On November 10, 2026, a memorandum of cooperation was signed between Zhumabek Akhmetuly Tashenev University and the Shymkent Branch of the National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The document was signed by the Rector of the University, Zhanar Rysbekova, and the Director of the Shymkent Branch of the National Bank, Anuar Botanbekov.

The primary purpose of the memorandum is to strengthen cooperation between the educational and financial sectors, improve students’ financial literacy, and implement joint projects aimed at training qualified specialists for the country’s financial sector.

In her remarks, Rector Zhanar Rysbekova emphasized the importance of cooperation between educational institutions and financial organizations:

“Today, the higher education system is responsible not only for providing theoretical knowledge but also for training specialists who meet the actual demands of the labor market. Cooperation with the National Bank will allow our students to gain a deeper understanding of the practical aspects of the financial sector, develop their professional competencies, and apply the knowledge they have acquired in practice. We are committed to ensuring that this partnership delivers tangible results,” the Rector noted.

In turn, Anuar Botanbekov, Director of the Shymkent Branch of the National Bank, highlighted the importance of such initiatives in improving financial literacy and developing the professional potential of young specialists:

“Financial literacy is one of the most important skills in modern society. It is particularly important for the younger generation to develop a thorough understanding of monetary circulation, the financial system, banking activities, and economic processes. Joint work with the University will help combine students’ theoretical knowledge with practical experience and contribute to the professional development of future financial specialists,” said Anuar Botanbekov.

The teaching staff of the Faculty of Economics and Law, employees of the University’s Department for the Organization and Planning of the Educational Process, and Aliya Moldakhanova, Chief Specialist of the Statistics Department of the Shymkent Branch of the National Bank, participated in organizing and implementing the joint work.

It should be noted that the memorandum was signed ahead of Kazakhstan’s National Currency Day, celebrated on November 15. This date highlights the importance of the financial system, the role of the national currency in ensuring economic stability, and the need to develop financial awareness among the younger generation.

Tashenev University will continue strengthening cooperation between education, science, and the production sector while expanding strategic partnerships aimed at supporting students’ professional development.
