On June 4, 2021, Professor George Bermann gave a lecture on the topic of investor-state dispute settlement before students of KAZGUU University. In his lecture, he covered the main areas of investment arbitration, procedures and substantive protections offered by international investment agreements.

Professor Bermann is the director of the Center for International Commercial & Investment Arbitration at Columbia Law School, a world-renowned authority on comparative law, EU law, international trade contracts, WTO dispute resolution, and transnational litigation and arbitration. For more than four decades, he has been an active international arbitrator in commercial and investment disputes in all sectors, including general commercial contract, construction, intellectual property, energy, oil and gas, competition law, transportation, and employment.

Prof. Bermann drew comparisons between investment arbitration and commercial arbitration. He noted that investments disputes are based on an international investment agreement (e.g. a bilateral investment treaty), which required consent of the State. He described ICSID, as a specialized institution to hear only investment disputes. He noted that over 60% of investor-state claims are brought before ICSID.

On substantive investor protections, Prof. Bermann discussed a number of rights, including:

National Treatment

Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment

Expropriation

Fair and Equitable Treatment

Full Protection and Security

Prof. Bermann described the whole arbitral process: choosing a seat (the ‘geographical home’) of the arbitration; selecting arbitral tribunal; hearings; rendering an award. Then he explained the process of enforcing an award. This means, in the context of investment arbitration, to go to a court where the State has assets, and then to obtain an order to enforce against the property of that State. Prof. Bermann noted that enforcement would usually take place under the New York Convention.

Prof Bermann closed his lecture with a final note that the investor-state dispute settlement system is open to serious critique, of which is being addressed and reformed. He described the issue to involve the centralization of power amongst three private individuals (the tribunal), whom had substantive power to dispose with the economic interests of a country. He noted the system to contain no appeal on the merits, and that states, substantively, are concerned with their right to regulate for the public interest.

The lecture then finished with questions and answers. The university students posed insightful questions, reflective of their understanding of investor-state dispute settlement. This included, on recent trends in investment agreement negotiation practices, scrutiny of an arbitral award, anti-suit injunctions, investment courts and umbrella clauses.

RESOLUTION
following the webinar “How to address the problem of predatory publications?”
1.03.2021

Phenomenon of predatory publications is increasingly a major problem in academia. It decreases quality of science and research, misleads researchers, destroys reputation of Universities and harms public policies supporting research and innovation. Problem of predatory publishing is becoming acute in Kazakhstan and other CIS countries. According to a recent article “Predatory publishing in Scopus: evidence on cross-country differences”, published in Scientometrics journal in February 2021, Kazakhstan was the most affected country by predatory publications in journals indexed in Scopus in years 2015-2017. Every sixth article published by authors affiliated with Kazakhstani Universities appeared in journals which were later identified as predatory and discontinued from Scopus database (Vít Macháček & Martin Srholec, 2021).

Higher School of Economics of M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University hosted an online ‘Let’s Talk Research’ seminar with topic “How to address the problem of predatory publications?” on 1 March 2021. Dr. Martin Srholec (Deputy Director of Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education – Economics Institute of Charles University and the Economics Institute of the Czech Academy of Sciences), Dr Bulat Kenessov (Director of Center of Physicochemical Methods of Research and Analysis and Professor of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University) and Dr. Ikboljon Qoraboyev (Associate Professor of International Relations of Higher School of Economics of M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University) explained different aspects of the problem of predatory publishing and discussed best ways and strategies to address this problem. Speeches were followed by an interesting session of Q&A. More than 100 participants from different Kazakhstani and foreign Universities took part in the webinar.

Dr. Martin Srholec underlined that phenomenon of predatory publications is a global problem for academia today and there is a need for a collaborative action against predatory publishing which must bring together higher education policy makers, Universities and scholars. He proposed four broad recommendations to fight predatory publishing: 1) Governance and evaluation of research must be conducted at various levels, it shouldn’t be limited to bibliometric indicators alone. Evaluators must also scrutinize content of publications; 2) Journals must promote open peer review policies. Publishers must render open and transparent their peer review processes; 3) We must promote authors awareness of editorial practices of journals in which they publish. Websites like thinkchecksubmit.org can be useful for authors to check journals’ standing with respect to publishing integrity; 4) Scopus (and other citation databases) must improve their content selection criteria and they must strengthen their efforts to curb predatory content.

Dr. Bulat Kenessov discussed efforts to fight predatory publications in Kazakhstan. He underlined that Kazakhstan has implemented a set of measures to reduce number of predatory publications by authors from Kazakhstan. As a result of these measures, share of publications of Kazakhstani authors in journals which were discontinued in Scopus fell down from 38.4% (1st place) in 2016 to 10.9% (5th place) in 2020. However, he noted that this situation is still unsatisfactory and Kazakhstan must target to bring down share of predatory publications to 1% in order to reach level of advanced countries. He also explained how to detect predatory journals and formulated several recommendations to improve further situation in Kazakhstan which include measures like strengthening qualitative indicators for publications required for academic degrees and positions, to remove Scopus publication requirement for social sciences and humanities and to introduce rigorous peer review of PhD theses by external experts in order to advance to PhD defense instead of Scopus publications in the field of social sciences and humanities.

Dr. Ikboljon Qoraboyev explained that phenomenon of predatory publications is taking oversized form in post-Soviet countries. He highlighted four major levels which explain why authors publish low-quality articles in predatory and suspicious journals. These factors are related to policy level, institutional level, individual level and market level. As a result of these factors, researchers and decision-makers are too much focused on the product aspect of publishing and they are ignoring process aspects of publishing. Academic publishing is not only about the end result which is publication, it is also about following essential rules of the process of publishing which includes important stages like peer-review, getting feedback from senior colleagues, respecting rules of ethics and academic integrity when preparing article drafts, theoretical conversations among scholars in scientific fields, producing valuable publications for academic community and society as a whole. Pressure to publish a high number of publications in short time is leading researchers to ignore these important steps of the process of preparing academic articles. There is a need to strengthen process-focused approach to publishing in order to reduce problem of predatory publications. For this, public agencies and Universities must provide more training and support to researchers.

Dr. Bulat Kenessov articulated a set of specific recommendations for Kazakhstan’s scientific and research context that shaped the framework for this resolution:

1) all regulations should state that articles in journals that are no longer indexed by the Scopus database shall not considered for evaluation purposes;
2) allow dissertation, expert, national research and other councils not to consider articles in journals of a questionable quality;
3) recommend contacting Scopus and Web of Science in case of doubts about the quality of indexed journals, in which the number of publications by authors from Kazakhstan has sharply increased;
4) toughen regulations regarding the requirements on journals from the Scopus database (for example, the requirement SJR> 0.3 allows to effectively cut off most of the questionable journals), or exclude the Scopus database in certain areas (for example, in the natural sciences Science Citation Index Expanded by WoS is more relevant);
5) publicly funded research grants regulations should allow payment for the open access publications (Article Processing Charges) only directly to the publisher (and not to intermediaries);
6) Universities and research institutes shall not pay bonuses for and take into account in academic rankings the articles published in questionable journals. They must also strengthen control over the compliance with the principles of academic ethics;
7) universities not providing sufficient quality control over their academic research should not be allowed to participate in the government funding for doctoral studies;
8) incorporate quality of academic publications into the KPIs of heads of public universities and research institutes;
9) in humanities and social sciences, article publication requirement can be replaced by requirement to provide independent and rigorous examination of PhD dissertation by two external reviewers in order to proceed with PhD defense;
10) conduct research to identify questionable journals, publish their lists and not consider publications in them;
11) conduct trainings for researchers on selection of academic journals, academic writing and research methodology, as well as research ethics;
12) motivate scholars to publish in better quality journals (especially Q1 WoS or Arts and Humanities Citation Index);
13) reconsider and readjust scientometric indicators in the relevant policy documents.

