The history of our Institute started in 1937. It was founded as the Teachers’ Institute by Decree of the Council of People's Commissars (CPC) of the Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic (Kazakh SSR). That time the new Teachers’ Institute was one of the leading higher schools in the South Kazakhstan. In July 7, 1954 the Teachers' Institute was reorganized into the N.K. Krupskaya Chimkent Pedagogical Institute by the Decree of the Kazakh SSR Council of Ministers. In September, 1987 it was given the name of the great Kazakh writer Auezov Mukhtar Omarkhanovich.
For many years the Institute has being passed through various transformations. 18 years later, in 2011, the Institute re-acquired the former status. It became the South Kazakhstan State Pedagogical Institute. The teachers of the Southern Kazakhstan have got the rebirth of the Institute as the care of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev in order to increase the authority of Teachers and the whole teaching staff of the Institute.
