“Year of youth is a huge step to promote the Kazakhstan's model of the social state forward. New unique social lifts have been created for our young people. Unemployed youth received a signal that in three years there will be no people who do not study or work. Young scientists have received two-fold increase in their research grants. A new programme of education will establish new universities and colleges with new specialties" said Head of Secretariat.
He also noted that the Fund for Support of Youth Startups will be created as the young people have ideas but do not know the ways to realize them. He expressed hope that this forum will give opportunities for young people to learn from elders’ experience.