M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University presented the Draft Concept of the new Civil Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The draft concept was presented at a meeting with the Vice Minister of Justice of the Republic of Kazakhstan Pan Nataliya Vissarionovna.
In September 2019, a Research Center on Private Law was specifically created to design the draft concept in KAZGUU from among academics of all generations, who worked intensively on the project during the year.
Members of the working group noted that the new civil code is a necessity, determined by time in light of the fourth industrial revolution. Current civil law does not meet current trends in the development of the market, society, digitalization, virtualization.
The current Civil Code is the two Laws adopted in 1994 and 1999 based on the Model Civil Code for the CIS countries during the transition of these countries to a market economy.
’It must be understood that the current Civil Code was adopted at the initial stage of the existence of the young independent Republic, for which market relations were a relatively new ‘phenomenon’. There was no opportunity to analyze the practice of most institutions. Subsequent numerous amendments could not adequately ensure the stability of civil-law transactions. In fact, the legislation today is significantly ‘lagging behind’ rapidly developing new institutions and relations regulated by it’,-noted Pen Sergey, Provost of KAZGUU.
According to lawyers, the new code will solve the existing problems of law enforcement practice.
The concept of the new Civil Code draft was designed taking into account the development of information technology aimed to adapt legislation to the needs of the modern market, ensuring the stability of civil-law transactions and protecting the interests of bona fide participants in civil circulation.
The draft’s authors took into account the best foreign experience and offer a model for the implementation of some institutions of German and English law with their adaptation to the conditions of Kazakhstani reality.
Special attention is paid to strengthening the basic principles of civil law. Many provisions are included to protect the property interests of the weaker parties and minors.
As a result, innovations addressed all institutions: transactions, bindings, contracts, the law of property, death estate, conflict-of-laws rules, etc.

In accordance with the Sputnik news agency, Talgat Narikbayev, Head of the Adal Bilim Anti-Corruption Project Office of the Ministry of Education and Science of Kazakhstan, Chairman of the Board of KAZGUU University proposed to introduce university responsibility in Kazakhstan for low-quality training of specialists.
According to him, there is now a need in Kazakhstan to revise the procedure for grant financing. In particular, according to the practice of pedagogical and medical universities, there is a need to bind by a commitment those graduates who have studied at the expense of the state to work out in the region where there is a shortage of specialists, including in villages and towns.
‘When analyzing, we have found that state national universities also have a tendency not to have a competition as such. Students get ‘A’s and ‘B’s, very rarely get ‘C’s, and don’t get ‘F’s at all. The majority of students finish their studies. 100 people come in the first year, 90-95 people graduate. These 5-10 people are people who left voluntarily. As a result, the state receives a lot of graduates with poor preparation, and we get a lot of graduates with high self-esteem, graduates who do not go to work as employers don’t accept them because of poor preparation,’ – said the University’s Rector.
As a solution to the problem, Talgat Narikbayev proposed to refer to the responsibility of universities for the quality of specialists, up to and including the return of public money to the state.
A proposal on the responsibility of universities is now under consideration by the Ministry of Education.

On May 21, 2020, a Memorandum of Cooperation has been signed between M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University and the Administration of the Constitutional Council.
The Memorandum aims to develop cooperation in the field of training highly qualified legal personnel, creating an employee pool, sharing experience, including through organizing guest lectures, workshops, training, and other forms of interaction.
Besides, it is planned to implement programs to increase the level of legal culture of citizens and implement constitutional values.
While commending the value of the upcoming cooperation, Pen S.G., Provost of M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University, expressed his confidence that joint efforts will contribute to a high-quality level of professional training of KAZGUU students’ practical skills: ‘KAZGUU University and the Constitutional Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan closely cooperate. We have common legal traditions, our faculty includes many members of the Constitutional Council. We very often respond to requests to provide expert opinion and our lawyers’ points of view for constitutional procedures. Moreover, the Constitutional Council is very actively involved in legal education, conducts and initiates contests to promote knowledge of constitutional values and other legislative provisions of our country.’
B. Nurmukhanov, Head of the Administration of the Constitutional Council of the Republic of Kazakhstan, said: ‘This Memorandum will bring our cooperation to a whole new level. This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The memorandum involves the deepening of our cooperation in training legal personnel, in the field of propaganda of constitutional values, increasing the level of legal culture of the younger generation and citizens. I think specific projects will be developed within the framework of the Memorandum. I think that in the future students of KAZGUU University may count on employment in the Constitutional Council. In addition, we will attract them to participate in constitutional procedures, in meetings of the Constitutional Council to reinforce their theoretical knowledge in practice. The Constitution is the principal law of the state. The duty of everyone is to know and respect it.’

The pace of modern life makes it impossible to live slowly. Young people are especially in a hurry, as they have a lot to do – to get an education, find a good job, or open a business, to get married. All this takes time, and many people don’t have enough of it. The value of time has increased significantly. Given the realities of the modern world, M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University has created the ‘Bachelor’s Program for High School Students’ so that students could master basic subjects even now.
The program will allow students to finish their university studies earlier than their peers. Students receive knowledge from certified teachers, graduates of the world’s leading universities with great practical experience. This is a good opportunity for a student to plunge into the academic environment, get to know students, and spend time profitably. In the future, upon admission to KAZGUU, the credits taken during this program will be accepted and transferred.
Zhukenova Dilnaz, ‘Psychology in Business’, 11th – grade student, School No. 6, Nur-Sultan: ‘I, Zhukenova Dilnaz, studied at the Pre-Bachelor’s program at KAZGUU University, and this allowed me to understand a lot about the life of higher education institutions, including what kind of profession I want to choose, how students are taught, to feel out student life, traditions, and rules of university life, where I wish to study in the future.
In the process of my study, I liked the teachers – ‘craft professionals’. They did not divide us into the first, second, third, and fourth – year students, they treated everyone the same way, giving us the right to self-expression. Friendly students helped in our studies and were glad to see us as students.
The Pre-Bachelor’s Program is a great opportunity for many students to find out what lies ahead, a great springboard to prepare for a new step in your life. Today, KAZGUU is the only university providing such resources. Providing such an opportunity for high school students, KAZGUU shows that they are happy to accept any young people seeking knowledge!’
Ebengapass Yelnar, ‘Applied Linguistics’, 11th – grade student, School No. 3, Nur-Sultan: ‘Studying under the Pre-Bachelor program, I learned a lot for a few months, got additional knowledge, met new people. Of course, I got the experience of studying at the university, thanks to the teacher who taught me. I think in the future, after graduation, it will be easy for those who studied under this program to join the student body, and there will be no difficulties adapting to the university.’
Kenzhegulov Azat, ‘Entrepreneurship’, KILC College, 3rd year of study, Nur-Sultan: ‘For three months of my studies under the ‘Pre-Bachelor’ program, I learned to be responsible and focused on results.
It was interesting for me to study with freshmen – with smart and hardworking guys. The main advantage of this program is that you can get acquainted with student life much earlier than your peers. Within the program, I chose 3 subjects: Modern History of Kazakhstan, Philosophy, and English. The lessons were intensive and informative. What I liked most of all is the Canvas system, the professionalism of the teachers and, most importantly, the magical atmosphere of KAZGUU.’
Zhylkyshbaeva Aiym, ‘Management’, 11th – grade student, School No. 72, Nur-Sultan: ‘This course has given me a lot. Unlike my peers, I already imagine what it means to be a student. The program of the Pre-Bachelor course exceeded all my expectations. By the end of the course, I realized that I want to get a brilliant education with the M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University.’
The university offers two areas of study:

1) Basic curriculum (general subjects)
2) Main curriculum (major subjects)

Form of study: full-time / distance during the quarantine period (studies take place together with the first-year students).

