Integration of education, science, and production under the reform of the system of higher education in Kazakhstan
The research investigates the current problems of education in higher educational institutions, postgraduate education, and science in Kazakhstan. It is shown that at present, higher educational institutions are losing their qualitative criteria, since the educational process is not closely related to production. The problems of forming a future university graduate are addressed. Suggestions are made to solve the problems of the organizational and economic mechanism of state and private universities. Issues related to the methodological, scientific and organizational support of respective specializations and the improvement of future young specialists’ professional skills are investigated. A consolidation of efforts in the field of education, science, and production into a unified systematic complex is suggested, based on the study of the experience of advanced countries with a market economy.
