Al-Farabi Kazakh National University successfully presented its educational and scientific potential at one of the largest venues in Southeast Asia, the Indonesia International Education & Training Expo (IIETE), held in February 2026 in Jakarta.

Participation in IIETE, which annually gathers the leaders of the global education market under the arches of the Jakarta International Convention Center, has become an important step for KazNU in implementing a global internationalization strategy. The exhibition brought together about 200 exhibitors and attracted the attention of more than 35,000 visitors, including not only future students and their parents, but also experts in the field of international recruitment.

During the event, the KazNU delegation held a series of public presentations in English. Indonesian youth received comprehensive information about the benefits of studying in Kazakhstan, admission conditions and unique educational programs of the university. The audience's special attention was drawn to medical and technical training areas, which are traditionally in high demand in the region.

Individual work at the stand made it possible to reach a wide audience: representatives of the university conducted more than 500 personal consultations. The result of this activity was the formation of a promising pool of 180 "leaders" – applicants who are already considering al-Farabi Kazakh National University as a priority place for higher education in the 2026-27 academic year. In addition to working with applicants, the visit to Jakarta was full of business negotiations. The university team held working meetings with the leadership of Indonesian universities, representatives of local schools and international recruitment agencies.

The main outcome of the meetings was preliminary agreements on: systematic attraction (recruitment) of international students; organization of joint career guidance events; active promotion of KazNU educational brands in the Southeast Asian market.

The Republic of Indonesia, with its enormous demographic potential, is a strategically important region for the Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. As the representatives of the delegation noted, the sustained interest from Indonesian citizens confirms the high competitiveness of Kazakh education at the global level. Participation in the IIETE 2026 exhibition not only allowed to expand the geography of the university's presence, but also consolidated KazNU's status as a leading educational hub attractive to talented youth from all over the world.