My name is Kaziyev Adilbek Toleubekuly, I am the 4th year student of M.Narikbayev KAZGUU University, and also the Chairman of Student Self-Governance at this university. KAZGUU students fully support the Address of the Leader of the Nation-Elbasy to the people of Kazakhstan on the need to consolidate in the face of a global epidemic.
As noted by Nursultan Abishevich, hard times have come for our country and the world as a whole, and only those who show the power of true unity can worthily stand up to it, and ultimately defeat the impending threat. As a representative of the young generation, I fully realize my responsibility for the older people and those around me, and I also think about what contribution I can make to the common goal of our state and people.

In his address, the Leader of the Nation pays great attention to the wisdom of our people, part of which is in the words of the enlightener of the Kazakh steppe Abay Kunanbayev, the great Biys and the legendary commander Bauyrzhan Momyshuly. I am sure that we must follow these teachings because they call for unity, friendship, and discipline. It is these qualities that will help our people overcome temporary difficulties with dignity.

Understanding that a person is the main value of our society, and his life, rights, and freedoms are enshrined in the country’s main law – the Constitution, I support the path aimed at developing health care in our country. Significant work is being done by the authorities, but much remains to be done. I believe that we should be steadfast and show inflexible will, especially in such difficult circumstances when a global threat posed a challenge to us.

The figures show that Kazakhstan is currently leading among countries struggling with the coronavirus pandemic, and this once again proves the effectiveness of the measures taken and the need for strict adherence to them. I understand that these measures are aimed at protecting the health of our population, and therefore I understand the temporary inconvenience and believe that the enormous work of our doctors and the resources invested by the state will be enough to “unfreeze” the country’s internal and external economic processes and become ‘open’ to the world again.

Living in the 21st century — the era of information technology, I consciously approach the information I receive and ‘sieve’ it before trusting it. Thus, I consider it true to give credence to the warning of Nursultan Abishevich and stay away from people who spread panic and strife among our people. We are conscious enough to approach every matter wisely, including information processing.

As our rich history shows, we are truly united people who coped with various hardships, and the time has come to prove it again. I believe that together we will be able to overcome any difficulties and achieve all our goals.

On November 28, 2019, the KAZGUU School of Liberal Arts presented another stage performance, dedicated to the life of the great poet and educator Abay Kunanbayev.

The first-year students were able to immerse the audience in the atmosphere of the XIX century through the scenes of the life of Abay and his students. Together with the young stage director Ayan Alimbayev, they showed us Abay as the Father, who experienced the loss of sons; Abay as the Educator, who believed in the triumph of education and in the younger generation. Nevertheless, the main drama was the loneliness of Abay – he did not always find support from his contemporaries. Like many people of his level, the great poet was ahead of time, his thoughts were not the ones of the 19th or even the 20th century. His thoughts are relevant today and will not become obsolete tomorrow.

The interpretation of Abay in this performance caused a lively discussion in the hall, student actors were able to impress the audience.

The tradition of stage performances at M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University is connected with the course of studying the history of Kazakhstan. Within the discipline ‘Modern History of Kazakhstan’, students master not only the theory but also apply their knowledge in practice.

Thus, there is a deeper understanding of the key points in our history. The performance is such an interactive type of studying as visiting museums, trips to the country’s cultural centers, as well as guest lectures organized by the KAZGUU School of Liberal Arts.

KAZGUU University was pleased and honored to welcome Ambassador of India to Kazakhstan Prabhat Kumar today.
⠀

University is grateful to the Embassy of India to Kazakhstan for warm collaboration and support.

Happy Constitution Day, India!

Dear students, teachers and guests!

We invite you to join us on April 1 at 11 am at the Rakugo performance in the KAZGUU library. The event organized with support of the Embassy of Japan in Astana and Academic Diplomatic Club.

The Rakugo history is about 400 years old. Usually it is called as art of comic oral story, because most of miniatures are satirical stories telling about Japanese society, with funny end.

Mr. Eiraku Kanariya, invited guest, is a famous Japanese actor who promotes learning English to Japanese youth through Rakugo.

Date and place of the Rakugo: April 1st at 11:00 am in the KAZGUU library.

As we know the Nauryz word is Persian as Nau – new and ryz – day and translated as a New Day. Due to the fact that word’s roots are Persian people think that the holiday is also Persian. However there is an evidence that Nauryz has Turkic roots.

Prof. Dr. Meting Ekici, Deputy Ambassador of Turkey to UNESCO, is proving that Turkic people have celebrated Nauryz from very long time and called it the New Day. Due to the great migration of the Turkic people from Central Asia to the south-west, Nauryz has been spread among Persians under the New Day name. According to Professor a direct translation of the “Nauryz” word is a well-grounded phenomenon since wthe Persian was used by the Turkic people as a literary language.

Indeed, the spread of Nauryz among the Turks is quite logical. First of all, compared to sedentary Persians the Turks knew well the equinox time. Also, the nomadic Turkic people engaged in animal husbandry knew laws of nature much better and therefore always waited for this day in a special way because they believed that new year starts from Nauryz

Secondly, in Kazakh chronology Nauryz called as the Start of a year (Zhyl basy) and it also proves that Nauryz spread out from Turkic people.

Thirdly, another sign that Nauryz has been celebrated by Kazakhs throughout history is that the Holiday in Kazakh is called as “Ylystyn Uly Kuni”, i.e. “Great Ulus Day”. When almost all Turkic people used the Nauryz Persian word, Kazakh people called it “Great Day of Ulus”.

Fourthly, coincidence of the “Korіsu” holiday, which has been preserved in the western regions of the Country and Nauryz, also proves its wide distribution and ancestral roots.

What is the meaning of the “Ulystyn uly kuni” (“Great Day of Ulus”) phrase? What is the basis of it? At the very beginning, it should be noted that it is the Kazakh meaning of the Nauryz word. The “Ulys” word is rarely used in Kazakh. Therefore, the meaning of this word is understood by no means all. In fact, the “Ulys” (ulus) word is equivalent to the “Halyq” (people) word. Due to the fact that Arabic word “Halyq” (people) has gradually become more common in everyday life, the Persian word “Ulys” eventually went out of words turn. At present, it is still used in the “Ulystyn Uly kuni” phrase.

