A 69-year-old Turkish woman is studying at a Kazakh university. Kadriye Işıklı, the oldest student in the history of Ahmet Yassawi University in Turkistan, came to Kazakhstan to learn the Kazakh language and immerse herself in the culture. She is currently enrolled in the university’s preparatory center, which provides education to over 200 students. Over the course of two semesters, participants study Kazakh, Turkish, Russian, and English. Those who successfully complete the program can continue their education in their chosen field. Notably, Kadriye Işıklı already holds a degree in tourism and has traveled to more than 20 countries. Now, her goal is to explore Central Asia.

«I have been in Kazakhstan for over a month now, studying Kazakh. I really like this language,» Işıklı shared.
