Dear teachers and staff!

Dear students!

I sincerely congratulate you all on the 8th of March - International Women`s Day!

It is impossible to imagine our life without your presence. We highly appreciate and respect women-teachers`professional skills and invaluable contribution to upbringing of the younger generation, development of national education and Kazakhstani science, and female students - for their love to their future profession.

In the 95-year history of our University, many schools have been formed under the leadership of women scientists in many fields of science. Today, in the top 5 of Abai University, one can imagine the immeasurable merits of such colleagues as Alma Abylkasymova, Korlan Zhampeisova, Fauzia Orazbayeva, Ulzharkyn Abdigapbarova, Zhanna Khamzina. At the same time, there are many young women researchers, including very young ones, who actively participate in public life and raise the prestige of our university with their bright achievements in scientific and pedagogical activities. There are a number of female students of our university who have achieved some success not only in their studies, but also in other areas of life - sports, culture and the arts.

Abai University has a total workforce of 1,739, of whom 1,375 are women. There are more than 16,000 young people studying at the university, of whom 1,613 are women.
