The Senate School of Analytics, an initiative designed to equip professionals with analytical tools and expertise, recently concluded its fourth session, focusing on how data can shape governance. Over the past eight weeks, participants engaged in intensive coursework, collaborated with leading experts, and developed team-based research projects.
On the final day, Dr. Waqar Ahmad, President of Nazarbayev University, delivered a keynote lecture titled "Evidence-Based Policy and the Role of the Academic Community." His speech underscored the growing need for rigorous data analysis in shaping effective government policies.
Maulen Ashimbayev, Chairman of the Senate of Kazakhstan, also emphasized the growing influence of analytics and digital technologies on economic development, public policy, and business. He noted that the knowledge gained through the program would empower participants to make more effective decisions.
“The central theme of this session was ‘Analytics and Digital Tools in Data-Driven Decision-Making. Both corporations and government agencies are striving for efficiency through data-driven platforms and analytical solutions. I believe that case studies from the National Bank, Otbasy Bank, and the Bureau of National Statistics have demonstrated how this approach is being widely adopted at various levels,” Ashimbayev said.
On that day, teams also presented their research projects, covering a diverse range of pressing issues—from inclusivity in education and gender balance to the role of artificial intelligence in policy making and sustainable development in Central Asia. Video recordings of all lectures from the School of Analytics are available on the program’s official YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/@SchoolofAnalytics.
