At today's event, we got acquainted with the exhibition of young scientists of the Kazakh National Women's Pedagogical University who are engaged in science and working in laboratories. For our country, the development of science in the general engineering and technical direction, as well as the improvement of production, is very important. On this occasion, we saw handmade soap products made by our youth and got acquainted with research work aimed at increasing their usefulness through effective technological processes. I would like to say to young people, especially our girls who are on the path of science - it is necessary to continue science. The scientific research that has been started cannot be stopped. Therefore, I wish success to the students studying for their bachelor's degree! I wish them to continue their education in the master's and doctoral programs in the future and make their contribution to the training of scientific personnel of our country at the Kazakh National Women's Pedagogical University," said Akerke Abylaikhan, Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Higher and Postgraduate Education of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
