Out of this number, 5,754 scholars are women… Recently, we conducted serious research on the contribution of graduates of the Bolashak program to the development of the country. For example, if you look at the medical field – 790 graduates work in the health sector. On average, each of them performs about 391 surgeries. In total, this is 213 thousand lives saved per year. Such specific indicators as saving human lives clearly show how successful the Bolashak program is, and how much it affects the development of our country".

The achievements of these women are evidence of the success of one of the most unique startups of Elbasy, aimed at the development of human capital. By the example of our graduates, we prove that this project has become a powerful social elevator, and it is thanks to the Bolashak program that thousands of Kazakhstanis from ordinary families, having studied at prestigious foreign universities, return to their homeland and work for the benefit of the entire Kazakhstan people".
