The implementation of a fair social policy is the basic condition for building a Fair Kazakhstan.
The State is directly responsible for the education, health and well-being of citizens. Our social budget continues to grow – we allocate trillions of tenge for the construction and modernization of kindergartens, schools, hospitals, cultural and sports facilities, as well as targeted assistance.
Behind the large figures lie the interests of people – every person in need of support should receive personal assistance from the state.
In our country, for a long time, spending on the social sector was considered as a forced measure. We will radically change this approach.
From now on, social investments will work as direct investments in human capital. All the efforts and funds that we will invest in people will become the basis of economic growth.
We will create the most comfortable learning conditions for our children, we will provide them with modern and safe kindergartens and schools, free meals, additional education, high-speed Internet.
The shortage of student places and student dormitories will be eliminated, and a digital environment in the education system will be formed.
Colleges and universities will educate professional specialists, who are in demand globally and domestically.
Citizens will greater access to high-quality medical services.
Combining the efforts of the state and business, we will modernize the healthcare system. This will contribute to strengthening the health of the nation, increasing people's life expectancy.
Social programs will expand the opportunities of our labor market. We will increase the amount of social benefits, introduce new tools to support vulnerable groups of the population. We will help people to provide basic needs and improve their lives through new knowledge and productive work.
Affordable and Quality Education
There are about 6.5 million children in our country. All of them, regardless of their place of residence and language of education, should have equal access to basic knowledge, digital technologies, and comfortable educational infrastructure.
The values of education are at the core of the Fair Kazakhstan.
The more talented, educated and patriotic children we bring up, the faster we will improve the overall well-being.
A special role is assigned to our teachers. We will steadily improve their social status, create all conditions for their creative work, free them from non-core functions.

The emphasis will be placed on the development of branches of medicine, where citizens have to apply to foreign clinics. Import substitution and the development of medical tourism in Kazakhstan will become priorities in the development of healthcare.
