No State-Funded Vacations Abroad for Kazakhstani Children: Deputy Zait Speaks Out

Rinat Zait, a deputy of the Parliament of Kazakhstan, recently stated that there are currently no government programs designed to send children on vacation abroad. He made this statement during a brief interview, using his own family as an example. "I have two daughters, and we have never had the opportunity to send them abroad for vacation," he said. This statement has sparked discussion about the accessibility of international travel for families in Kazakhstan, highlighting the need for potential government support in this area. This lack of programs contrasts with initiatives in other countries that provide financial assistance for families to travel abroad. The deputy's comments raise questions about whether such programs are necessary in Kazakhstan and whether they would be feasible given the country's current economic climate. The issue underscores the ongoing debate about social welfare and the balance between government spending and the needs of families.
