A pioneering project has kicked off in the Aktobe region to harness digital tech for enhancing small rural king. The initiative, led by the Sustainable Education Development Fund, received backing from the Kazakh Ministry of Education, Qazaqstan Khalqyna Foundation, and regional authorities. It aims to boost learning outcomes and bridge urban-rural education gaps.
The project, titled 'Development of the Potential of Small Rural Schools through Digital Technologies', got underway in 2023–2024. It targets 134 small rural schools and 12 hub schools, benefiting 10,395 students. By 2024, it had delivered a staggering 12,000 online lessons, with over 1,000 teachers involved.
Funding for this project came from various sources. The Aktobe regional akimat and Qazaqstan Khalqyna Foundation jointly contributed over 4 billion tenge. Additionally, the World Bank provided approximately $2 million. The project's success caught international attention. In 2025, it was selected by HundrED, a Finnish nonprofit, from over 800 applicants. The following year, it was included in the HundrED Global Collection 2026.
This project aligns with Kazakhstan's broader strategy to enhance education quality and ensure equal opportunities for all children, as directed by the head of state. By leveraging digital technologies, it's transforming rural king, one lesson at a time.
