The article of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan K.Tokayev was discussed

 

   

 

A meeting was held at Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University to discuss the article by President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev «Abai and Kazakhstan in the 21st Century». This work, which caused a huge public breakthrough, is of great importance to our country, which this year celebrates the 175th anniversary of Hakim Abai. Rector of the University, Professor Takir Balykbayev, who opened the conference, shared his thoughts on the article.


«As you know, this year the 175th anniversary of the great Abay Kunanbayev will be celebrated at the international level, including within the framework of UNESCO. This is a great pride for the Kazakh people. The head of state personally began the baton of reading Abay`s poems, and this initiative was widely supported not only in our country, but also abroad. In his article, President of the Republic of Kazakhstan K. Tokayev emphasized that a deep immersion in Abai`s heritage and the implementation of his edifications meet the ideas embodied in the program of Elbasy N. Nazarbayev «Modernization of public consciousness». In addition, here Abai`s ideas are more relevant.


Modernization does not mean that we must abandon the past and open the way to new values. More than a century ago, the great thinker called on the nation precisely to modernization, renewal. Abai not only sincerely wanted the Kazakh people to learn and develop, but also made a huge contribution to the education of his compatriots. This idea is clearly seen in this article», T.Balykbayev said.


This article by President K.Tokayev contains such topics as «An example of national existence», «Interest in state affairs», «Ascetic of a new society», «The personality of world culture». and others, which reflect Abai`s ideas, which are still modern today. In particular, this applies to the system of education and science. It is no coincidence that the President`s work is called «Abai and Kazakhstan in the 21st Century».


Rector T. Balykbayev spoke about the upcoming anniversary events planned for this year at our university. He called on teachers, staff and students to take an active part in all the events that should be worthily held at the country`s first university, which has been named after Abai for more than 85 years.


Then the director of «Hakim Abai» center, associate professor Zhabal Shoyinbet, head of the department of political science and socio-philosophical disciplines, doctor of political sciences, professor Zhomart Simtikov, director of the project council «Rukhany zhangyru», professor Borassin Imanberdiev, the director of the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology Berikzhan Almukhambetov made reports.


They stated that they fully support the proposals and conclusions contained in the article of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, and are ready, like the entire university staff, to take part in their implementation.
