What do the Kazakhstani rural school leaders, teachers, students, and parents understand by the quality of education? What opportunities, resources, and support are available to these rural schools for achieving their aspired quality of education? What issues and challenges do these rural schools face in achieving the perceived quality of education? What possible solutions can be found to the issues hindering the quality of education in these schools? To explore these questions, a mixed methods study is being conducted in purposefully selected mainstream rural schools in Kazakhstan. This study employs a modified version of the UNICEF’s Quality of Education Framework: the quality of learners, curriculum/content, processes, environments, and outcomes (UNICEF, 2000) to explore the research questions.

And, unless well-funded and coordinated joint efforts are increased and competition is replaced by cooperation, ongoing over-withdrawals compounded by climate change will cause dangerous water shortages in this huge, highly complex watershed spanning six nations: Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
The team of the NU Energetic Cosmos Laboratory completed the second phase of the NUTTelA-TAO project on the remote control of the star observation telescope. To control the observatory, including telescope, dome, cameras, and other processes in real-time is now available directly from the university laboratory, 1000 km away from the observatory.
Within the framework of this 3-day event, the participants had the opportunity to learn about NU’s Master’s and Doctoral programs, how to apply, gain admission, student grant opportunities, about the available campus facilities and educational conditions of each program. Professors of NU held a series of lectures and master classes, and shared their discoveries in various fields such as artificial intelligence, medicine, oil engineering, business, education, economics, Eurasian Studies, and PSIR.
