On November 25, 2024, as part of a historical and educational evening, a meeting titled “Alaş Leaders and National Interests” took place. The guest of honor was Salkynbek Dosaly Isakhanuly, an academician of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of Kazakhstan, Honored Worker of Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Honorary Citizen of Arys City, and a professor at Satbayev University.

During the meeting, the professor shared valuable historical archival data about the political life and unforgettable contributions of patriotic Kazakh intellectuals. Among those who aspired for the sovereignty of the Kazakh people were prominent figures of the Alaş movement: Alikhan Bokeikhan, Khalel Dosmukhamedov, Mustafa Shokay, Mirzhakyp Dulatov, Mukhamedzhan Tynyshbaev, and others.

The goal of the Alaş leaders was unified: to make Kazakhs an independent nation, to elevate the country among developed states, and to enlighten and educate the people. For this cause, these esteemed sons of the Kazakh nation did not fear for their own lives but worried for the future of their descendants. Students listened to the professor with great interest, asked questions, and engaged in lively discussions.
