In Aktau, journalists visited Secondary School No. 24, which was built with money confiscated from corrupt officials. 

According to the Telegram channel "LADA.KZ", the school grounds feature a lawn, a football field, running tracks, children's playgrounds, benches, and canopies. 

According to the journalists, the schoolyard is noticeably different from typical secondary educational institutions.

"Inside the school, too, the usual sights are absent. The architectural design of the buildings was created from scratch by the construction management department. They say all the nuances have been taken into account. From the layout of the classrooms to internal details, ventilation, the security system, anti-vandal doors, walls, and furniture. Each classroom is themed around a specific school subject," the report states.

The school's director, Alibek Baimuratov, stated that the first lessons at this school will begin within a month.

"This school is designed for 1,200 places. It was planned that children from five microdistricts would study here, but others are coming too. Already, 1,900 people have registered. In general, the internal and external construction work on the school is 100% complete. For our part, we are dealing with the hiring of teachers, providing textbooks for the children, and the final preparations inside the school. Some time is still needed for the paperwork. Therefore, God willing, within September we will accept all the children and teachers and start classes," the report states.

At the same time, for children with special needs, the school has provided ramps on the stairs and in the cafeteria, lifts, as well as wide corridors and doors.

Overall, the head of the Construction Management Department of the Mangystau Region, Tleuzhan Mustakhin, noted that funds were allocated from the Education Infrastructure Support Fund for the construction of four schools in the region. 

"Two of them are in Aktau - in microdistricts 18 and 19, and two are in the Munaily District: in the villages of Kyzyltobe and Baskudyk. All for 1,200 places. With the same technical specifications, but different construction companies. All schools are already ready," reported Tleuzhan Mustakhin.
