Rector of S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University Aryn Orsariyev met with students-orphans and students deprived of parental care.

A traditional pre-New Year meeting is held to support students deprived of parental care and to encourage them to participate in the social activity carried out by the University. 

In his speech Rector noted that “the University successfully implements social projects and programs, which are aimed at rendering assistance to students from vulnerable groups. Aryn Orsariyev gave the audience detailed information about special social benefits provided for this group of students. According to A. Orsariyev, PSU grants educational discounts and benefits for orphans and also offers them free accommodation and meals. Beside this, students deprived of parental care are entitled to free public transport. 

PSU holds an annual social campaign titled “Mercifulness”, under which parentless students are given warm winter clothing. There are some students who are wholly dependent on the government. Students from vulnerable groups are given necessary clothing and linen during the first year of studies and at the end of the final year they receive a non-recurring payment.

Seventy students or thereabout attended the meeting. 

Rector of S. Toraighyrov PSU Aryn Orsariyev, a person having a strong life philosophy, said: “You have had a hard life. In point of fact, many of you are already mature enough to know exactly what to do in order to succeed in life. That is why there is no need to remind you that education courses at our University will open doors to your successful future. Now, I want you to focus your attention on something very important. As you see, we live in a fast-changing world where something that seems to be unshakeable today may lose its value tomorrow. But you have something that will help you withstand all difficulties at all times – it is your knowledge and professionalism. In its turn, the University will do its best to help you become real professionals having fundamental knowledge of the respective sphere and to lead the way to a deeper understanding of life.” 

He vouched his warm words by New Year’s gifts. The event featured performances by soloists of the student philharmonic, Jam Dance Studio and the Diamond student team.
