The meeting held special significance. Kapira Saduakassova’s life and professional career are closely connected with the history of Ozbekali Zhanibekov South Kazakhstan Pedagogical University. For many years, she worked at the M. Auezov Shymkent Pedagogical Institute, where she educated and mentored numerous generations of students.

Thus, the two distinguished figures are united by the history of a shared academic institution, their professional cooperation, and their lifelong dedication to education.

During the meeting, Onalbay Ayashev conveyed sincere wishes on behalf of the university community and expressed gratitude to Kapira Saduakassova for her invaluable contribution to the development of national education and science, as well as to the upbringing of the younger generation.

Kapira Saduakassova, who turned 101 this year, devoted more than half a century to higher education and mentored many generations of students. She continued lecturing until the age of 96 and remained actively involved in academic and teaching activities. Her life is an inspiring example of devotion to one’s profession, profound respect for knowledge, and selfless service to the education of future generations.

Respect for a teacher is respect for the nation. Honoring the exemplary life and remarkable work of a scholar who has passed the century mark is a civic duty of the generations that follow.

We wish Kapira Saduakassova strong health, many more years of life, prosperity, and happiness surrounded by her family and loved ones!
