Almatinka falls a significant five-story drop.
In Kazakhstan, students will begin the new academic year on September 2, 2025, instead of the traditional September 1, due to the celebration of Constitution Day on September 1.
The Ministry of Education announced this adjustment to accommodate the national holiday without conflicting with the Day of Knowledge, which typically marks the beginning of the school year. This change in schedule is particularly significant for parents of first-graders, as the ceremony marking the beginning of their school life is an emotional and symbolic moment.
Despite the shift in the school start date, Constitution Day remains an important public holiday in Kazakhstan. The Ministry of Education and Science has recommended that schools decide independently whether to hold ceremonial events on September 1 or move all events to September 2. Schools have the option to hold the ceremonial part on September 1 or to postpone all events to September 2, in accordance with the Ministry's recommendation.
It is worth noting that Kazakhstan will be opening 83 new schools on September 1, 2025, but due to Constitution Day, the actual school start might be adjusted to September 2 for students.
The Deputy Prime Minister, Ermek Kosherbaev, has explained that schools can hold festive events on September 1, but the official start date of the academic year is September 2. The Ministry's recommendation does not affect the observation of Constitution Day on September 1.
If you require more detailed official documentation on this adjustment, it is recommended to consult the Ministry of Education of Kazakhstan's announcements near the end of August 2025. The new academic year in Kazakh schools will start on September 2, ensuring a proper celebration of both the national holiday and the beginning of the school year.
The Ministry of Education and Science in Kazakhstan is recommending schools to decide whether to hold ceremonial events on Constitution Day (September 1) or to move them to the first day of the new academic year (September 2). General news reports suggest that education-and-self-development institutions will be opening 83 new schools on September 1, 2025, but due to Constitution Day, the actual school start might be adjusted to September 2 for students.
