We consider this address of our president valuable because of its importance, significance, responsibility, ingenuity, foresight. In his address, Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev defined the main tasks of our people. This is the preservation of socio-economic stability, jobs and incomes of the population. The president also focused on specific ways to implement it. The address, which includes eleven sections, specifies issues related to improving the country’s economy, culture, education, sports, etc. In the address, issues related to higher education institutions were covered in detail in the section “Affordable and high-quality education”. First of all, he highlighted the weaknesses of learning during the pandemic and suggested urgently developing new online platforms in the future.

He also touched upon the issue of expanding the scope of quality education and raising the salaries of teachers, taking into account their knowledge and skills. It is well known that the current stage is the stage of digital development. In this regard, the President proposed to develop a “Concept of Continuing Education.” We believe that this concept will also help to improve the quality of students’ education. Undoubtedly, this will improve the quality of education through the use of modern smart technologies in the training of new staff.

It is known that there are only a few professions that are in demand today. It is true that all specialties of our university are equipped with the necessary high-quality tools and library resources in accordance with modern requirements. Therefore, we are ready to implement the issues set out in the Address of the President Kassym-Zhomart Tokayev to the people of Kazakhstan.

The president said: “In our history, we have always stood the test of time. The country can solve the most difficult tasks. We are ready for this. We are a generation that has achieved centuries-old dreams of our people on the way to independence. We can say that if we are united and united, we will overcome all difficulties and achieve our goals”.
