    IEJME — MATHEMATICS EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 8, 3176-3186 OPEN ACCESS Analysis of dynamics of high school graduates who participated in the unified national test Kazakhstan Bakhtiyar Bakas uulua Yessengali Smagulov b a Kyrgyz Economic University, KYRGYZSTAN b I.Zhansugurov Zhetysu State University, KAZAKHSTAN ABSTRACT In 2013 it has been executed 10 years since the introduction of the Unified National Test for graduates of secondary schools in Kazakhstan in 2013. The higher education system in Kazakhstan has changed with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the transition to a market economy economic development. The number of higher education institutions keenly has increased. In 1991 the republic had 55 universities by universities peaked to 182 in 2001. Conducting Unified National Test for all 10 years since its introduction, accompanied by disputes about its feasibility and objectivity. Opponents of this system have argued that the tests is only a form of learning the curriculum, while the paramount importance should be attached to the quality of education. UNT defenders argue that the testing system - it is a well-established and effective form of graduate’s examination worldwide, and Kazakhstan as a part of the international community must comply with the advanced world standards. Since 2009, a growing number of graduates in the Kazakh language, and a sharp decline in graduates with Russian language of teaching. Thus, in the coming years we should expect an expansion of application areas of the Kazakh language due to the fact that increase the proportion of people who use the Kazakh language as the core. For 10 years, the UNT average score of rural schools graduates is lower than of city schools graduates.

    International Journal of Community and Cooperative Studies Vol.1,No.2,pp.27-41,December 2014 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE STATE AND NGOS IN KAZAKHSTAN Aliya Kabdiyeva* , Assistant Professor, MPhil., MSc, Candidate of Sciences, Department of Public Administration, KIMEP University, 4 Abay Ave., 050010, Almaty, Kazakhstan John Dixon Distinguished Professor of Public Policy and Administration Department of Public Administration, KIMEP University, Almaty, Kazakhstan ABSTRACT: Interest in collaboration between state and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) has grown dramatically in recent years in Kazakhstan. This article explores the history of NGOs, and NGO–state cooperation in Kazakhstan, in terms of the mechanisms and forms, the benefits and achievements, and the constraints and success factors. It highlights the positive dimensions in the NGO–state relationship in terms of the legal environment, in the different forms of public participation, and in the financial support provided by government. At the same time, there is a need to provide a real collaboration of NGOs with government. The NGO–state relationship in Kazakhstan is, still, in the early stage of development and is neither confrontational nor complementary. Currently, state social contracts are the most significant source of NGO funding. There is, however, a need to improve mechanisms for state contracting, in order to reflect the needs and priorities of NGOs’ constituents, to provide transparency

  • 5. Major Trends in Military Expenditure and Arms Acquisitions by the States of the Caspian Region
    5. Major trends in military expenditure and arms acquisitions by the states of the Caspian region Mark Eaton I. Introduction Official budgets of the newly independent states of the South Caucasus, Central Asia1 and Iran clearly show that defence spending has increased in the region since 1995.2 However, inconsistent reporting and coverage of defence budgets by regional countries are the norm and available data are often unreliable, seldom reflecting the actual military/security environment of the region. For example, paramilitary forces possessing military capabilities and performing defence-related tasks are not usually funded through defence budgets but by interior ministries. The evolving national security doctrines of a number of regional countries see international terrorism and political and religious extrem- ism as the main threats to national security, resulting in increased priority being given to the development of interior ministry forces during the latter half of the 1990s. In this chapter these forces and their sources of funding are considered independently of the regular armed forces. Armed non-state groups are also active in the region and the secret nature of their sources of funding and equipment makes it difficult to reach reliable conclusions about their military capability and their impact on security in the region. Arms transfers to the countries of the region increased during the second half of the 1990s, with Armenia, Iran and Kazakhstan emerging among the world’s leading recipients of conventional weapons. Since 1998 several countries, including NATO member states (the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Turkey and the USA), plus China and Ukraine, have entered the traditionally Russian- dominated market.

In the short time since independence the country has achieved a significant progress in building an open and democratic market economy. The ultimate goal of these profound economic and political transformations led by the Government is the well being of the people of Kazakhstan and improving their living standards.

In this context the Government is doing its best to minimise the inevitable difficulties that people may experience in this time of transition, when market relations are being established and new ways of life are being introduced.
