Therefore, nearly a half of teachers consider the student of KAZNMU as the personality with insufficiently developed outlook, culture, and a certain deficiency of patriotism. According to the conclusion only thirds (31,88%) teachers, students of KAZNMU are a personality with a broad outlook of knowledge which seek for continuous self-development. A half of respondents (46,5%) consider that some efforts for this purpose are required from staff of university.Nevertheless, 81,2% of teachers respondents consider that positive dynamics in development of students under the influence of educational actions realized in KAZNMU is observed.

According to a third of teachers (30,3%) the student’s corporate culture needs development. Though the majority of teachers (81,2%) consider that all events held at university (concerts, performances, conferences, scientific and social projects, volunteering, etc.) positively influence the identity of the graduate of KAZNMU.
