It is necessary to build a unified vertical system,\" President Tokayev said.\n```\n\nThe President also raised the question of whether it is appropriate for 18-year-olds to still be in school, as is currently the case in Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools and private ones.\n\n```\n\"How reasonable is this, taking into account the accelerated physiological development of today's children? I believe the ministry should address this issue and propose solutions if necessary,\" he noted.\n```\n\nKassym-Jomart Tokayev reminded that the Constitution stipulates a unified standard for school education across the country.\n\n```\n\"In September, the doors of the University of Artificial Intelligence will open, but I believe this is not enough. The Government needs to explore establishing a Kazakh-Chinese artificial intelligence school in Astana, given China's extensive experience and achievements in developing new technologies,\" the President said.\n```\n\nEarlier, at the August Conference of Teachers, the Head of State [called](https://qazinform.com/news/kazakh-president-calls-for-proper-use-of-ai-in-secondary-education-system-20bc88) for the proper use of AI in the secondary education system\n\n.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/kazakh-chinese-ai-school-may-open-in-astana", "canonical_source": "https://qazinform.com/news/kazakh-chinese-ai-school-may-open-in-astana-7f43d3", "published_at": "2026-08-26 11:01:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-26 11:14:29.702747+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-policy"], "entities": ["Kassym-Jomart Tokayev", "Qazinform News Agency", "Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools", "University of Artificial Intelligence"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/kazakh-chinese-ai-school-may-open-in-astana", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/kazakh-chinese-ai-school-may-open-in-astana.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/kazakh-chinese-ai-school-may-open-in-astana.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/kazakh-chinese-ai-school-may-open-in-astana.jsonld"}}
