On December 5, 2025, School No. 51 in the capital held an event titled “The Spirit of the Nation — The Epic of Manas,” dedicated to Manas Epic Day.

The event was opened by the tökmö-akyn Kutman Sadybakasov. Manaschi performers from the National Theater “Manas” — Uzarbek Anarbekov and Ularbek Mirlan uulu — attended as honored guests, adding a special cultural touch to the celebration. Students performed a dramatization of “The Birth of Manas” and showcased songs, dances, and choral pieces.

“The nation that honors its history has a strong future, and the nation that respects its heritage possesses an eternal spirit. Passing the world’s unique epic ‘Manas’ from generation to generation is the duty of every citizen — and our shared responsibility!”
