Preschool Enrollment Opens in Kazakhstan: Key Dates and Requirements

Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan – The Ministry of Education announced the start of preschool enrollment for the 2025-2026 academic year. The process, which runs until August 31st, varies slightly depending on the region. "In regions with a voucher system, registration begins July 1st," stated a Ministry spokesperson. Parents must confirm their voucher two business days before selecting a preschool and have five days to complete the process, including gathering documents and signing a contract. Missing the deadline results in losing the spot. Other regions begin enrollment on August 1st, following the same rules. The deadline may be extended once for up to 30 days. A Ministry official added, "Parents should monitor notifications and prepare their documents in advance to avoid delays."
