On February 5, 2026, an open-format lecture-meeting was held at the university on the topic “Legal Literacy and the Prevention of Corruption Risks,” targeting students and faculty members. The primary goal of the event was to enhance students’ legal awareness, foster civic responsibility, and explain the core directions of anti-corruption policy. The session was delivered by invited experts from the Academy of the National Security Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan — Azamat Didarovich Tazabekov and Aset Aidosovich Zhaulibekov — who conducted an informative and engaging lecture.

During the meeting, the speakers elaborated on the legal foundations of anti-corruption measures as outlined in the current legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, including the Law “On Combating Corruption,” as well as relevant articles of the Criminal Code and the Code of Administrative Offenses. Students were provided with comprehensive explanations of the legal nature of corruption, its negative societal consequences, mechanisms for early prevention, and the types of legal responsibility applicable to corruption-related offenses — including disciplinary, administrative, and criminal sanctions.

The presentation materials included official statistics for the year 2024: 1,493 individuals were detained for corruption-related crimes, and 486.5 billion tenge were returned to the state. A substantial portion of these funds was allocated to social infrastructure, notably the construction of 56 schools. The speakers emphasized the importance of proactive prevention measures, legal monitoring mechanisms, and transparent budgetary planning as critical pillars of the national anti-corruption strategy.

Particular attention was given to the role of youth in building a culture of zero tolerance toward corruption. The lecturers stressed the need for systematic legal education, the integration of academic integrity principles, and adherence to ethical standards within the educational environment. Participants were introduced to official channels for reporting corruption offenses, including call centers and digital platforms. Exemplary initiatives such as “Anti-Corruption Volunteering” and “Pathway to Business” were presented as successful models for promoting legal consciousness among young people.

At the conclusion of the session, attendees posed practical questions, which received detailed and legally substantiated responses. The event was viewed as a productive forum for dialogue between legal experts and students, supporting the development of legal competence and a culture of lawfulness in higher education.
