In Astana, reading corners for parents have opened at School-Lyceum No. 70 named after Temirbek Zhurgenov as part of the "Kіtap oqytyn ult" project. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Sputnik Kazakhstan.

Where the reading corners are located

The reading corners are mainly placed in convenient spots for parents who are waiting to pick up their children from school. This was reported by the official website of the capital's akimat.

Parents can now spend waiting time reading

"Now parents can spend the time they wait for their child reading books instead of staring at their phones. On the bookshelves, one can find literature on child psychology, upbringing, parent-child relationships and family values," the akimat says.

The goal of the project

Through the project, the school staff aims not only to encourage parents to read books but also to draw attention to the importance of setting a personal example for children.
