During the meeting there was a casual conversation and exchange of views.

- I am absolutely agree with You. Today time is changing fast, the demands are quite different, therefore, in modern conditions students must be studied at such a well-equipped University – the Chairman of the regional Veterans Council A. Sherubayev said.

- Indeed, here so many  honorary professors worked, but it should be noted that fifty percent of them did not know how to use a computer. In the teaching process we use modern design software, which are used in enterprises, so it is important that graduates of our University are able to work confidently with these programs,  N.Kulenova  said.

At the end of the meeting the Chairman of the primary Veteran organization of S. Amanzholova EKSU L. Aubakirova read the poem to the audience.
