The education department of the Atyrau region has commented on the news that a school built under the state programme in the city of Kulsary, Zhylyoi district has been left without an owner and is in a state of disrepair.
According to the department, the building was constructed in 2009. Until 2016, it was used as school-gymnasium No. 24, then it was reclassified as a Kazakh-Turkish Lyceum (KTZ) and used as a dormitory.

In 2021, on the recommendation of the prosecutor's office, the work was suspended indefinitely. Procedures are currently underway to resume the repair work," the statement said.
