Aliya Kuzhabekova

International Journal of Educational Development, 2024, vol. 106, issue C

Abstract: The paper explores the recently launched initiative of the Kazakhstani government to establish a regional education hub in the country by providing an overview of the government’s rationale, adopted policy documents, and some of the undertaken steps. In addition, the paper argues that a related initiative of creating an international research university in Astana was an important precursor of the regional hub idea. Drawing on the lessons from the creation of the Nazarbayev University the paper tries to forecast some of the possible challenges, which may face Kazakhstan’s regional education hub and identifies some policy considerations, which could increase the likelihood of its success.
