At Shoqan, we are a future-driven community.

It is amazing how SHOQAN SCHOOL , which Aselle Tasmagambetova and I founded just five years ago, has become one of the leading educational institutions in Central Asia so quickly.

As I said the other day, kudos to Aselle for all her leadership.

We are now an institution whose students are admitted to some of the world's top universities—Harvard and Berkeley, for example. But beyond that, we are an educational community that works around the idea of personalized education, where everyone chooses his or her own path, and where than path is protected and respected.

Where everyone has a voice and the ability to decide their future.

An essential part of the school's community is the genuine exchange of ideas and experiences. This weekend, we met with our community at the Shoqan Parents Forum 2025. A forum where the parents of our students, our teachers, and ourselves openly explained insights, analyzed future challenges, explored best practices, and shared personal stories.

When it comes to education, we can only grow through mutual understanding, mutual support and the fresh perspectives we all contribute to our educational process. We believe in openness, transparency, and support as cornerstones of the educational journey.

Thank you to everyone who joined us. We are building the path for our children and future generations in Kazakhstan together.