If we take into account the phenomenon of replacing “s / sh” sounds in the Turkic language with the sound “t” (oshaq = otau, shoshala = toshala, sayaz = tayaz, syqyrlau = tyqyrlau, qilshyq = qyltyq, etc.), then we can prove that and the word “ult” (nation) also comes from the word “ulys”. The ancient Turkic form “ulysh” in the Kazakh language changes first as ulys, then in Kyrgyz as “Ulyt” (ulut), and then supposedly transformed into the form “ult”. The ancient form of “Ulysh” was also in Mongolian. At the time of Genghis Khan, returning from Mongolian, it came in the form of “Ulys” word as a meaning of “state, khanate” words: Chagatai ulus, Juchi ulus, etc. The most interesting thing is that it was included in Russian, and then returned to Kazakhs as a “volost” (region) word. Later on it just transformed to a “bolys” word but the meaning remains the same. Therefore Kazakh has such one rooted words as Ulys, Ult, Bolys but meanings are different.

Recently the work Ult is being actively used while the Ulys form remains only in “Ulystyn Uly Kuni” phrase. In the “Ulys on bolsyn, ak mol bolsyn” (Let the Nation be great and wealthy) Nauryz wish is a wish of well-being to all the people
Thus Nauryz celebrates during the Nauryz month (March) and we’d like it be officially named as “Ulystyn uly mini” (The Great day of Ulus)

Military departments exist in almost every major university in Astana city. This form of training allows students to get lieutenant shoulder straps and necessary knowledge without going to army. Colonel Amangeldy IBRAEV, the head of Military department of KAZGUU University, told how students are trained by trained soldiers within the walls of alma mater.

– How long has the Military department been based at KAZGUU University and how many students are enrolled in it?
– It was formed 21 years ago, while the university was still in Almaty. Last year, we celebrated a jubilee, and over the years more than 8,000 people had military training under the program of officers and sergeants of reserve.

Although our work is still more focused on training reserve officers as a mobilization reserve, a certain number of graduates continue military service under the contract. Among them Azamat Zhumadilov, a holder of the “Khalyk Kakharmany” (national hero) title. Training is carried out for two years, and at the moment, 350 people “serve” from among the first and second year students on the basis of the University. In addition, not only students of our University receive Military trainings. On a basis of signed memorandum of understanding students from Nazarbayev University and Kazakh University of Technology and Business also come to our Military department.

About 10 percent of students continue to serve in the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan. Since the university is the Law institution, students serve in police, military prosecutor’s office, and other military structures.
During two years, future lieutenants study a theoretical part, which ends with a practical part – monthly military gathering on a territory of one of the military units. There, cadets practice shooting skills, drive special equipment, practice combat skills. And after all take a military oath.

A student who wants to study at the Military department must go through four stages of selection. The first is a medical commission, if a cadet is fit for service for health reasons, then he goes to the next round. The second stage is psychological testing, which is conducted in special computer classes under the program of the Ministry of Defense. The third stage – physical condition testing, it includes running at 100 and 3000 meters and pulling up by the number of times. The last stage – students stidy progress. For all the tests student receives points, and first best 90 people get to the “service” under the grant.

From last year, women can now also get a shoulder strap. At the end of this academic year, 27 female lieutenants will receive military ranks. According to Amangeldy Ibraev, girls more distinguished, self-controled, in terms of discipline and diligence can give better than male fellow students. And even show commander skills.
For example, group A-24 is commanded by Zhanerke Kumshayeva, the frail-looking female student. According to her, sheis very much interested at further service in the ranks of the Ministry of Defense.

Over the years, he held posts of Vice-provost for Educational, Methodical and Scientific work, headed a faculty of Justice and Justice bodies, was a director of the Graduate School of International Law and International Relations, and untill January 4th worked as an Academic secretary.

In 2011, our dearest Professor Kystaubai was recognized as the best assistant professor by the Educational-Methodical section of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic. He made a huge contribution tothe Country’s qualified personnel training.

The University staff is deeply saddened and expresses its sincere condolences to the family and relatives for this untimely and heavy loss.

We grieve with you. Colleagues and friends

First of all the Civil society is people, people who care of a country and what’s going on with it. Those people are patriots who wish to contribute for everybody’s better life.

A role of a family, kindergarten, secondary schools and universities is fundamental, when it comes to the Civil Society’s formation. Everything starts in the family when we parents, grandparents influence our kids with said words and done actions. A child starts to lie because we show in our everyday life that it is ok to do so. For example, when our land line is ringing we ask a kid to answer and tell that we are not at home showing that it is allowed to lie, sometimes. We say not to use a cell phone but can’t leave it ourselves.

What’s next, kindergarten where we give presents to tutors meaning they would take better care of our child and kids realize that it is possible to solve all issues through material gifts. In a secondary school some pupils start cheating and it is ok when grading is going on and kids understand that teachers have favourable students or it might be their parents’ social status or gifts that helped with studies.

Classmates usually influence a behavior of children so that they smoke, use inappropriate words and so on. Thus, a certain behavioral coolness among students is determined.

During preparation for the UNT testing, there are cases when teachers teach children to write cheat sheets, hide phones to get high results. In universities, in addition to above mentioned, students are often involved as accomplices of deception (cheating, buying essays, theses and plagiarism). In addition, there are cases when they themselves engage in corrupt activities, bribing teachers and staff for good grades. In such cases, trained to be deceitful, unqualified students are fill jobs in accordance with their specialties.

Damir Shynybekov, the rector of the International University of Information Technologies says: We all know that dynamic changes are taking place in the modern World, which also affect the sphere of education. Along with the modernization of education in the states, there is a growing awareness of the role of the Civil Society in this process. For example, such characteristics of the Civil Society as humanization of social relations, promotion of democratic values, achievement of social unity both at the level of individual regions and countries depend on a successful implementation of continuous education strategy (lifelong learning) from kindergarten to university on a global level.

I have read a lot of interesting things about India in the Jungle book by the English author Rudyard Kipling and watched amazing animated movies and famous Bollywood filmes since my childhood. In consequence, visit in India became one of my dreams.

In this year, on september, my dream come true, to realize it helped me the scholarship of International technical and economic cooperation (ITEC) programme which sponsored by the Ministry of External Affairs, Government of India. I participated in the course Progress to Proficiency (in English) at the English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU), University was founded in 1958, Hyderabad, India.

The EFL University has 7 schools and 26 Departments. There are also research programmes, apart from graduate, postgraduate in this University. Campus has all facilities such as hostels, health center, canteen, gym, and library. The pride of the University is the Ramesh Mohan library. The entire collection of 167 000 books and back volumes have been automated and the same can be accessed with the help of OPAC (Online Public Access Catalogue) within the library.

The course included three months studying subjects such as listening, speaking, reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, presentation skills and prononcuation. The teachers were leading professional in English language, they are certified IELTS experts.

During the course I could improve my English through daily speaking with my friends from of Africa, South Asia, South East Asia, Central Asia, and Latin America. It was a really good opportunity to learn about the culture of different nations around the world. And it is very sad to recognize that the most of them I will never meet again.

ITEC gave me great opportunity to visit a country like India and see a civilization that is over 3,000 years old. I found Indian people very kind, helpfuul and they have an ingenuous smile. ITEC coordinators made to feel us like at home and India became my second home.

