Today, a round table entitled “The New Constitution: The Legal Foundation of a Just Kazakhstan” was held at the Faculty of Philology of our University. The discussion was moderated by Yedil Tolegenov, Vice-Rector for Social and Cultural Development.

The main purpose of the event was to discuss constitutional reforms significant for the country’s future, explore improvements in public administration, reinforce the priority of human rights, and provide a scholarly analysis of the changes that form the foundation for elevating the state to a qualitatively new level, while fostering open dialogue.

The first address was delivered by Rector Zhanar Temirbekova, who presented a report entitled “Constitutional Reforms and National Values: Legal Foundations for Building a Just Society.” She emphasized the historical significance of the referendum, stating:

“The Constitution is the Fundamental Law that defines the character of the state. Therefore, the referendum is an important stage at which a responsible choice is made for the fate of the country.”

Next, Dean of the Faculty of Law Aliya Kassymbek spoke on “Constitutional Reform: What Every Citizen Should Know.” She elaborated on the substance of the new amendments, paying particular attention to issues of digital security and the protection of human dignity. According to the speaker, the second section of the Constitution is one of its most comprehensive parts, defining human rights in accordance with international standards.

Marat Bektemiruly, Secretary of the Turkestan Regional Football Federation and a legal expert, highlighted the importance of presenting the draft Constitution for public discussion, noting the expanded opportunities for citizens to participate directly in public governance.

Bakdaulet Sailau, a master’s student of the Faculty of Law, delivered a presentation entitled “The Legal Nature and Social Significance of the Draft New Constitution.” He concluded his speech with the well-known words of Alikhan Bokeikhanov:

“Service to the nation arises not from knowledge, but from character.”

Meanwhile, Karakat Moldash, a student of the same faculty, shared her thoughts on “Referendum – A Step Toward a Just Society,” describing the referendum as a platform for open dialogue between the people and the government.
