As part of promoting the principle of “Law and Order,” a discussion session entitled “Legal Education for Young People – The Foundation of the Fight Against Corruption Worldwide” was held at Toraighyrov University. The goal of the meeting was to raise the legal awareness of young people and foster an anti-corruption mindset.

Toraighyrov University goes beyond its educational mission, systematically implementing its third mission — serving society. In this context, the university, in cooperation with regional and national organizations, promotes the development of legal awareness among the younger generation and strengthens civic culture.

The discussion brought together representatives of government agencies, public organizations, faculty, and students.

A specially invited speaker, Deputy Chairman of the National Anti-Corruption Movement “Zhanaru,” Doctor of Philosophy, and Academician Beibut Mamrayev, emphasized that young people’s legal literacy is a key factor in preventing corruption.

“One of the foundations of anti-corruption work is raising young people’s legal awareness, strengthening their mindset, and shaping their values. The views of future specialists must be open and receptive,” noted Beybit Mamrayev.

The Mazhilis member of the Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nikolai Arsyutin, who attended the event and met with students, underlined the importance of upholding the rule of law and principles of justice.

“The principles we promote today are honesty, responsibility, and respect for the law. They directly influence the quality of future personnel. I am confident that through joint efforts, we can create a favorable environment where these values prevail. In this regard, we plan to open a Financial Monitoring Office at the university, where dual education programs will be implemented,” said Galiaskar Kasymov.
