Dear teachers, employees, students of Abai University!

I cordially congratulate you on Knowledge Day, the beginning of the new academic year!

The Day of Knowledge is the main holiday of the whole system of Kazakh education. Every year we - participants of the educational process - meet this day with heartfelt trembling: it always brings a lot of new meetings and acquaintances, interesting projects, important professional goals and objectives, bright prospects, and benchmarks!

The university continues to dynamically increase its potential using all communication technologies, first of all, in the scientific and educational sphere.

Abai University has entered the world`s leading rankings, which take into account virtually all aspects of the university, including the quality of teaching and research, the level of internationalization, and financial stability. Our achievements are supported by our success in national and world rankings, where the University has been firmly established in the TOP 10.

Today`s freshmen have the doors open to adult professional life, where they can prove themselves not only in a study, but also in science, sports, and creativity, becoming worthy of the outstanding success and victories of our graduates!

Friends, I wish this academic year to bring stability and satisfaction from work and study, new successes and achievements!

Dear colleagues, I wish you to become the best specialists in your chosen profession, responsible for the fate of the Motherland, able to make a worthy contribution to its further development. May the new school year be successful in everything!
