Dialogue on What Matters Most

A dialogue platform was organized at our university with the participation of representatives of the North Kazakhstan branch of the Nationwide Coalition “For the People’s Constitution of a Just and Progressive Kazakhstan,” student youth, and university activists. The meeting was dedicated to discussing the upcoming constitutional reforms.

The adoption of the updated Constitution is not merely a legal act, but a strategic step that determines the country’s development trajectory for decades to come. The significance of these changes is especially great for young people. It is the younger generation that will become the main bearer of new values - responsibility, initiative, respect for the law, and readiness to contribute to the development of the state.

“We are living in a period of significant transformations in the country - a large-scale constitutional reform is underway. First and foremost, it is aimed at building a Just Kazakhstan. The preamble of the new Constitution states that science, education, and innovation are regarded by the state as strategic priorities. The key message is that human resources and human capital are recognized as the fundamental resource for the country’s development,” noted Chairman of the Executive Board – Rector Yerbol Issakayev.

Thanks to the new Constitution, young people gain not only more rights but also more opportunities for self-realization. The new model of the state is oriented toward an active citizen - one who does not remain an observer, but participates in public life, decision-making, and the development of the country.

Zhadira Zholkenova, a representative of the North Kazakhstan branch of the Nationwide Coalition, emphasized that sustainable development of society requires careful attention to the opinions and initiatives of students.

“Today we place great hopes on the younger generation. First and foremost, it is important that students clearly know and understand their rights. The updated Constitution is aimed at shaping active, responsible, and conscious citizens. That is why the younger generation must respect the law and be ready to contribute to the development of the state,” she stressed.
