to Close the Universities called on the President

Nursultan Nazarbayev announced the need to close a number of higher educational institutions, as it is important not quantity but quality. Many Universities should be extended to the level of the Nazarbayev University. Head of Republic believes that each school needs to be a scientific center, a private research laboratory in which to produce anything. The President noted that all higher education institutions should collaborate with businesses to create commercialization.

'You can see for yourself all know what universities all over the world now. Now every day in the Ministry of education be willing to open the University. We have 131 the UNIVERSITY, we need to reduce them, it is necessary to improve the quality, not quantity. Conventional universities were ahead, so when these universities go from the system and will be independent, we will not be able to give them grants, but people will explain that they will not be able to receive any education about them,' the President said at the presentation of books and manuals.

In order to save the UNIVERSITY, you must make it fit for the modern world and the younger generation should understand that they study not for the diploma.

'Now there are many who have two or three education, and work can't find. If students will be interested in the business, it will be a real University. We the people of Kazakhstan, we all want to be lawyers, economists, businessmen. Where are they now? There is no demand for these specialties.' - said Nursultan Nazarbayev.
