🌐 Kazakhstan Levels Up with US Universities: A New Era in Research and Education
Straight up, Kazakhstan's education game is getting a major boost thanks to some serious deals with top-tier American universities. Minister of Science and Higher Education, Sayasat Nurbek, dropped someknowledge during a recent trip to the US, announcing that Arizona State University is planning to open a second branch at Mukhtar Auezov South Kazakhstan University in 2026.
Boom! 💥 Here's a lowdown on the university link-ups:
- Arizona State University (ASU) and Mukhtar Auezov South Kazakhstan University:
- Branching Out: Arizona State University's second branch is slated to open in 2026 at Mukhtar Auezov South Kazakhstan University[1].
- University of Arizona and Kozybayev University in Petropavl:
- Fascinating Research: The University of Arizona's research areas include innovative bioinformatics, smart water management, and sustainable polymer production with sulfur[1].
- Colorado School of Mines and Kazakhmys Corporation:
- Zhezkazgan Tech Hub: Get ready for a new tech university in Zhezkazgan, built in collaboration with the Colorado School of Mines, all about mining and cutting-edge technologies[1].
- Harvard University and the Davis Center in Boston:
- Rare Manuscript Revolution: Harvard University and the Davis Center are teaming up with Kazakhstan to create a digital platform for the digitization of valuable and ancient manuscripts in Chagatai and Chinese[1].
- Educational Testing Service (ETS):
- Nationwide Testing Transformation: Expect some serious change in Kazakhstan's national testing system, as ETS plans to develop new tests and implement certificates[1].
These partnerships show that Kazakhstan is pumping up its research game and forging strong links with prestigious international institutions.
Now, guess what? Kazakhstan's goals don't stop there—the country aims to become the Central Asian educational hub! On April 28, Nurbek hooked up with South Korean Deputy Minister of Education Oh Seok-hwan in Almaty, where they discussed Kazakhstan's ambitious plans for education[3].
Woosong University is opening a branch in Turkistan this year, with 110 scholarships for the first students[4]. There are also collaborative efforts like mechanical engineering training with Dong-Eui University, dual-degree programs with SeoulTech, and a rare earth processing center with Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)[3].
"I'm blown away by how higher education is developing in Kazakhstan," said Oh Seok-hwan. "I truly believe that Kazakhstan will take the lead in the educational markets of Central Asia because of its massive potential and strategic approach"[3].
