Now there are more than 21 thousand people studying there. She emphasized the particular importance of the teacher education programs provided by this university.

“For Kazakhstan, which now has many children and students, it is important that there are enough highly educated teachers,” - noted British Ambassador to Kazakhstan Katie Leach

In particular, the university will offer training to obtain the status of an internationally qualified teacher. This is a project of the National Institute for Advanced Teaching (NITE) at Coventry University. It is the world's leading center for teacher training.
