Kanysh Imantayevich Satpayev was born on March 31, 1899, in aul number 4 in the Pavlodar district of the Semipalatinsk region of the Russian Empire (now the aul named after K.I.Satpayev in the Bayanaul region of the Pavlodar region) in a biy family. He was the youngest child: he had an older brother and sister
From 1909 to 1911 Kanysh Satpayev studied at the aul school. In 1911 he entered the Russian-Kazakh school in the city of Pavlodar, from which he graduated in 1914 with honors. After graduating from college, Kanysh Satpayev, despite the objections of Imantai's father, went to study at the teachers' seminary in Semipalatinsk, where due to tuberculosis he had health problems. Nevertheless, he received his seminary diploma in 1918, passing exams as an external student.
Kanysh Imantayevich intended to continue his studies with the aim of obtaining higher education, however, with a seminary certificate at that time, they were admitted to universities only on condition of passing an exam in mathematics and one foreign language. For the next year and a half, Satpayev was preparing to enter the Tomsk Technological Institute. In parallel with his studies, Satpayev worked as a science teacher for two-year pedagogical courses in Semipalatinsk.
Work and training had to be postponed due to the exacerbation of tuberculosis. Satpayev spent almost a year in his native village, receiving treatment and recuperating. Doctors believed that he would never be able to continue his studies, and would only be able to live in his native village, in the fresh air, taking kumis therapy.
While undergoing treatment in Bayanaul, Kanysh Satpayev began compiling a textbook on algebra for Kazakh schools, which he finished in 1924. This textbook became the first school textbook of algebra in the Kazakh language.
In 1920, Satpayev was appointed the first in Bayanaul chairman of Kazkultprosvet (a department for cultural and educational work among workers), created with the strengthening of Soviet power. At the same time, by the decree of the Pavlodar Revolutionary Committee, he was appointed people's judge of the 10th section of the Bayanaul region.
It's very important to have good classmates because we spend a lot oftime together. And certainly it's nice when your classmates are goodpeople.
There are 28 pupils in our class — 15 boys and 13 girls. They come toour school from different parts of the city because our class is aspecialized in physics and mathematics. We do a lot also in chemistry,in learning computers and other subjects. We are friends and help eachother with our lessons. Of course, hard work at physics, mathematics andEnglish takes the most part of our time, we work much even afterclasses.
But sometimes we have a good time together celebrating some holidays orsomebody's birthday. Then we bring cakes to school, have a tea-party,have some dancing and enjoy our life together with our class master. Heis a teacher of physics, a very good teacher. We love him and he lovesand respects us. The rest of the teachers are very good, too. I love myclass, my school, my classmates and teachers. I think I am lucky,because it doesn't often happen that you feel OK at your school both instudying and in after school time.
