«The main reasons for the transition to the 12-year model are updating the content of the school education system, integrating with the international education system, introducing specialized education based on the interests of high school students, as well as providing preschool education to 6-year-olds and ensuring equal opportunities,» Dogdurkul Kendirbaeva said.

The minister acknowledged that there are certain difficulties in implementing the reform and called on parents to provide constructive criticism without aggression.
