A court in Kazakhstan's Zhambyl Region has ordered an expelled student to pay her university 632,000 tenge in unpaid tuition, infohub.kz reports.
According to the official Telegram channel of the Zhambyl Region courts, the Moyynkum District Court heard a civil case brought by Taraz Regional University named after Dulati seeking repayment of tuition arrears.
In August 2023, the university and the student signed a contract for paid educational services. The defendant was enrolled in the Speech Therapy (Logopedics) program and undertook to pay her tuition on time.
However, she failed to meet her contractual obligations. In April 2025, she was expelled for violating the university's internal regulations and because the university had lost contact with her.
Despite the end of her studies, her obligation to pay the debt accrued before expulsion remained. The university sent the defendant notices demanding payment, but they produced no result. The debt totaled 632,000 tenge, prompting the university to take the matter to court.
After reviewing the case materials and the evidence presented, the court found the claims justified and upheld the lawsuit in full.
The court ordered the woman to pay the university 632,000 tenge in arrears plus a state fee. The ruling has entered into legal force.
