How Can Dual Education in Technical and Vocational Institutions Improve Students’ Academic Achievements and Mitigate Youth Unemployment in Kazakhstan

Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to describe the role of dual education in improving students’ academic achievement and mitigating youth unemployment in Kazakhstan. To examine this issue, a survey was conducted among 496 students from technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions. The survey results were analyzed using SPSS program to address four hypotheses. Our survey showed that dual education students are more confident in their demands in the labor market, are more satisfied with the results of their studies, and have higher academic achievement than school-based education students.
