Not for the first time in Kazakhstan, a student with special needs became the winner of the national olympiad among his peers.

Binom School stands out for its commitment to inclusive education. Here, comfortable conditions have been created for the education of children with special needs.

Kazakhstan pays great attention to inclusiveness, implementation of the principles of justice and unity, order and rule of law, ensuring equal opportunities for all citizens. These are the key priorities of President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev's reform course.

For example, last year in Kazakhstan, the Social Code was adopted, aimed at streamlining the legislation on social rights and guarantees of citizens, providing support throughout life. In an interview with IA Kazinform, the head of the Senate Council on Inclusion, Lyazzat Kaltayeva, noted progress for people with disabilities.

According to her, the Social Code introduced a norm on non-discrimination, which prohibits discrimination in the social sphere and specifies the criteria. Changes to allowances and payments, an increase in payments to people with disabilities and the introduction of additional payments from the state insurance fund are also foreseen.

On the instructions of the President of Kazakhstan, the Institute of the Ombudsman for the Rights of Socially Vulnerable Populations was established . 71 deputies with special needs perform duties in regional maslykhats (local representative bodies). Together, they work every day to remove social barriers and create an accessible environment for people with disabilities in all walks of life.
