On 21st September 2018, Kostanay State Pedagogical University organised an international forum called "Current Problems and Perspectives of Strategic Partnerships in the Field of Higher Education: Joint Programmes".
Participants from Kazakhstan and from abroad came to discuss the issue of internationalization of higher education institutions and strategic partnership between Kazakhstani and foreign universities.
Prof. Yerkin Abil, Rector of the University, opened the forum. It was organized in the form of a panel discussion (or round table); therefore every participant could join the discussion at any time. The languages of the forum were English and Russian; the moderator was Eva Smetanova, Vice-Rector for Internationalization. The guests shared their opinions on the issue of internationalisation in person, as well as online. All video-materials can be watched on the Youtube channel of our University at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkdmsISji8ZuoHHNKq3JUoBwodbB4GSTB.
The KSPU Deans presented their faculties: they talked about the mission of their faculties, goals they have achieved, and about their plans to the future. They introduced the study programmes offered by each department, highlighting most interesting subjects or disciplines. The Vice-Deans, Heads of Departments and other representatives of KSPU also contributed and the the discussion was fruitful and interesting.
A special event for our guests was an excursion around the university.
The Centre of International Relations and Academic Mobility would like to express its gratitude to all the KSPU staff members and students, who supported such a serious event. Thanks to their assistance and contribution, the forum was a success. The results of the discussion will be summarised in a book: collection of academic articles, published in Slovakia.
