The youthful energy should have a clear purpose and be resilient enough to face life's challenges. There is no other way," he said. First and foremost, we need to educate and become spiritually literate to improve the spiritual culture of children. The nation's educated youth will determine its future and present. Regardless of the era, the Kazakh people have always known that the education of the next generation is the fate of the nation, the future of the nation," S. Sydykov said.
