Education starts with reading
文化背景
September 1st is 'Bilim Kuni' (Knowledge Day). This proverb is recited in almost every school across the country on this day. The metaphor of 'water' (springs, rivers) is sacred in nomadic cultures because it represents life in the steppe. 19th-century scholars like Ibrahim Altynsarin used this proverb to promote secular education among Kazakhs. Kazakhstani students often use this phrase in their 'Bolashak' scholarship applications to show their dedication to learning.
