On November 23, 2020, in honor of Al-Farabi’s 1150th anniversary, an open online educational hour on the topic "Residents of the virtuous city" was organized by the 1st year undergraduates majoring in Kazakh philology.  Our undergraduates analyzed the six chapters of Abu Nasir al-Farabi's book: "Treatises on the People of the Virtuous City". Each section of the book discusses this topic and looks for convenient ways to build a good society.  Al-Farabi believes that the main goal of state policy is to bring happiness and prosperity to the people.  He emphasizes that "happiness is the most precious, the greatest, the most perfect of all blessings" and that everyone has every right to it.  He says that only city dwellers, who are ruled by good rulers, have the right to be happy.  Our undergraduates also asked interesting questions and shared interesting facts about al-Farabi.  Another lesson from today's lesson is that we are convinced that our undergraduates are quick-thinking and intelligent people who possess critical -analysis skills which are indispensable for real science.
