Value of A. Baitursynov’s educational view

If we pay attention to the spiritual position of Kazakhstan at the beginning of XX century, in 1909 – 1920 it was the time of the update of educational activities of the Kazakh intelligence. First of all, it was due to the requirement of the epoch, secondly, to prevent some political actions of Russian empire. One of those who put together all the intelligence, sacrificing himself for the destiny of people and who inspired them was Akhmet Baitursynuly. He undertook the development of cultural and educational work in country. In 1913 in the article “Қазақ тарихы” which was published in the third number of “Қазақ” newspaper A. Baitursynuly said: If they start to develop nowadays before the hard period comes, they are going to save Kazakh culture and their traditions.

A. Baitursynuly had seen in the expansion of our literature the way out of the impasse of Kazakh people, which eventually saved their traditions. Considering the viability and wonderfulness of west mentality, as we all know, he thought about possibilities of how to save the language and the religion of our generation. A. Baitursynuly was one of the Kazakh intelligence who had paid attention to creation of the greatest Kazakh poet Abai and who had published an article about Abai’s philosophy in the 39^th number of “Қазақ” newspaper. “If the national language isn’t the basis of the Kazakh literature it would die. What does it mean when we say national literature? Of course, we mean proverbs and idioms”,- said Akhmet.

We have the opportunity to develop our national existence in times of scientific technology and also we can stand in one line with civilized countries, due to A. Baitursynuly. Now we can see how actual he was.

The main difference of A. Baitursynuly’s educational work was to show people what spirit they should have.

He mentioned Kazakh history in his compositions.

- Сұлтанымды сұрасаң, (Sultanymdy surasan)

Ақылы толық кен еді. (Akyly tolyk ken edi)

Әкім болып халқына, (Akim bolyp halkyna)

Айтқан сөзі ем еді. (Aitkan sozi em edi)

The main importance of A. Baitursynuly’s educational work was to show how high spirit of the nation helps people to achieve their goals. From spirit of heroes and poet’s spirit we can see the whole nation’s spirit of those times,- said Akhmet Baitursynuly, showing the importance of heroes and poets.

Now in the 21^st century global crisis requires knowledge and courage from private entrepreneur. It is the law of life.

From ancient times great writers and philosophers saying winged words taught us to live properly. Great scientists always showed right way and helped the population. Akhmet Baytursynuly said: you must be good person and not be selfish. Hundred years ago Akhmet Baytursynuly left us valuable words, so we can not say that we are not surprised.

If we work together in cooperation our state will be in the first place.

In early 20^th century Akhmet Baytursynuly said if the country has its own literature, the people of this country will have good life. As one of the great philosophers Eastern Europe Hiedegger mentioned the language is a part of human existence and Akhmet Baytursynuly said only those who have their own language have the future. So this words didn’t betray the spirit, strength and confidence of the people.

President Nursultan Nazarbaev said that to become an independent country you must know ancient history and it helps you open your eyes and teaches how to live.[3] Akhmet Baytursynuly using his power, courage, patriotism and strength always dreamed about an independent country.
