Semi-structured interview was applied as a data collection method.

The relevant literature, legal acts and statistical data corresponding to the subject of the study were also analysed.Originality / value of the research – During the study of these documents, it was found that issues related to the education of children affected by nuclear tests in the Semipalatinsk region were not considered acutely.
