The event provided a platform for a comprehensive discussion of Kazakhstan\u2019s development over the past seven years. Key topics included higher education and science, macroeconomics, industry and employment, tourism and social investment, as well as digital transformation and artificial intelligence. Talgat Narikbayev<\/strong>, Chairman of the MNU Management Board, congratulated the university community on Republic Day and noted that the holiday reminds everyone of the value of the right to determine their country\u2019s destiny independently and the responsibility for its future.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cOver the past seven years, Kazakhstan\u2019s GDP per capita has increased by 52.9%, reaching USD 15,000. The country has attracted USD 155 billion in foreign investment, opened 625 new industrial enterprises and created 3.6 million jobs. Behind these figures lie people\u2019s hard work and new opportunities for the country. As a university, our task is to train specialists who can develop new industries, establish businesses and strengthen Kazakhstan\u2019s economy,\u201d<\/em> Talgat Narikbayev<\/strong> emphasised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event also featured presentations by PhD holders and university professors Saule Kemelbayeva<\/strong> and Marat Akhmadi<\/strong>, as well as tourism and marketing lecturer Leila Shora<\/strong>. The speakers presented reports on key indicators of the country\u2019s development. Professor Marat Akhmadi<\/strong> highlighted the significant attention the state pays to investment in higher education and science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe state is the main investor. Over the past year alone, funding for higher education institutions increased by 18%. From 2019 to 2026, science funding also grew 3.6-fold, while KZT 1.5 trillion was allocated for educational grants. This represents substantial support for students. Seven years ago, 82,000 students lacked places in dormitories; today, the shortage has decreased 16-fold. A total of 267 student dormitories have been built across the country, and scholarships have increased 2.5-fold,\u201d<\/em> Marat Akhmadi<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speakers also highlighted the special role of President of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev<\/strong> in driving reforms aimed at the country\u2019s development. Lecturer Leila Shora<\/strong> spoke about record growth in domestic tourism. Meanwhile, Saule Kemelbayeva<\/strong>, Dean of the International School of Economics, presented her macroeconomic analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cKazakhstan\u2019s economy continues to demonstrate steady growth despite numerous external shocks. Progress has been made in economic diversification, and the country\u2019s public debt remains low by international standards. Kazakhstan is also a regional leader in terms of foreign direct investment,\u201d<\/em> Saule Kemelbayeva<\/strong> emphasised.<\/p>\n<\/div>