Mirkhat Serikbayev, PhD, DBA
Deputy head of Marketing Department of KAZGUU University

On the eve of the Day of the First President at the M. Narikbayev KAZGUU University the Center for the History of Kazakhstan and Ruhani Zhangyru of the General Education School together with the “Sóz cara” Club under the guidance of Ms. Gulbarahin R. Kylyshbai, an Honored Art Worker staged “Kerey-Janibek” that is based on the Ramazan Duman drama. Two epochs met in the hall: heroes of the XV century were sitting with serious faces, on the contrary students of the XXI century as an audience. The heroes of the drama were sitting in one half of the hall – on their faces anxiety, despair. They are in their own time, in character. Someone is quietly talking, other people express pain, others discuss plans. Audience, on the contrary, are excited. And here’s the beginning! The 15th century epoch is becoming clearer. The game of students is fascinating, the audience empathizes and invisibly, mentally moving to the part of the hall where the action takes place. It seems that the first part of the hall has expanded imperceptibly, and the audience is gradually drawn into the events of those times. The spoken words seem to unwittingly express feelings of guests, and it feels that they are all together and demanding justice from Khan Abulkhair, and decide to unite. Here are doubts about rightness of a decision, an expression of mistrust, disputes are also going down. But mostly people follow the Kerey and Janibek sultans into the Zheruiyq lands found by Asan Qaigy. Picture of moving from the inhabited places gets inside the blood. Huge white canvas (symbolically the color of the beginning, purity) turned into the tent of the left alone khan, then it turned into a heavy, but native, burden. This personified hope for the future and demonstrated that nomads take with them only the most important, dear to them things. Succession …, connection with the past. The birth of a child in a new place was marked as a good omen – yrym. “Qazaq is your name, Qazaq is your name, Qazaq is your name!” Says Asan Qaigy. Others understand it as “You are free!”. The Council of Elders decides that the Khanate will be called “Kazak handygy”, and people will be called Kazakhs and will be united Kazakh population. Both halves of the hall are also united. Like in the 15th century, but now in the 21st century, everyone is chanting, “Qazaq!” Qаzаq!”.
Applause are heared in the hall! What was it? Love for the Fatherland? Pride in their ancestors, who managed to fulfill their dreams? The desire to be like them? Dreams to contribute to society?

Yes, all these emotions were on the audiences faces. And, most importantly, it was seen the confidence that they can do it and will do it. And all this united collective in the hall was now took over by the guests: Deputy of the Mazhilis of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Mr. Available Tasbulatov,, Lieutenant-General and Mr. Mukhamedzhan Tazabekov an honored art worker. The audience with bated breath listened to the patriotic, ardent words of Mr. Tasbulatov, calling to love and take care of the Fatherland, the foundations of which were laid and defended by our ancestors And the penetrating speech of Mr. Tazabekov, calling for high morality, purity of relationships, spiritual revival. There was no indifferent person, students left the place being either joyful, or thoughtful.

I applied for GE internship in the April, 2017 and received an invitation for interview. I chose GE because it’s a great opportunity to get work experience while still being a student, it’s a paid internship and it offers flexible working hours. Interviewing process includes three steps: a screening interview from talent acquisition team in Moscow, interview with a Human Resources representative and meeting with a manager of the business you are applying for. After successful interview, I received a job offer for a paid internship for eight months. My duties included to represent innovational GE technologies at EXPO-2017 and to help GE legal department.

Internship was useful for me as an individual. My internship at GE taught me many things. One of the main principles here is meritocracy meaning that employees are rewarded entirely based on their ability and talent. I gained new knowledge about future energy projects from different international pavilions and efficient digital solutions for energy industry provided by GE too. Being at the GE booth at the American Pavilion at the EXPO 2017 taught me how to promote creative ideas, represent a big multinational company and interact with visitors. Moreover, it was interesting for me to meet different people from all around the world, because I could learn something new from them. For example, my English level improved dramatically by being around English speakers which is very important for me in my future career as a lawyer.

When it comes to the internship at GE office, everyone at GE will be ready to help out. If I don’t know something, I can ask for help. That’s how I have been finding answers for my questions. For instance, I have never dealt with commercial contracts between companies, but at GE I learnt how to do that following all necessary policies and procedures. I learnt the basics of business writing, business etiquette and learnt a ton about legal issues. It was such a great experience for me, because I dealt with a delivery of confidential documents, organized business meetings, filled necessary documents out and went through the formal procedures at notary. I was also a part of the project on providing legal and compliance updates to the employees of the company.

To conclude, GE internship is a good opportunity for every student to develop as a future specialist and as an individual. Things like meeting interesting people who you can make friendship with and learning from them, discovering new opportunities, building professional connections, getting work skills, knowledge and experience, organizing business events, making effective phone calls, working on interesting projects, learning on how to be creative and make me motivated to achieve my dreams and professional goals. All mentioned things made me feel a part of something important. I enjoyed my internship and I firmly believe that I will know a lot of things after my internship ends.

Olzhas Rayev, KAZGUU graduate and a special advisor on investments to the RK Embassy in South Korea, is certain of this claim. In this interview, he shares his opinions on the necessity of legal literacy for the active participants of the country’s social life and the contribution that his Alma Mater’s graduates are making to building Kazakhstan’s legal system.

-Olzhas Kairbekovich, what motivated you to study law?

-This decision was largely influenced by my parents. Since childhood, I have been witness to different discussions and debates in the professional environment about various flaws in the legislation, and legal collisions. At that time, the country was only starting on its way to building a state of law. This inspired me to actively participate in this, which is impossible without a good law education.

-Why did you choose KAZGUU?

-There were two reasons: quality of education, that was clearly seen from the feedback of the first students, from the quality of the facilities, and from the quality of the teaching staff. KAZGUU was the only specialised law university. And the second reason was the location. For me, it was important to study in the capital of my homeland. This choice defined all the major events in my life, such as meeting interesting people, many of whom are still my friends. Astana branch grew together with our capital. Proximity to the central bodies of government made it possible to learn not only from the distinguished theorists of KAZGUU, but also the practicing professionals. The range of knowledge that we received through the curriculum eventually defined our competitiveness and fitness to serve the state or work for the private sector.

-How much of your knowledge of law do you apply in your work today?

-Quite a lot. Sometimes I have to learn about the laws of other countries in order to make the right decision. Without a law degree, it would be very difficult to understand the details of certain laws and regulations. Moreover, it is not only the specialised activities of attracting investment or promoting Kazakhstan’s export on foreign markets that are governed by laws and regulations, but also the lives of all of us as economic and legal subjects, so knowing these the law is important for every citizen.

As part of the Labour Law course, KAZGUU Graduate School organises a guest lecture titled “Practical aspects of applying labour law to foreign workers”, which will take place on 3 May 2017, in room 432, between 20.20 and 21.50.

The lecture will be given by Gaukhar Akina, LLM (International Business and Commercial Law) from the University of Manchester, expert in corporate and labour issues in the law firm GRATA.

More detailed information is available from the Postgraduate Department (room 213a, tel. No. 70 33 32).

This was reported by Rapil Zhoshibayev, EXPO-2017 Commissioner, at the meeting with KAZGUU students.

He also noted that KAZGUU continues to be the flagship of higher education in national and international law. Teachers and students of the University are playing an active role in all the important events – conferences, exhibitions, and seminars at the Republican and international level.

-Our campaign of visits to all the major universities before the exhibition is aimed at informing the students and teachers about the forthcoming global event that is so important to our country. Over 300 university students will become volunteers at EXPO-2017. About 50 of them are students of Translation Studies, International Law, and Hospitality. All of them are future specialists and their part in the exhibition will be valuable practical professional experience, the Commissioner noted.

