The traditional Toraighyrov readings were held for the ninth time at S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University. The international conference began its work under the auspices of the "Rukhani zhangyru"state program.

Petr Bykov, an acting rector, Candidate of Technical Sciences noted in a welcoming speech to the audience, that our task is to work on strengthening the national historical consciousness.

"The memory of our great ancestors is an object of national heritage. Our future is in our hands, but without the memory of the past it is impossible. Sultanmakhmut Toraighyrov is Kazakh educator, whose creative heritage enriched the Kazakh literature of the beginning of the 20th century with social and philosophical poetry, genre and artistic diversity", Petr Olegovich said.

Asking about the future of people, Sultanmakhmut Toraighyrov put education, culture, science, technology first. In his view, in education and teaching a great place should be devoted to conscience, soul, spirituality. And today, his parting words find fertile ground in the new generation.

Toraighyrov.
