ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM OF KAZAKHSTAN

Resource management is crucial for ensuring quality education and research in higher education institutions. The higher education system in Kazakhstan has undergone various reforms to improve resource allocation and utilization. This paper examines the advantages and disadvantages of the current resource management system in Kazakhstan's higher education. The centralized governance model concentrates decision-making powers regarding resource allocation with the Ministry of Education and Science. This allows aligned strategic development and coordinated quality assurance across all higher education institutions. However, centralized control limits institutional autonomy and flexibility in resource utilization. The norms-based financing methodology promotes equitable distribution of resources based on objective workload indicators. But it overlooks qualitative outcomes and contextual requirements of individual institutions. The focus on per capita financing norms overlooks the need for optimal allocation across different expenditure heads. The analysis suggests that the resource management system has ensured stability and quality control in Kazakhstan's higher education system. However, there is a need for calibrated reforms to allow greater institutional autonomy along with accountability; balanced financing across different inputs; and linking resource allocation with qualitative outcomes. The recommendations include development of institutional leadership capabilities, clustered/differentiated approach to financing, linking funding with outcomes, and adoption of total quality management principles in resource governance.

The impact of OECD research on the education system of Kazakhstan

In education, reform and renewal are constant. Policies are continually changing to meet the needs of the times and the society. Political advisors, such as the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, play an important role among private consultants as policy actors. According to Gunter’s (in: Howlett and Mukerjee (eds), Handbook of policy formulation, Edward Elgar Publishers, 2017) classification of policy actors, the OECD can be classified as a supra-national organization.

Right to education: new conditions for implementation

The article examines the right to education, the implementation of which requires new approaches and new decisions on the part of the state. The global pandemic has revealed that states are not ready to switch to distance learning. With the transition to distance learning it became clear that the concept of the “right to education” is already understood differently, and therefore this right needs to be considered more broadly than we imagined in the traditional learning format. The objectives of the study are to define the concept of “the right to education” in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan, conduct a theoretical analysis of the present situation and the further development of the education system, its legislative development. When writing a scientific article, sociological methods were used, such as observation and survey of students. This helped to study the legal nature of the “right to education” more deeply to learn from the inside what problems exist in the implementation of this right and propose ways to improve it. Examining the current state and ways of improving the education system in Kazakhstan, the authors classified the right to education by type and were able to propose measures to improve learning in a distance format.

THE IDENTITY OF KAZAKHSTANI YOUTH: IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION AND NEOTRADITIONALISM

The article analyzes the value orientations of modern student youth in Kazakhstan that influence the formation of their identity. Based on the analysis of this social group’s value alignments, the article attempts to determine the vital problem areas in the formation of the character of young people as those capable of taking responsibility for their own destiny and the destiny of their country. Special attention is heeded to ethnic, religious and civic identities. The ratio of civil and ethnic identities among Kazakhstani student youth is assessed. A growth tendency in the norms of individualism and indifference to traditional forms of identity is revealed. Particular attention is paid to the influence of traditional and modernization values ​​on the self-awareness of Kazakhstani youth. This research perspective was selected deliberately. The current state of public relations—both global, and Kazakhstani in particular—is determined by active ambiguous, multi-directional transformation processes. Under these circumstances, the issue of identity becomes especially acute for young people, and a search for sources of worldviews ensues to help young people formulate and self-actualize their own essence and to construct their own view of the world. In the course of this search, it is crucial to avoid becoming an object of various kinds of ideological, spiritual, ideological manipulation and recruiting. The modern contemporary social reality engenders a wide variety of spiritual practices, ideological revelations and political modules. It is essential for a young person to make the right choice based on objective knowledge and understanding. Under the circumstances, a special responsibility is imposed on the education system. Unfortunately, the modern higher education system in Kazakhstan pays special attention to the rigid specialization of graduates as part of the current vigorous reforms. Purely professional training is becoming a priority, while the issues of socio-humanitarian, ideological training of our future specialists remain on the margins of the educational system, which, in turn, impedes their successful socialization. It is in these epistemological coordinates that this article was prepared. The article is based on the data obtained through a sociological study conducted in 2019 as part of the project “Formation of the Concept of Religious Tolerance and Ethnic Consolidation in Educational Formats of Modern Kazakhstan.”

Innovative Technologies Against the COVID-19’s Challenge: Education Issues

 There have been chosen exploratory and conclusive research design. Fifty-nine students provided qualitative responses; ninety-eight students and graduates participated in quantitative survey. The results of study has shown students’ increased awareness concerning blended learning.
 The scientific novelty lies in the description of the experience gained by higher schools during the quarantine. We believe that in the future, blended learning should be used largely. The innovations in the learning process cover two areas. The first is related to software used. It is like creation of a virtual university that facilitates communication between students and teachers. The second area correlates with content, without which any innovation will fail.
