New legislative amendments allow students to earn while studying

Students of public colleges are given the opportunity to earn money without stopping their studies. In the 2021-2022 academic year, thousands of students received income thanks to the adopted legislative norms, El.kz reports with reference to the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

New legislative amendments allow college students to sell products of their own production, produced in training and production workshops and educational farms. The developers of the changes note that such a measure will motivate and increase the interest of students in learning.

"Currently, in 97 out of 444 public colleges, students already sell goods and services of their own production. For example, they sell cakes cooked within the walls of colleges, bakery products, and other pastries. Students studying in the specialty "Welding", during practice, make structures from iron and also enter the labor market. We are not talking about full entrepreneurial activity, but only about the fact that the products produced during industrial training and practice can be sold and supplement the budget of the college. With these funds, you can purchase the same electrodes or metal for industrial training. Such work will be continued in other colleges of the country," Nasymzhan Ospanova, Director of the Department of Technical and Vocational Education of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan said.
