In 2023, at a press conference at the "Kabar" agency, it was announced that for admission to institutions of secondary vocational education, both on a contract and grant basis, applicants are required to pass the National Testing. This was stated by the acting head of the Department of Higher, Secondary Vocational, and Postgraduate Education of the Ministry of Science, Dinara Bektasheva.
Dinara Bektasheva noted that changes to the education law were adopted this year.
According to her, now only graduates of the 11th grade need to take the National Testing, while this requirement does not apply to graduates of the 9th grade.
It is also worth mentioning that registration for the National Testing has already started — it began on February 17 and will last until April 2. The tests themselves are scheduled for May 16 to 23.
