Saran Humanitarian and Technical College named after Abai Kunanbayev has a long and glorious history.
    It began in the early 20s of the last century. The first years of the formation of the young Kazakh republic were very difficult: war, famine, devastation, and the deplorable state of public education. The first five years of Soviet power have passed. The fight against illiteracy of the population was declared in the country, and therefore there was an urgent need to train national personnel. The Kazakh intelligentsia understood this perfectly well.
    By the decision of the government of the Kazakh ASSR and the People's Commissariat of Education, in order to overcome the illiteracy of the population, the District Kazakh Pedagogical College was opened in December 1922 in Karkaralinsk for the socio-political education of workers   Semipalatinsk province.

    One of the initiators of the opening of the college was the first professor of mathematics of Kazakhstan Alimkhan Ermekov. A seminarian by education, a well-known teacher Rakhimbai Sapakov, was appointed head of the college. In the most difficult conditions of those years, in December 1922, 15 young men who graduated from the 4th grade of the first stage school were admitted to the college.
   It was planned to open 280 schools for the population of Karkaraly county, which required qualified teachers. The task of their training was assigned to the pedagogical college.     Initially, the educational institution was allocated an unsuitable wooden barrack-type room for classes.
Through the efforts of Alimkhan Ermekov, the pedagogical college was transferred to the building of the former real school, where there was a school of the II stage with a nine-year term of study. Preparatory courses and a boarding school were opened at the college. Classes were conducted mainly in Russian. Of the 8 teachers with higher education, 4 teachers taught the Kazakh language and literature; the salary of teachers was 23 rubles 10 kopecks with an increase in food rations. The first students of the college received a scholarship in kind for 4 months: mutton and wheat.
