270 Schools in Akmola Region to Receive High-Speed Internet Access through Starlink Initiative
High-speed internet access will soon be available in nearly 270 schools in the Akmola Region of Kazakhstan. According to a report by Kazinform on Jan. 30, Bayurzhan Rapikov, head of the regional digitalization and archives department, shared this exciting news.
The internet will be provided through Starlink, a high-speed satellite internet system. This initiative aims to provide a stable and fast internet connection for remote and rural areas, enabling students and teachers to access modern digital educational resources.
Rapikov emphasized that the implementation of the Starlink project is part of a broader effort to digitize education in Kazakhstan. The goal is to provide more than 2,000 secondary education organizations in the country with broadband access to modern educational technologies by the end of March.
In addition to the internet access in schools, there are plans to install 56 5G base stations in Kokshetau, the regional capital. Seven of these stations have already been launched, with more to come.
This development is a significant step forward in ensuring that students and educators in the Akmola Region have the resources they need to thrive in the digital age. Access to high-speed internet will open up new opportunities for learning and collaboration, bridging the gap between urban and rural areas.
As Kazakhstan continues to prioritize the digitalization of education, initiatives like the Starlink project will play a crucial role in shaping the future of learning in the country.
