Scientists of Kozybayev University Discussed the Draft of the New Constitution of Kazakhstan

Scientists of Kozybayev University discussed the draft of the new Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The event was attended by staff of the Department of Science, members of the Council of Young Scientists, and representatives of research centers.

The new Constitution is a solid foundation for our future, responding to the challenges of the time and strengthening the country’s independence and statehood in the context of a changing world. At its core lies the highest value - the individual, their rights and freedoms. The idea of justice, dignity, and protection of every citizen runs as a central theme throughout the document.

“The main goal of the upcoming referendum is to improve the country’s legal and political system, as well as to create conditions for increasing the level of justice and equality in society. Thanks to these changes, every citizen will gain more opportunities for direct participation in the process of making key political decisions, which will ultimately contribute to strengthening trust between the population and state institutions,” noted Member of the Executive Board for Science and Innovation Anuarbek Kakabayev.

For the first time, special attention in the Constitution is given to education, science, and innovation, opening new horizons for the development of Kazakhstanis, creating opportunities for the self-realization of young people, and forming a solid foundation for the country’s prosperity.

“The draft of the new Constitution contains an aspect that is especially important for the academic community - the role of science, education, and innovation in the country’s development. In the text of the document, these areas are defined as one of the value guidelines for the development of the state. In fact, this means that the future of the country is linked not only with economic resources or institutional reforms, but also with the development of human capital - knowledge, research, and technology. For universities, this is an important signal. When science and education are закреплены at the level of the Basic Law, they cease to be perceived as a secondary sphere and become part of the strategic development model of the state. This means that universities are viewed not only as educational institutions but also as centers for generating knowledge, conducting scientific research, and developing innovation,” expressed her point of view Anna Kornilova, Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences.

Overall, the scientists expressed their support for the new draft Constitution, emphasizing that it will serve as a guideline reflecting the maturity of society and its readiness to build the future on the principles of justice, openness, and respect for the individual.
