Abstract
This article discusses the preliminary findings of a national survey conducted on institutional engagement in the internationalization of higher education in Kazakhstan. Despite government initiatives to internationalize higher education, there are substantial challenges at the institutional level, and there needs to be closer communication and cooperation between the government and higher education institutions in order to achieve better results.
Highlights
Latin America and the Caribbean appears as the region with the smallest number of joint and double-degree programs
This is a modality in full growth around the world, just 29 percent of these institutions report having joint degree arrangements, and 34 percent double-degree programs, in contrast to the world average of 41 percent and 44 percent, respectively
Noteworthy are the region’s insufficient strategies for recruiting international students and scholars, resulting in one of the world’s smallest percentage of international students and scholars. This region is reported with the smallest percentage of institutions having internationalization policies in place (6% lower than the world average); and, it has the highest percentage of institutions currently preparing internationalization policies/strategies (6% higher than the world average)
Summary

The region reports having the least institutionalized and professionalized international offices, something in line with other studies, such as the 2011 report on international cooperation between the European Union and Mexico This situation might limit the potential and viability of internationalization strategies.