At the meeting, the Commissioner talked about the history of large-scale exhibitions in different countries and answered the students’ questions regarding the forthcoming EXPO-2017

April 27 is the start date of the traditional trips to the cultural and historical centres of Kazakhstan for KAZGUU students.

This year, the plan is to tour around South Kazakhstan, visiting Taraz, Shimkent, and Turkestan.

The trip is organised by KAZGUU Higher School of General Education Disciplines and Language Studies. These trips have already become KAZGUU’s tradition and are part of the new teaching methodology, based on acquiring practical experiences in the process of learning history and culture of Kazakhstan in situ. This stimulates a more effective learning.

This is a long-term project and is first of all directed at popularising the local culture and history among the young people, developing the feelings of patriotism and love for Kazakh values, traditions, customs, and architectural monuments.

How to train highly qualified specialists for Kazakhstan?

This is the task that Samat Panov, a teacher at KAZGUU Higher School of Economics and KAZGUU Business School, has set for himself. Samat is the director and a cofounder of the educational company Marketing Partners LTD, Master of Business Administration, and Edmund S. Muskie fellow. Throughout his 8-year tenure at KAZGUU, Samat Tulegenovich has been sharing his experience of success, and teaching his students to set clear goals, not to be afraid of making mistakes, and to learn valuable lessons from them.

– Samat Tulegenovich, where have you studied and worked?

– I got my first degree in Finance and Credit at the Department of Economics of Karaganda State University. I graduated with honours and stayed there to teach. My following work experience is mostly connected with finance and marketing. In the past 20 years I have worked at KarSU, Temirbank JSC, Astana Finance JSC, National Business magazine, Astana Finance JSC and Tsesna Capital JSC brokerage companies. In 2007 I graduated with honours from the Golden Gate University, San Francisco, USA, under the Edmund S. Muskie Fellowship programme sponsored by the US Department of State. I got my MBA there. My last corporate position was with Tsesna Capital JSC, as a managing director and member of the board. Since 2012 I have been the director of Marketing Partners LTD.

– Which discipline are you teaching at KAZGUU at the moment?

– I started teaching at KAZGUU Business School’s MBA programme in 2009. Since 2015, I have also been teaching at the Higher School of Economics. In this time, I have taught such disciplines as ‘Foundations of Management’, ‘Foundations of Marketing’, ‘Public Speaking’, ‘Advertising Strategy and Promotion’, and ‘Leadership’. At the moment, I am teaching two disciplines: ‘Foundations of Management’ and ‘International Marketing’.

– What affected your decision to combine your main job with teaching at HSE and the Business School?

– I started my career as a teacher at KarSU. Ten years of working at different companies and studying in the US made me convinced that I should teach at a university. I want the young generation to be more competitive, to have the right set of values, to achieve great things. I believe that I can share my knowledge, experience, and my vision with the young people.

– What principles guide you in your teaching?

– When teaching, I use various methods: traditional lectures, discussions, business case analysis, team work, and presentations. The basic idea is that the students should do more independent work, making their own decisions and acting on them. In my view, this is the most effective way to teach. Recently, I have started to end all my lessons with a Q&A session. Students write their questions of pieces of paper, and then take turns to answer them.

In my teaching, I am guided by such principles as openness, result-orientation, punctuality, and integrity. My goal as a teacher is to motivate people to think, make decisions, see future prospects, learn and constantly develop themselves. I always try to help my students to develop time management skills, communication skills, decision making skills, presentation skills, team working skills, and leadership skills. The assignments that I give my students and my system of assessment are aimed at identifying, developing, and mastering these skills. I must encourage the students to develop, learn, make mistakes and draw lessons from them. I also want my students to be honest and highly competent professionals. This is the type of specialists that we lack today.

On 22 April 2017, KAZGUU University opened its doors to more than 150 graduates of the capital’s 30 schools, gymnasiums, and lyceums.

At the Majors Fair, representatives of the Higher School of Economics (HSE), the Higher School of Law (HSL), and the Military Training Department held consultations for the school graduates and their parents, talked about their departments’ achievements and awards. The school graduates got a full picture of the KAZGUU’s student organisations and their activities.

At the meeting, B. Aytenova, Deputy Director of HSL, informed the guests about the main advantages of studying at HSL, and made a presentation about the international internships and future employment opportunities. S. Erbolatova, a HSE representative, addressed the parents and school students, and told them about the academic mobility, dual degree and certification programmes

In addition, KAZGUU students prepared a quest game for the guests that included different tasks challenging their logic and speed of thinking. The graduates of of Astana’s schools visited the forensic polygon, M. Narikbayev Library, the Military Training Department, and other interesting sites within KAZGUU. Some guests enjoyed a weapons exhibition and a shooting range.

Between 8 and 15 April 2017, KAZGUU University team was taking part in the Kazakhstan national and international rounds of the Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition.

In the general rating of the 58th Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition, KAZGUU University team defeated the team from the University of California with a score of 2882 and reached the 91st position in the list of top teams. Notably, KAZGUU overtook Université Paris 2 – Droits de lhomme (France, 94th place), Drexel University (USA, 96th place), Université de Genéve (Switzerland, 110th place) and many other prestigious universities.

KAZGUU team consists of undergraduates students of the Higher School of Law – Zarina Temirbulatova, Madina Arturova, and Alexandra Platoshina – as well as master’s students Ruslan Byurabekov and Ramazan Kokzhalov. The coaches are: Miras Daulenov, vice-Chair of the Board and director of KAZGUU Academy of Legal and Economic Studies; and Alberto Pecoraro, senior lecturer at the Department of International Law.

The results of the Republican Jurisprudence Olympiad have been published. The Olympiad took place on 15 April 2017 at KAZGUU University.

The Jury consisted of representatives of the RK Prosecutor General’s Office, RK Supreme Court, the Republican Bar Association, Astana Department of the Interior, and the Regional Public Organisation “Kazakhstan Bar Association”. The winners of the Olympiad are as follows:

1 prize: KAZGUU University

2 prize: Eurasian Humanities Institute

3 prize: Caspian University

In the individual classification, the podium was shared by the students of KAZGUU University and Caspian University. In addition, Artur Alkhastov, a representative of KAZGUU, made it to the top-10 list. Congratulations to the winners and participants!

According to the data of the national report on the state of the development of the system of education, which was also confirmed by the State Centre for Benefit Payments and the Information and Analytic Centre of the Ministry of Education and Science of RK, demand for the specialists in the field of humanities trained at KAZGUU University is 88%. We are only behind KBTU, which dominates the technical field.

The lowest percentages of employment in the year following graduation, are shown by: International Humanitari-Technical University (44.5%), University of Foreign Languages and Business Career (43%), “Astana” University (42%), and Pavlodar State University (31%).

The high demand for graduates is an indication of the quality of the educational services provided at the univeristy. Throughout its history, KAZGUU has maintained its leading position in one of the most important criteria in education – the quality of graduates. This is supported not only by the high evaluation given to our university by the international and national accreditation agencies, but, which is even more important, by the companies who do not hesitate to employ young specialists with a degree from KAZGUU.

For example, 20% of the staff of the Prosecutor General’s office today are graduates of our university. This is the highest employment rate at the supervisory body among the graduates of all universities in Kazakhstan. Every fifth prosecutor in the country holds a degree from KAZGUU.

Thus, the strategic policy of the University is founded on the main principle – to provide a high-level professional competence for graduates, a status that is to be confirmed by national and international employers.

