Kazakhstan's Parliament to Debate Sweeping Reforms on Education and Evictions
Mazhilis
At a meeting of the Mazhilis Bureau chaired by Speaker Yerlan Koshanov, lawmakers finalized the draft agenda for the upcoming plenary session.
In its first reading, deputies will consider a bill addressing the legal status of educators and education reform, along with related amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses. The legislation was developed by parliamentarians in response to the Head of State's directive to strengthen the rights and lawful interests of teachers at the legislative level. Key provisions include limiting educators' responsibility for students to instructional hours only, while expanding parental accountability for children's safety, health, and well-being. The bill also eliminates redundant paper and electronic reporting requirements and improves the system of medical education.
The Mazhilis will also review, in its first reading, a draft law aimed at reforming enforcement proceedings. The deputy-initiated amendments seek to safeguard citizens' rights and enhance the professionalism and accountability of private bailiffs. The bill incorporates recommendations from a 2025 Government Hour session dedicated to the development of private enforcement institutions. Notably, it proposes expanding simplified enforcement procedures for certain categories of documents (such as fines and tax arrears) by raising the threshold from 20 to 40 monthly calculation indices (MCI). To protect citizens' rights, the draft mandates a minimum ten-day notice for evictions and allows for a one-month suspension of enforcement proceedings if parties reach a settlement agreement.
In its second reading, deputies will examine a bill regulating the operations of special state bodies, along with corresponding amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses.
