The book consists of four chapters. The first "Ustazy jaqsynyń – ustamy jaqsy" tells the story of the First President of Kazakhstan in the words of his teachers.

"In 1948, together with Sultan, we crossed the threshold of D. Furmanov school in Shamalgan and were inseparable friends until graduation. ... We studied together for nine years at school in Shamalgan, and then continued our studies at the Abai school in Kaskelen. Sultan got straight A’s, he was also a Komsomol member and Secretary of the school's Komsomol Committee. He was fond of wrestling, barbell, and chess. He was always very responsible and diligently carried out the tasks entrusted to him. From a young age, Sultan was fond of reading books. He played dombra, mandolin, harmonica, performed Kazakh folk songs and Russian ditties", - shares his memories Saduakas Yessimbai, a childhood friend and classmate of N. Nazarbayev, author of the books "Úshqońyr – altyn besіgіm", "Balalyq shaqqa saıahat", dedicated to Elbassy.
He also notes the hard work, perseverance, determination, and truthfulness of the future President of Kazakhstan, which his father Abish instilled in him, and the good nature, great sense of humor, and love of knowledge passed on to him from his mother Alzhan.
"He differed from his peers with a special kind of courage and strength of will. He was also known for kindness and charity, and always came to help in difficult situations. ... I would say that a unique feature of Nursultan was a peaceful nature. He never fought with anyone, he did not swear, he separated and calmed the fighting boys," recalls Kydyrgali Baybek, a classmate and childhood friend of N. Nazarbayev.
A classmate of N. Nazarbayev, one of the authors of the book "Elbasy synyptastary" Rauza Tolemisova says: "At that time, of course, we did not think that Nursultan Nazarbayev would be a President, but we were sure that he would achieve a lot because since childhood, Nursultan did good deeds, organized classmates and initiated various events. He was always very responsive, took care of all of us, and helped us in everything. He was endowed by nature with many talents."
