«Today we live in a digital society with a changing infrastructure. It is important to note that modern students have completely changed their attitude to the educational process, while Universities around the world have already switched to digital format of knowledge transfer. The generation «Z» is not ready to accept information on outmoded technology. Therefore, KazNU is very active in this direction», said Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, Askar Khikmetov.

It is not a secret that the process of automating educational processes is somewhat slowed down here, teaching goes more difficult than the progress of the technologies themselves. Therefore, holding such seminars is necessary - in a working format, at practical sessions, experts share opinions, get answers to questions arising in the course of work.

The future of digital Kazakhstan is when every inhabitant of the country makes dozens of important manipulations with the help of a smartphone or a computer, without spending the most valuable resource on it - time. And this future starts today.
