As the President of Kazakhstan K.Tokayev noted in his address to the people from 02.09.2019: “... it is important to develop massive sports among all age groups. The development of massive physical culture should become a pyramid, on the top of which there will be new Champions, and at its basis we will get healthy, active youth and, ultimately, strong nation”.

Teachers of the Foreign Languages Department gave a very good example to their students, first of all, clearly demonstrating their active life position.
