"Educational Models in Kazakhstan and Other Countries: A Comparative Analysis"

On October 29, 2026, as part of the Sustainable Development Goal SDG-4 "Quality Education" the Department of Russian Philology and World Literature Faculty of Philology held a seminar for first-year students of the "Accounting and Audit" educational program, titled "Educational Models in Kazakhstan and Other Countries: A Comparative Analysis."

The seminar was designed to foster students' research and analytical skills, develop critical thinking, and promote an understanding of the role that quality, accessible education plays in the sustainable development of society.

Working in teams, the students conducted a comparative analysis of the educational models of Kazakhstan and Finland, as well as Kazakhstan and Japan. Participants examined the organization of education, teaching methods, and the accessibility and quality of education; they identified similarities and differences, and discussed the potential for implementing effective international practices within Kazakhstan.

The teamwork helped students develop skills in information retrieval and analysis, argumentation, collaboration, and the presentation of findings. The seminar contributed to the realization of SDG 4 objectives, which focus on ensuring quality, equitable, and accessible education.
