A visit to the Akhmet Baitursynuly house museum
On 15 September, first-year students of groups УА-26-2р, DM-26-2р and ЕБ-26-2р visited the house museum of Akhmet Baitursynuly in Almaty. The visit was organised by teacher E. A. Rayeva.
Akhmet Baitursynuly was a linguist, educator and public figure, the author of the reformed Kazakh alphabet known as Töte zhazu and of the first Kazakh primer. The museum keeps his manuscripts, books and documents.
The students explored the exhibition and heard the story of Baitursynuly’s life and legacy. A group photo in the museum hall was taken to remember the visit.
Meetings with history like this are part of studying at META: it matters to know the people who stood at the origins of Kazakh scholarship and education.
