Deputy Kurmanalieva emphasized the need to create not only state educational institutions but also specialized schools for children with special needs. According to her, the number of children with Down syndrome and autism in the country has significantly increased.
“These children cannot attend regular schools and kindergartens. It would be wonderful if educational institutions focused on such children appeared in regional centers. Many families cannot afford to pay for education in private institutions. I am ready to propose ideas or criteria for the construction of such schools. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that among my relatives, there are children with Down syndrome and autism who do not have the opportunity to attend schools and kindergartens with the necessary conditions. I realize that this is not only the task of the Ministry of Construction but also requires joint work with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, as training specialists for these organizations is also important,” she added.