On the 30th March of 2017 within the framework of the celebratory campaign in honor of the 60th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome, was held a round table with the students of KAZGUU University and professor from the University of Bologna, Professor Marco Borraccetti. Also, was held the opening of the photo exhibition with the topic of “A more united Union: the legacy of the Treaty of Rome for modern Europe”. The event was organized by the Delegation of the European Union in Kazakhstan in cooperation with the Italian Embassy in Kazakhstan and the University of KAZGUU.

Second-year KAZGUU students of Law Enforcement Syrym Beysembekov and Altyn Zeynulla send their greetings to KAZGUU and talk about their impressions of studying at the Russian Academy of Lawyers and Notaries (Moscow) under the academic mobility programme.

Syrym Beysembekov:

“I am a second-year Law Enforcement student. At the moment, I am studying at RALN under the academic mobility programme in Moscow.

First, I would like to express my gratitude to the management team of the Higher School of Law, B. Askarova and other members of the International Department for this opportunity.

Similarity of the two countries’ legislatures, a leading position of the Russian Federation in almost all sectors in the Eurasian continent, and a genuine interest in the Russian culture defined my choice.

The university campus is located near the capital’s main landmarks. The linear system of education is exceptional. Highly qualified teaching staff, opportunities to participate in research conferences organised by the university itself and the capital’s other universities, and opportunities to attend elective courses to develop professional skills – all of these reassured me that I had made the right choice. I especially liked the fact that the teachers devote a lot of attention to the practical aspects, thus, reinforcing the theoretical knowledge acquired in class.

What are the benefits of taking part in this programme? First, this is a great chance to fulfil myself as a person. Being here, thousands of kilometres away from home, you realise what you are really worth. Second, you meet a lot of people, which develops your communication skills. Third, you acquire experience that will sooner or later have an effect on your personal development. And fourth, you will have an advantage in employment.

I encourage all the students of our university to take part in this programme!”

Altyn Zeynulla:

“The RALN academy is famous for their highly qualified teachers who are great at their job and present the material in a way that is accessible to the students. I am also fortunate with my classmates who are fun and outgoing guys, and I have never been bored.

In general, I like it here very much. In the beginning, it was hard and I was homesick and missed KAZGUU, but now I don’t regret coming here, as I think this is a great experience that will help me in the near future.”

A 2^nd-year student of Law Enforcement, Zhaniye Tulenbayeva, is to spend her 2016-2017 spring semester at Seoul National University, Republic of Korea, under the academic mobility programme. Seoul University is the largest and the most well-known university in South Korea, and is located in Seoul. The University occupies the 50^th place in the 2010 international university rating. We would like to wish Zhaniye Tulenbayeva success in her studies!

The international department is honoured to inform that four citizens of Kazakhstan got an opportunity to study in the USA and take part in the 5-week programme of the US Studies Institute for Students “Women and leadership”. Out of four students, two are from KAZGUU University: Zhanna Latysheva (Translation studies, 3^rd year) and Ayim Sabyrova (International Law, 3^rd year); they will go to the USA in June 2017. We congratulate our students on this high achievement. Al the expenses related to the programme are covered by the US Embassy.

This news was announced at the meeting organised by the RK Agency for Civil Service and Anti-Corruption Enforcement, titled “Building the culture of zero tolerance for corruption in the system of higher education”, which was attended by members of RK Parliament, representatives of the RK MOS, deputy heads of regional governments, and heads of higher education institutions.

At the moment, KAZGUU University has all the necessary conditions to completely eradicate corruption. Kazakhstan’s leading law school has been engaged in consistent practices of preventing corruption among the teaching staff and the students.

The anti-corruption efforts at KAZGUU University have been focused on three main areas: effective staff management, effective student assessment, and regular feedback.

For example, KAZGUU University has been one of the first universities in Kazakhstan that launched a Citizen Service Centre. CSC’s work is aimed at developing information openness and transparency of the educational process, building a culture of mutual respect, eradicating corruption factors.

In his speech at the meeting, Talgat Narikbayev, the rector of KAZGUU University, talked about a complex of preventive measures directed at stopping corruption, including the introduction of academic integrity values.

He noted that “the principled stance of the university on fighting corruption, on the one hand, significantly reduces the number of poorly performing students, and, on the other hand, through the implementation of the rating system of evaluation, allows to improve the quality of the teaching staff.

An agreement was reached at the meeting to promote the efforts in building a culture of zero tolerance towards corruption. In particular, a decision was made to hold an anti-corruption marathon that will start at KAZGUU University.

Starting from 16 January, 25 students from KAZGUU Universtiy are undergoing an internship in Kazan. As part of the programme, the students will take part in various team-building trainings; attend lectures on the Customs Union, EurAsEC, and cross-cultural communications; and learn about some specific aspects of conducting business in Russia and the activities of the famous Diplomatic club “G20 YouthModel”. In addition, the rich internship programme includes tours of Kazan’s historical Raifa and Sviyazhsk.

Currently, the best students from KAZGUU, participants of the Exclusive program, are studying and gaining international experience in Europe as part of the research and learning collaboration between KAZGUU Univeristy and the France-Kazakhstan Association.

Between 13 and 22 January, 20 KAZGUU students are planning to visit Brussels, Amsterdam, Koln, and Luxemburg. During their visit, the students have already had a chance to visit the UNESCO office, where they attended a lecture at ISC-Paris Business School.

KAZGUU Exclusive programme is designed to employ a specially developed and effective teaching methodology. The programme includes mandatory visits to foreign countries and meetings with the world’s leading universities and companies.

In order to increase the efficiency of the learning process, KAZGUU University is conducting a planned assessment of teachers’ results in the report period. According to practice, this approach promotes higher quality in education.

First of all, the current ranking system is aimed at incentivising the teachers and raising KAZGUU’s status in the educational space. Rankings motivate teachers to develop their skills; raise their level of professionalism; and promote research, methodological and organisational initiatives. This, in general, has a positive effect on the quality of the graduates and their professional qualification.

Dear students!

We would like to inform you that on 20 December 2016, a few changes were made to the “Regulations of scholarships and discounts for students of KAZGUU University”. In this regard, we kindly ask you to read this document and note that the terms for discount extension have changed. The Regulations take effect in the II semester of the 2016-2017 academic year.

У студентов КАЗГЮУ появилась прекрасная возможность пройти обучение… KAZGUU students will have a great opportunity to study for 1 semester at the University of Leicester under the academic mobility program. The first students to win the “Erasmus+” scholarships are Karatay Nurbike (3rd-year student of Finance) and Omarova Alina (3rd-year student of International Law). The students are going to spend the 2nd semester of the 2016-2017 academic year in Leicester. We wish them a safe trip and success in their studies.

One of the brightest students of KAZGUU, Danabek Kurmantaev, graduated from the university in 1998. He studied at the Judiciary Department. His son Eldos Kurmantay followed in the footsteps of his father, and did not hesitate to choose KAZGUU to continue his education after graduating from secondary school. Now Eldos is a student at the Law Department.

Danabek is a supporter of highly specialised education. He believes that legal professionals should be trained at specialised universities, where they can get all the knowledge necessary for their job. Thus, when the family council sat to discuss the future place of study for Eldos, a member of the next generation, the decision was unanimous.

Currently Danabek is working in the regional subsidiary of JSC “KazMunaiGas” as the head of HR. Prior to this, he spent many years serving at the law enforcement agencies and in the banking system.

