On May 20, 2022, the Office of Institutional Efficiency organized a guest lecture on the topic: «Trends and prospects for postgraduate education» by Gulzira Estekova, the operations director of the Almaly corporate business school, candidate of economic sciences, PhD. Teaching staff, doctoral students and employees of structural divisions of the university listened to the lecture.

Topics for discussion about the current problems of the modern educational process highlighted in connection with the constant increase for information and, at the same time, the rapid obsolescence of knowledge. As the researchers note, «In the modern world, the «life cycle» of knowledge and skills is very short. There is a special unit for measuring the obsolescence of a specialist`s knowledge - the so-called «competence half-life».

Thus, modern education should first, teach to think process information and apply the acquired knowledge in life. The university graduates themselves, who believe that higher education today should teach the ability to reason and think outside the box, be able to learn, work with a lot of information, and confirm this.

Questions about key trends that will change the labor market also considered.

The lecture held at a high-qualified level. During the lecture, the audience asked questions, feedback was established, and a discussion actively held.

In general, the lecture was very interesting and relevant. The lecturer answered all the questions of the audience, gave examples from personal experience that can used in professional activities.

At the end of the guest lecture, the audience expressed their deep gratitude to the organizers of the event.
