An open class in the format of a round table titled “The Book as the Spiritual Treasure of Humanity” was organized by first-year master’s student Orazaly Dana from the Department of Mathematical and Computer Modeling, Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, 91传媒 Kazakh National University. The event was attended by the Head of the Department, Saule Dzhumakanovna Mausumbekova, Deputy Head of the Department for Academic and Educational Affairs Lida Absultanovna Sagimbayeva, and third-year students.
The session began with the words of the great Turkic poet Alisher Navoi: “A book is the most valuable treasure that demands no payment for wisdom.” It was noted that April 23 is a special day for book lovers. This date was not chosen randomly; it has deep historical and symbolic significance. The main purpose of this day is to promote reading, respect authors’ work, and preserve literary heritage.
During the session, students actively participated, introduced their favorite authors, and shared insights from the books they had read. To increase engagement, activities such as “Continue the proverb” and “Question and Answer” were conducted. The most active student received Sayin Muratbekov’s book “The Smell of Wormwood” as a symbolic gift. Students also shared their impressions after attending the play “The Smell of Wormwood” at the Gabit Musrepov Theater for Children and Youth.
At the end of the session, the Head of the Department, Saule Dzhumakanovna Mausumbekova, shared her reading experience and provided an overview of Mukhtar Magauin’s works, emphasizing their historical and educational significance and encouraging students to study national literary heritage more deeply. Her speech increased students’ interest in reading and guided them toward appreciating spiritual values. Deputy Head of the Department Lida Absultanovna Sagimbayeva spoke about the “Reading Nation” project implemented within the framework of the concept proposed by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, highlighting the importance of reading for the future of the nation.
Thus, April 23 is not just a date on the calendar, but a meaningful day that promotes the value of books, leads to spiritual enrichment, and fosters respect for knowledge and creativity. It encourages everyone to read and develop their thinking. We believe that we have made a small but meaningful contribution to this noble initiative.