According to Danabek, one of the aims for obtaining a high-quality legal education is, first of all, to apply the knowledge acquired at university to further the development of Kazakhstan and its people. Every day graduates of the university demonstrate their high potential and level of professional competence, whatever field they work in. And it is the most essential factor that KAZGUU has been and remains to be an important foundry of talent.

On 12 December 2016, KAZGUU University and the Center for International Legal Studies signed an Agreement of Cooperation. As part of this cooperation, some of the leading legal experts from the USA will be visiting to teach our students.

Dear Nursultan Abishevich!

Over the years of Independence, our country has come a long way of large-scale institutional transformations. The adoption of the main legislative document, the Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan; consistent legal, economic and social reform, aimed at achieving prosperity for the citizens of Kazakhstan; mark the wise policy of the President. Today Kazakhstan is at an important stage in its development, and is a recognised leader of the Central Asian region.

On December 16 1991 the Law on Independence and State Sovereignty was adopted. On that particular day the Kazakh people’s longed-for dream of freedom and independence came true.

2016 was marked by several historically important events, a special place among which is taken by the adoption of the Declaration on the 25^th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s Independence and the erection of the “Independent Kazakhstan” monument. The declaration not only demonstrates what the country has achieved in the past quarter of a century, but also emphasises your personal role in building the independent democratic state.

Please accept our sincere congratulations on the most important state holiday – the Day of the Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan!

Sincerely yours,

T. Narikbayev

Closing remarks have concluded the International Youth Law Forum “The limits of restricting the freedom of speech and distribution of information on the Internet” at KAZGUU. The forum was attended by international experts from Azerbaijan and Bulgaria, and teams from Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan took part in the legal debates. The main topic of the forum was the issues of protecting free speech rights on the Internet and the limits of restricting these rights.

As was noted by the Vice-Chairman of KAZGUU Miras Daulenov, in today’s world there are instances when disseminating destructive information leads to terrorist attacks; and this area must be regulated.

“However, the basic human right to distribute information must not be violated. Our Forum’s goal is to establish the limits, where this freedom ends. With the support of OSCE and Soros we were able to attract experts from Azerbaijan and Bulgaria to share experience in this field”, said Miras Daulenov.

As part of the first (distance) stage of the competition, student teams submitted their memorandums, which reflected two legal positions: “for maximum restrictions” on freedom of speech and distribution of information on the Internet; and “against maximum restrictions”. The memorandums were assessed by three experts in Human Rights and Media Regulation. At the end of the distance stage, 16 teams were selected to participate in the live event. These teams met in the next stage of the competition on 9 December; and only two of them made it to the finals.

At the end of the final stage of the competition, the title of the Winner and the prize of 200,000 tenge were given to the team from Taras Shevchenko KNU. The second prize went to the KAZGUU team, who received 150,000 tenge. In addition, the expert panel awarded four members of the audience who asked the most interesting and relevant questions.

This news was announced at the first meeting of the KAZGUU University’s inaugural conference of the Alumni Association. The meeting was held in Almaty and was attended by graduates of the university, well-known researchers, lawyers, and businessmen of Kazakhstan.

At the conference, the participants discussed the future activities of KAZGUU Alumni Association. The Constitution of the organisation was adopted and the head was elected by a unanimous vote. The newly elected President of the Association, N. Uteshev, is an alumnus of the university, a former vice-rector of KAZGUU, well-know public figure, and currently the head of the Centre for Support for Civil Initiatives.

Defining the goals for the future, Nurlan Uteshev noted, that the activities of the Association will be directed at consolidating the graduates of the university around the political vision of President Nazarbayev of strengthening Kazakhstan as a a state of law.

“We will make every possible effort to raise the public legal awareness, promote law and order, support lawyers’ legal work, drawing public attention to the pressing issues of the development of Kazakhstan’s legal sphere”, emphasised the President of the Association.

He noted that in the near future, the members of the Association will open branches of the organisation in different regions of Kazakhstan and abroad, and consider the proposal for establishing a Board of Trustees and an Executive Committee of the Association.

In addition, the members of the Association are planning to develop collaboration between lawyers at all levels; strengthen the connection between legal science, education, and practice; create conditions for active professional and public involvement of all the members of the Association.

The idea of creating the KAZGUU Alumni Association was first voiced at the October 2016 Alumni Reunion dedicated to the 25th anniversary of Kazakhstan’s Independence and the 22nd anniversary of the university.

On the 7th of December at KAZGUU University was held a guest lecture with the lawyers of International Law Firm REED SMITH, UK. Lecturers were Dina Nazagalina with lecture on “Denial of Justice in International Law” and Suzie Savage with topic about “Life as an English lawyer”. Participants as 2nd year students, Master and PhD students were very interested and extensively participated in Q&A sessions.

The BRICS Seminar, held by the Ambassadors of the BRICS Organization (Brasil, Russian Federation, India, China and South Africa) on the topic “Outcomes of the BRICS Summit held in Goa, the Republic of India on 15-16 October, 2016” took place on 29 November at KAZGUU Academic diplomatic club.

This was announced today by the Minister of Justice of Kazakhstan Marat Beketayev at the international applied research conference on developing forensic capacity in Kazakhstan.

Participants of the conference discussed the actions to be taken in order to create a competitive market of forensic services in the country, and the issues of implementing a model of a phased de-monopolization of forensic activities.

The head of the Ministry of Justice noted that the development of the state judicial system requires improvement of many different institutions, including the system of forensic expertise. In the near future, the plan is to consider creating a chamber of private forensic experts in Kazakhstan, and to study the practical issues in the field of forensics.

The work on improving the institute of forensic expertise in Kazakhstan is planned to be carried out gradually, as part of “Strengthening forensic capacity”, a joint project between KazGUU University and the Ministry of Justice of Kazakhstan, supported by World Bank. This project is scheduled to complete in 2018 and involves international experts in education and law, including Key Forensic Services Ltd (KFS), a leading company in the field of forensic services; King’s College London (KCL), a major state research university; QPA Strategies Ltd. (QPA), and Astana Garant Consulting (AGC).

According to Zhanat Eshmagambetov, Deputy Minister of Justice of Kazakhstan, today all the forensic services are provided in one place.

The representative of the Ministry noted in his report: “In 2016 we have completed the process of centralising all forensic functions in one expert body – Ministry of Justice. Today it provides 29 types of forensic services in 55 specialist categories. At the moment, we are working towards improving the quality of forensic services to meet international accreditation standards. This is necessary for forensic reports produced in Kazakhstan to be recognised in foreign courts”..

Currently, there are more than 100 private forensic experts working in Kazakhstan that provide forensic services on the basis of a state licence, which ensures the existence of an alternative to state institutions in the field of forensic services. The Ministry is certain that the institute of private forensic experts will create a competitive environment in this field.

“The development of a non-government system of forensic services through establishing a chamber of forensic experts is one of the provisions of the Bill on Forensic Expertise, which is currently pending in the Parliament”, informed Z. Eshmagambetov.

As was noted by M. Beketayev, the analysis of the field of forensics that was conducted by international experts will serve as a basis for a new degree programme at one of the partners of the project – KazGUU University, the leading law school in the country.

As part of the joint project, three studies will be conducted, including “Development and pilot testing of efficiency indicators of forensic activities”, “Modernisation of legislative and institutional bases of forensic expertise”, and “Raising the qualification of forensic expertise personnel”.
