Schools in Astana are testing a new digital identification system.

A pilot project for digital tracking of school lunches, developed by the Kazakh IT company BTS Digital, has launched at capital school No. 12. The new system, integrated into the "Social Wallet" application on the Egov.kz platform, uses video identification, allowing students' meals to be recorded without cards or paper documentation.

The process takes less than a minute: the teacher logs into the application, scans the students' faces, and the system automatically confirms their presence. The data is instantly uploaded to the electronic system, eliminating the need for additional equipment.

Over two weeks of the pilot launch, the number of identifications increased from 160 to 210 per day, confirming the technology's effectiveness. The initiative was presented to Tamara Duisenova, Assistant to the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, who noted the significance of digital solutions for education and social policy.

BTS Digital has expressed readiness to expand the project by connecting new schools and training staff. Digital technologies continue to transform Kazakhstan's education system, making it more convenient and transparent.
