On April 24–25, 2026, the Republican Subject Olympiad in the Kazakh Language was held at the Institute of Philology of the Kazakh National Women's Teacher Training University. The event was organized by the Department of Theory and Methodology of Kazakh Linguistics and brought together students of non-Kazakh ethnic backgrounds from higher education institutions across Kazakhstan.
Nineteen university teams from different regions of the country participated in the competition. As a result, the team of Khoja Akhmet Yassawi International Kazakh-Turkish University achieved an outstanding result and won the Grand Prix for the first time in the university’s history.
The Olympiad consisted of two stages. During the first stage, participants prepared presentations on the topic “My University and I,” demonstrating their creativity and language proficiency. The second stage focused on reading comprehension. Participants selected one of the proposed texts, read it within three minutes, and then answered questions based on its content.
