«We know that our educational system needs a single digital ecosystem to automate all the processes in the sphere of education. This is why the Ministry of Education with the support of Freedom Holding Corp. has launched a new project aimed at the creation of an educational marketplace to develop talents among children with the help of the gentle encouragement method. The marketplace is expected to include some AI solutions,» Urazova said.

As the official pointed out, the project will help children to better understand what jobs they’d like to choose based on their talents; raise human capital in the country and improve communications between teachers, children and their parents.

The partners also highlighted that the single national educational platform must provide access to high-quality online education for every user. They agreed to work closely on the development and promotion of a single platform in educational organizations.

The idea of creating a single educational online platform for organizations involved in preschool, school, technical, professional and additional education was first initiated by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. In 2024, nearly 7,500 school students received gold medals in Kazakhstan, although about 7,700 applied for the award, the Ministry of Education reported.
