focus was on the essential role of inclusive pedagogy, as highlighted by speaker Marzia ASYLBEKOVA.

Kazakhstan is taking decisive steps to address crimes against minors, bullying, and to create a safe, inclusive educational environment. Government-led strategies and initiatives, launched in 2025, are playing a pivotal role in this endeavour.

Key measures include the implementation of anti-bullying programs such as Kiva and DosbolLIKE, now nationwide in schools. The unified child protection program, Children of Kazakhstan, is also being prepared, covering seven key areas as a fundamental framework for comprehensive child rights protection.

Mandatory school security systems are being installed in educational organizations with over 100 students. As of August 2025, 98% of schools have turnstiles, 97% have licensed security contracts, 96% have panic buttons, and 81% are connected to police operational control centers.

Ongoing inspections ensure compliance with anti-terrorism safety requirements, with a focus on private educational institutions, where 30% still lack necessary equipment. Strict legal measures against violence have been introduced, including QR codes for reporting and accessing help.

Teachers are receiving strengthened legal protections, training in digital and psychological skills, and are playing a central role in promoting safe and inclusive environments. The government is also investing in the construction and modernization of schools to provide brighter, safer, and modern facilities.

A new republican project on educational programs, "Probilim: inclusion and law", is being initiated, aimed at developing legal, ethical, and inclusive competencies in educators. More than 2,400 teacher assistants are supporting children with special educational needs.

However, the successful implementation of these projects and methods requires not just professional training of teachers but also support from parents, school administration, and the state as a whole. Eserbergen ALAUHANOV noted that bullying and harassment cases are often hidden rather than investigated.

In the first four months of 2025, 771 crimes were committed by minors, including 376 serious and 24 particularly serious ones. This follows a concerning trend, with more than 50% of minors who committed offenses neither studying nor working. In January-October 2024, more than 3,000 crimes against minors were registered, a 37% increase from the same period in 2023.

The speaker presented effective methods and practical approaches to teaching children with special educational needs, emphasizing the importance of an individual approach. There are 492 special educational institutions in the republic, providing various services to children with special needs.

Together, these initiatives reflect Kazakhstan's holistic approach to child safety in education, blending legislative action, technological integration, community involvement, and educational modernization to create a protective and inclusive environment for minors.

  1. Kazakhstan's newly launched government-led strategies in 2025, such as the "Children of Kazakhstan" program and the anti-bullying initiatives Kiva and DosbolLIKE, aim to create a safe, inclusive educational environment by addressing issues like bullying and crimes against minors.
  2. The government's holistic approach to child safety in education also includes initiatives like the "Probilim: inclusion and law" project, which is designed to develop legal, ethical, and inclusive competencies in educators, and the installation of mandatory school security systems in larger schools.
