No, since the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Education” (clause 17, article 47) does not provide grounds for employment of graduates who completed their studies within the rural quota, and therefore it is not possible to count the work of young specialists in urban areas.

Young specialists and PhDs who completed their studies this year arrive at the place of work in their direction no later than September 1 (in accordance with the decision of the Personal Distribution Commission).

JSC "Financial Center", as the operator of an authorized body in the field of education, provides monitoring and control over the compliance of graduates with their obligations to work out or reimbursement of budgetary expenses in case of failure to work out.

In case of identified violations in the work process, JSC "Financial Center" works with young specialists, PhDs and doctors in the field: preparing a written notice of mandatory work, calling young specialists at the contacts they have specified, searching on social networks. And if existing violations are not eliminated and/or work is refused, work is underway to return budget funds to the state, including in court.
