On 2 October at Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University was held a presentation of books on the history of the university and historical figures who have made a significant contribution to its formation and development.

The rector Takir Balykbaev opened the meeting. Noting the importance of the event and the importance of the books published, he said: «It is known that over the past 90 years, the first national pedagogical university in Kazakhstan has undergone many complex conflicts in each of its development periods. Our university passed with honor through various peripetias of the politics of the Soviet era of the twentieth century in the socio-cultural sphere.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union and our independence, we entered a new era of social construction. Leaving behind all the burdens of history, sovereign Kazakhstan chose its progressive direction of development. And today, looking at our young people, I can state with confidence: this is a very worthy young generation, whose members are going to replace us and not turning, they will not deviate from the path we have chosen and which is the nature of our destiny.

We intend to continue the publication of books about the outstanding people of the country. Thanks to such publications, new, little-known pages of our history are often opened. However, at the same time, I want to emphasize that this is primarily a factor in the formation of a personality, and therefore, one of the most important aspects of pedagogical activity».

One of such books is the research work of the famous scientist, academician Mambet Koygeldy «Abai University. 90 zhildik tarikhinan». This book describes, on the basis of historical facts and documents, about how the first university was formed, describes the problems that it had to face. M.
