Additionally, the Ministry has allocated 48 Starlink terminals to flood-affected regions, including 30 for the Kostanay Region, three for the Aktobe Region, three for the West Kazakhstan Region, one complex for the Ulytau Region, six for the Atyrau Region, two for the East Kazakhstan Region, and three for the South Kazakhstan Region. Starlink's primary focus in these areas is to ensure an uninterrupted educational process.
