Responses to the Message of the Head of State Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev dated 09/01/2020

A new stage of large-scale transformations

The head of state, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, spoke at a joint meeting of the Houses of Parliament with the annual Address to the people of Kazakhstan "Kazakhstan in a new reality: time for action." The message of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan is dedicated to the main goals of the country's development, economic and social issues.

Particular attention should be paid to the scale of the tasks set by the President, the solution of which is necessary for the modernization and dynamic development of all spheres of life of Kazakhstanis. Work on the legislative support of a new model of public administration, support for reforms of the quasi-public sector, improvement of tax legislation and budgetary policy lies ahead. A large amount of work is associated with improving the social well-being of citizens, including addressing issues of health care, education, protection of children's rights. The President's message is a new stage of large-scale transformations. The message is aimed at solving the Kazakhstani formula for economic success. A wide range of economic issues requiring balanced and thoughtful decisions was touched upon in the message. One of these issues is the further development of the private sector and the improvement of the business climate in general.

Much attention is paid to the development of rural areas and single-industry towns. In small towns and settlements, young people are faced with a lack of information about the measures taken to support youth initiatives, therefore, an idea is formed that there is no work in this direction. The head of state noted that it is necessary to create new conditions for the development of remote settlements with the involvement of city-forming enterprises. This decision will launch a mechanism for the development of regional educational centers, including universities and colleges, located in small towns. New opportunities for the implementation of youth projects will be created. Increasing teachers' salaries was an important decision for the widespread support of the education system, because teachers are very involved in the formation of youth. Also, the task of continuing work on monitoring the activities of higher educational institutions to prevent the sale of diplomas was set.

In general, the President noted that the current situation in the world has completely changed the international agenda. The economy must meet the needs of the population. The Agency for Strategic Planning and Reforms will be created to develop follow-up proposals for reforming key areas of society.

The main leitmotif of the President's speech is the reboot of the activities of government agencies and public institutions. I am impressed by the fact that in order to find a solution to overcome the crisis, our President attracted wide social groups and announced a very large number of large and serious reforms. Increasing the efficiency of the state apparatus, public and educational institutions are on the first place. I am sure that the Address will find a warm response from every citizen of Kazakhstan, because our fellow citizens have found in this document answers to their problems. This Message is very expected, there are great hopes for it, and we have received detailed answers to almost all our questions from the head of our state.

Today, on the Day of Knowledge, when almost all the young generation of Kazakhstan began to study in a distance format, the head of state, Kassym Zhomart Tokayev, spoke at a joint meeting of the chambers of Parliament with an annual Address to the people. All aspects of the country's socio-economic and political development are outlined among the tasks set, including the issue of the education system, Tokayev instructed the Government to develop a concept of lifelong education. “The active introduction of alternative options for non-formal education, recognition of the results of independent learning, certification of professional skills should be provided for in this document,” the Head of State noted. The President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, instructed to solve the problem with the closure of universities that "print diplomas". Nobody doubts the correctness of this decision.

In his Address, the head of state continues to carry out a phased reform. Of course, without internal reorganization of the work of state bodies - the Government, ministries, akimats, further movement forward is impossible.

And in today's pandemic, the Message will become a guideline that will determine for every citizen of Kazakhstan, the solution to the tasks to improve the quality of life set before us by the Head of State.

Listening to the next Message to the people of Kazakhstan from the Head of State Kassym Zhomart Tokayev, which sets out the vision of the country's further development at a new stage, one is amazed at the relevance of the content and the timeliness of what was said.

No less important are the points of the Address regarding the fight against the epidemic. It was carried out thanks to the noble qualities inherent in a wise people. It was noted that the fight against the pandemic, which threatens the whole world, continues in Kazakhstan. Today's trials require us to move continuously, to work hard and work hard.

One of the main goals of modernization is to increase the efficiency of affordable and quality education. Due to the coronavirus epidemic, most schoolchildren and students around the world have switched to distance learning. This radically changes the approach and content of the work. We must reorient the entire vocational education system towards the formation of competencies in demand on the labor market.

Another important question. Environmental protection and ecological development come to the fore on the Kazakhstani agenda. It was noted that a draft of a new Environmental Code has been developed. It is designed to solve a number of systemic problems and will be adopted by the end of the year.

Long-term plans for the conservation and rational use of biological diversity are introduced to implement practical measures to improve the ecological situation. Within five years, more than 2 billion trees will be planted in the forest fund and 15 million in settlements. Legislatively and normatively, it is necessary to protect national parks and other natural resources of Kazakhstan. This action will lead to a large-scale greening of our country.

The President of the Republic of Kazakhstan paid due attention to the environmental education of the younger generation in schools and universities. The environmental action "Birge - taza Qazaqstan", designed to strengthen environmental values ​​in society, should be carried out systematically. The government, in cooperation with the scientific community and the private sector, should develop a package of proposals for "green growth"; the draft law "On the protection of animals." Next year, the moratorium on some norms of the Land Code on the use of agricultural land will be lifted.

Having familiarized yourself with the new Address of the President of Kazakhstan to the people, you understand that the future depends on each of us, and we will "Build the future together!"
