The Shakhmardan Yessenov Foundation has announced the results of the Yessenov IELTS Pro selection process. Out of 412 applicants from across Kazakhstan, 110 participants have been selected for free IELTS preparation. The selection process consisted of several stages. In the final round, candidates completed an online test assessing their grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. The winners were selected based on their test results.
Classes begin on November 5 and will be held twice a week for 90 minutes in partnership with Bonas McFarlane Education Kazakhstan.
The program provides 80 grants, with the final list of participants to be confirmed by January 2027.
In May 2027, the top 25 participants will be selected through a final assessment. The Foundation will cover their IELTS exam fees in the summer of 2027.
