On December 14, 1990, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 45/106, proclaiming October 1 as the International Day of Older Persons. To commemorate the Day of the Elderly and on the eve of World Teachers’ Day, the teaching staff of the Department of General Educational Disciplines organized and held a meeting with veterans of the department Abenov T.S., Zharkeeva A.M., who worked within the walls of the Industry Technology Institute of WKITU for more than 20 years. Every year, congresses, conferences and other events are held around the world on the rights of older people and their role in society. Attention to older people is one of the priorities of Kazakhstan’s social policy. We wish our respected teachers the best health, patience, diligent and grateful students, as well as prosperity in their personal lives. Creative activity to you, dear teachers, inspiration, spiritual harmony, love of life, pleasant impressions.
