The shift from soviet style centralized planned economy to western-style liberal market economy required significant transformations in the higher education system. Alongside diversification of provision through allowing private education, integration into the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) through the implementation of three cycles of higher education qualifications, the National System of Education Quality Assessment was established. However, admitting students into the process of educational governance and quality assurance has started only recently (since 2012) with the establishment of a non-governmental higher education accreditation board. This chapter observes emerging forms of student engagement at micro, meso, and macro levels based on the analysis of higher education legislature, policy recommendations by international agencies (such as World Bank and OECD), and data from the National Center for Education Quality Assessment. Kazakhstan's experience of ambiguous forms and invisible procedures is not unique for the post-soviet states where old top-down education management persists.

The retention of highly qualified teachers is crucial for the successful progress of the education sphere. However, employing the majority of the workforce (26.5%, almost one million people), education is one of the lowest paying sectors. Low pay causes a lack of popularity of the teaching profession among youth; results in an aging and highly feminized workforce; and harms prestige, status and esteem of teachers, thus intensifying turnover and making retention of qualified teachers difficult. This study proposes the use of three-tiered temporal, regional, and gender payroll data to analyze the prestige, status, and esteem of the teaching profession in Kazakhstan.

Retention of highly qualified teachers is crucial for successful reforms. However, educational occupation that employs almost one million people, the majority of the workforce (26.5%) in the economy, is one of the lowest paying sectors. Low pay causes unpopularity of teaching profession among youth, aging and high feminization of the personnel, harms prestige, status and esteem of teachers and thus intensifies turnover and makes retention of qualified teachers a difficult task. This study proposes to use temporal, spatial and gender three-tiers payroll data to analyze prestige, status, and esteem of educational occupation in Kazakhstan. It argues that while improving a social package is important, fundamental reforms of the payment system in education are likely to be the most effective measure to improve the prestige and status of teachers.

В 1980-е годы в японских школах стали появляться дети японцы, вернувшиеся в Японию после продолжительного проживания заграницей в отрыве от родной языковой среды в связи с длительными командировками родителей. С начала 1990-х увеличение иностранных граждан, прибывающих в Японию по рабочей визе, привело и к увеличению детей иностранцев в японских школах, не владеющих японским языком. В таких условиях появилась острая необходимость создания и развития системы обучения японскому языку как второму. Однако законодательная база для создания такой системы была утверждена японским правительством только в 2014 году. В свою очередь, не смотря на то, что изучение английского языка присутствовало в школьной программе с момента создания системы школьного образования, т.е. с конца 19-го века, наибольшее внимание развитию системы обучения английскому языку как иностранному, стало уделяться только с начала 2000-х годов в условиях ускоряющихся темпов глобализации и ужесточения конкуренции на международном рынке труда. Автор на основе анализа законодательных документов, статистических данных и выводов научных работ по данной тематике, показывает влияние глобализации и иммиграционной политики на языковую политику в сфере образования, систематизирует существующие проблемы в области обучения японскому языку как второму и английскому как иностранному и предлагаемые японским правительством меры по их решению.

First stage took almost a decade after independence, when education reforms led by the rhetoric of international donors represented reduction of public education expenditure. Second stage lasted another ten years that started in the dawn of new century, and the government passed hasty reforms with a purpose to integrate Kazakhstan’s education into so-called “international educational space”. And finally, reforms of ongoing decade have been implemented under the slogan of developing Kazakhstan’s original way of educational innovation. It took form of establishment of elite university and schools for gifted children, where progressive teaching and learning experience (in three languages, Kazakh, Russian and English) is supposed to be disseminated to all secondary schools. The success of this ambitious plan fully depends on existence of highly qualified teachers. That is why former teacher training institutes across the country were reorganized in Centers of Excellence where teachers undergo three steps of training programs developed by famous western university. Significant funds are funneled into these professional development programs. Meanwhile reform of pre-service teacher education has undergone mainly structural transformations and was rarely prioritized by the government. This study analyses education legislature and policy papers and indicates recent trends in teacher education reforms and issues that they cause. Particularly, this paper argues that radical and fast changes that were brought by these reforms cannot guarantee expected result due to such reasons like teachers’ low motivation, gap between rural schools and schools for gifted children which practice is used for dissemination trough in-service training.
