The strategic guidelines presented by the Ministry indicate the transition of the higher education system from quantitative indicators to concrete results — the quality of specialist training, the demand for graduates and the international competitiveness of universities.
For the KSTU named after Academician Zulkharnai Aldamzhar, these areas are of particular importance.

Equally important areas will be the integration of artificial intelligence into the educational process, improving the content of educational programs, expanding dual education and strengthening partnerships with employers in Kostanay region.

Following the meeting, the university intends to update the priority areas of its activities, develop specific measures to implement international agreements and strengthen efforts to improve the quality of specialist training.
