"Law and order are the guarantee of society"

In line with Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) «Quality Education» which aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, an open advisor hour was held on October 8th. The event, themed ‘Law and Order – The Guarantee of Society,’ was organized for second-year students majoring in ‘6B01601 – History.’ Dedicated to the issues of legality, law enforcement, and youth digital safety, the session featured Shynar Dastankyzy Sovetkhan, Senior Lecturer at the Department of Civil Law, Civil Procedure, and Labor Law of the Faculty of Law at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University.
Shynar Dastankyzy used accessible explanations and real-world examples to show future historians that obeying the law is not just a duty, but the foundation of personal safety and national stability. "The law establishes equal rights and duties for everyone. Every young citizen must firmly remember the rule that 'ignorance of the law is no excuse,'" Shynar Dastankyzy emphasized.
The lecture-discussion placed special emphasis on the country’s main law. The speaker reminded the students that the updated Constitution of the Republic of Kazakhstan, adopted in the March referendum of this year, officially entered into force on July 1, becoming the primary guide for Kazakhstan's entire legal system.
The most pressing topic of modern times—the internet—was also addressed. Together with the expert, students thoroughly examined the concept of "digital integrity" and discussed how to avoid becoming a victim or an unwitting accomplice to online offenses, given the rapid growth of digital services.
The meeting took place in the format of an open, lively dialogue. Students actively asked questions regarding their rights and responsibilities, proving once again that today's youth are highly motivated to increase their legal literacy.
