A modern research university cannot be imagined without a broad international academic network. That is why the creation of international educational and scientific platforms has become one of the strategic priorities for the development of Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. Alongside educating more than 7,000 international students and developing powerful international centers in Almaty, the university is expanding its academic presence beyond Kazakhstan, exporting its ac

The systemic decisions of the Head of the State Kassym-Jomart Kemelevich Tokayev aimed at developing technical and vocational education have opened up new opportunities for modernizing this sector. In recent years, the state funding has increased, the state educational order has expanded, student enrollment has grown, and the practice of dual training has developed further. Our task now is to turn these opportunities into concrete results that meet the real needs of the labor

Nearly a hundred years ago, in 1928, Kazakhstan’s first university was founded, which is known today as Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University (Abai University). Established as a national center for training pedagogical staff, the university played a key role in the development of the country's higher education system. On the eve of its centennial anniversary, Abai University is undergoing perhaps one of the most dynamic stages of its history, proudly demonstrating its a

The ancient Silk Road once spanned the heart of Eurasia, where the timeless echoes of camel bells witnessed the profound integration of diverse civilizations and the transmission of scientific innovation across generations. Today, guided by the heads-of-state consensus forged at the inaugural China-Central Asia Summit, a magnificent pearl of educational and scientific brilliance has taken root in Almaty – the Kazakhstan Branch Campus of Northwestern Polytechnical University (

The four years needed to complete an undergraduate degree is a long time in the industry, within which it can dramatically alter its entire demeanor. New technologies emerge, professions transform, certain skills lose relevance, and employers begin searching for competencies that did not even exist a few years ago. This creates one of the primary challenges for higher education: universities can no longer afford to update themselves at a slower pace than the economy. The resp

The Civil Aviation Academy is the only specialized higher education institution in Kazakhstan for training aviation specialists. The Academy's educational programs are designed in line with international civil aviation standards and requirements. The Academy provides a continuous training system – from technical and vocational education to bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees – preparing pilots, air traffic controllers, engineering and technical specialists, and other p

The last decade has become an important milestone in the development of the global system of higher education. During this time, universities have reconsidered their approaches to organizing education, managing the educational process, international cooperation, and student engagement. Accelerated digital transformation, changes in the educational model, evolving requirements for the quality of education, and the growing role of transnational education are areas that were pre

The world is expecting results of Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2027. How many Kazakhstan's universities will be at the top of the list this year? What is the secret of the rise of higher education of the country? What is the mission of a modern university and what to rely on in its development? We had an opportunity to talk to Phil BATY, the Сhief Global Affairs and Chief Operating Officer of THE, Director General of Education World Forum. – Since 2019,

The strategy for the development of higher education and science in Kazakhstan is built on preserving its own strong academic school and actively attracting the world's best practices. In this ecosystem, integration takes place on two levels at once – through strengthening interstate partnerships and through a live, personal dialogue between students and researchers from different countries. The Center for International Programs plays a key role in implementing this course. A

Kazakhstan's agro-industrial complex is a life-sustaining foundation and the strategic pillar of the national economy. Here, issues of food security, economic stability, and the country's global competitiveness intersect, rooted in historical traditions and unique natural potential. Today, the industry is entering a phase of profound transformation – from an extensive model to a technological one. Under these conditions, the key factor is no longer simply the presence of agra

Earth remote sensing today holds a special place in the system of modern scientific and applied research, forming the basis for space monitoring of the planet. For Kazakhstan as a whole and the East Kazakhstan region in particular, this technology acquires strategic importance, as it allows working with spatially complex, environmentally sensitive, and resource-rich territories. Mountain systems, forests, agricultural lands, water bodies, and natural risk zones form a unique

Education is a key pillar of state policy, shaping the human capital, values, and competitiveness of the country. Large-scale reforms and the special attention paid by the Head of State, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, to the education sector are consistently building a modern, sustainable system. In this system, every child – regardless of their family’s status or place of residence, whether urban or rural – is guaranteed equal access to quality education and a safe environment, whil

Today, a growing body of research indicates that the development of artificial intelligence represents a transformative force capable of significantly impacting economic growth and social well-being. For Kazakhstan, which strives for leadership positions in the current digital era, establishing a solid technological culture that involves the entire society is not merely desirable, but an essential condition. Current analysis shows that despite ambitious state strategies and s

The initial stages of integrating artificial intelligence into teaching and management – characterized by a widespread craze, chaotic experimentation, a lack of expertise, attempts at bans, and data leaks – are gradually becoming a thing of the past. The educational system is seeking ways to restore its lost equilibrium while maintaining the momentum generated by these new technologies. A clearer understanding is emerging of where they pose risks and where they bring value. I

Today, regional universities in Kazakhstan are expanding beyond traditional educational platforms – emerging as hubs for technological breakthroughs and centers of attraction for investment. A striking example of this transformation is Kozybayev University. Through state support and synergy with global educational leaders – such as the University of Arizona – the university is building a "seamless" connection between the laboratory and production. How can "industrial ballast"
