"Higher Education — The Foundation of the Future": Celebrating Higher Education Workers' Day at KazNU

On October 1, 2026, a solemn event titled "Higher Education — The Foundation of the Future," dedicated to Higher Education Workers' Day, took place at the Faculty of Law of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.

The event was held under the overall leadership of the Dean of the Faculty of Law, Professor Ualikhan Akypbekovich Akhatov, with mentorship from the Head of the Department of Customs, Financial, and Environmental Law, Professor Guldana Amangeldyevna Kuanalieva, and Professor of the Department Gulnar Toleukhadyrovna Aigarinova. Students of academic group 101 acted as the organizers.

This event held special significance in the context of promoting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and integrating them into the educational process — specifically SDG 4 "Quality Education" and SDG 16 "Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions." It was particularly highlighted that the dedication of educators is invaluable in ensuring quality legal education and establishing a rule-of-law state, which lie at the heart of sustainable development.

The presenters congratulated the faculty members on their professional holiday, emphasizing their guiding role in strengthening the rule of law, maintaining order, and fostering judicial institutions in society. It was noted that the daily, meticulous work of law professors shapes the nation's future and serves as a driving force for building a peaceful and just society.

"It is a great honor and privilege for us to receive a high-quality education and thoughtful guidance from such wise mentors," expressed the students in their sincere gratitude and warm wishes.

The words of a teacher—revealing the essence of rights and responsibilities and illuminating the path of knowledge—serve as the cornerstone of tomorrow's sustainable society and justice. The primary achievement of a legal educator is fostering not merely a specialist who rigidly applies legal norms, but a responsible citizen who genuinely cares for law and justice. Guided by this principle, the first-year students respectfully presented the faculty members with handcrafted commemorative awards across special nomination categories.
