KAZAKHSTAN’S EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE GLOBAL SPOTLIGHT

In the capital
of the United Kingdom, London, Kazakhstan’s national pavilion was opened at the
international exhibition “Bett UK 2026 – Leading EdTech.” This is a leading
global platform where the future of world education and the role of artificial
intelligence in learning are discussed. The delegation, headed by the Minister
of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Sayasat Nurbek,
also includes the Vice-Rector for Digitalization of Abai University, Nurken
Musabayev. The global exhibition showcased innovative achievements in digital
transformation presented by the world’s leading universities.
The international
exhibition, which attracts the attention of higher education institutions
worldwide, sets the agenda for the EdTech market. Kazakhstan is not merely an
observer in this process but has become a full-fledged participant. The
national pavilion made it possible to demonstrate the development of the
country’s higher and postgraduate education system. Projects aimed at
digitalizing the educational process, implementing artificial intelligence
solutions, advancing science, and expanding international cooperation were
presented on the global stage.
Nine universities
and educational organizations from Kazakhstan are participating in the
pavilion’s activities. Higher education institutions are presenting their
academic programs, research projects, and joint initiatives with international
partners. This demonstrates the maturity of the ecosystem within domestic
universities and their readiness for deeper integration into the global
educational space.
The Vice-Rector
for Digitalization of Abai University, Nurken Birzhanuly, who took part in the
exhibition dedicated to digitalization projects and the implementation of
artificial intelligence tools in global education, noted that he held business
meetings with representatives of international digital technology companies and
exchanged professional experience.
– The
international exhibition allows us to see what innovative technologies are
being implemented abroad. Their impact on improving the quality of education
and their operational efficiency is significant. This exhibition has provided
us with excellent opportunities to exchange experience with foreign
universities and companies, — said the vice-rector.
In addition,
meetings in various areas were organized with representatives of leading
universities, research centers, and technology companies during the exhibition.
It is no exaggeration to say that global interest in Kazakhstan’s education
system is high. Foreign partners are particularly interested in the scale of
domestic reforms and the systematic experience of integrating artificial
intelligence into the education system.
Within the
framework of the exhibition, plenary sessions, thematic discussions, and
presentations of leading EdTech developments are being held. Business meetings
between government agencies, universities, and technology companies are also
planned.
