Achieving gender equality and empowering all women. KazUTB regards this goal as part of the university’s educational, research and partnership agenda within the context of Agenda 2030.
KazUTB and Goal 5
KazUTB views gender equality not only as statistical parity, but also as the creation of an inclusive ecosystem in which each of its 7,393 students has equal access to self-fulfillment.
