"We are setting ambitious goals for the radical reorganization of the economy, modernization of the political system, and the construction of a truly fair and inclusive society. Investments in education and the creation of numerous opportunities for citizens' self-fulfillment are of special importance," he said in his speech.
Tokayev promised that the country will continue to support talented and diligent youth who embody the ideals of 'Adaldam Ezzaty,' which means 'Honest Citizen' in the Kazakh language.
"I am confident that the Bolashak program graduates and all young professionals in the country will contribute to a wide and comprehensive change in Kazakhstan," he said.
The Bolashak program was established on November 5, 1993, and allows more than 12,000 young people to study abroad for three decades. The scholarship covers all expenses from tuition to accommodation and air travel.
