On November 11, 2024, first-year students of Narxoz University attended a lecture by Sayasat Nurbek, the Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, held at Almaty Management University (AlmaU). The topic of the meeting was "Kazakhstan – A Regional Education Hub". The event invited the most active student leaders from various universities across the country, including 10 students from Narxoz University. Our freshmen not only listened to the lecture but also actively participated in the discussion, asked questions of interest, and talked with the Minister. This was a great opportunity for students to learn more about the prospects of education development in Kazakhstan and to discuss important topics directly with a Ministry representative.
