Our mission/vission
Our center has long been associated with the
international scholarship program called Bolashaq. This program is fully funded
by the government of Kazakhstan, and gives our citizens an opportunity to get
the highest quality education abroad. We invest into human capital and
competence building by sending the brightest of our people/minds to the best universities
across the globe to do bachelor, master degrees, PhD as well as internships,
and we make sure that our scholars come back, get employed and can contribute
to the social and economic development of our country and drive a new wave of
innovation. We hope that our results will be fruitful for generations to come.
Center is first and foremost the administrator of the Bolashaq scholarship,
this year we have celebrated 25th anniversary of the program,
but we also have a range of other activities: we implement intergovernmental
agreements in the field of education and science, annually we hold
international education fairs to promote international education and inform our
citizen of what opportunities there are in the world to receive high quality
education. We also serve as a bridge between local universities and foreign
partners to foster internationalization of our education system by attracting
foreign students, volunteers, academia and top managers into our universities.
The Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic
of Kazakhstan is updating content of education in the framework of the
trilingual education. This is the reason why phased transition into using
English as a language of study is carried out at high schools and higher
education institutions.
Moreover, a step-by-step transition will be carried
out from Cyrillic to Latin alphabet. There are specialized schools with English
language are functioning in our country. In some leading universities, like
Nazarbayev University, KIMEP University, Kazakh-British Technical University
students get education only in English. Thus, we pay serious attention to
language training. In order to contribute and develop this new direction the
Center for International Programs launched “Go Nomads” Bolashaq Teaching
program” for volunteers willing to assist teachers in Kazakhstan.
Our goals
The idea of “Go Nomads” Bolashaq Teaching program” is
to attract volunteers from different countries to Kazakhstan. Main goal is to
find people who are fluent in foreign languages, mainly English for now and
other particular subjects, so they can assist Kazakhstani teachers in
delivering their course. This program serves as a one of mechanisms in
transferring our education to trilingual education system.
Who are we looking for?
Volunteers need only to bring a positive attitude and
willingness to experience the true Kazakh culture. Interesting in a
teaching subject is crucial.
