«Reading Nation» is a nationwide marathon aimed at personal development and fostering a culture of reading. The project is being implemented pursuant to the Decree of the Head of State, Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev, dated 16 May 2026, “On Measures to Develop a Culture of Reading and Build a Reading Nation.”

The individual stage consists of the winners of seven preliminary competition categories. The selection process is conducted in stages: participants advance through regional rounds, after which they proceed to the national level.
The project includes seven competition categories: “Reading School”, “Reading Teacher”, “Reading College”, “Reading University”, “Reading Dynasty”, “Reading Civil Servant” and “Reading Intellectual”.
Regulations for the non-competitive “Parasat” category. This category is conducted outside the general competition and has its own rules and conditions for participation.
The regulations for each category provide participants with detailed information about the conditions and all stages of the selection process, including the school, district (city), regional, and national levels.
