Abstract

This article discusses the preliminary findings of a national survey conducted on institutional engagement in the internationalization of higher education in Kazakhstan. Despite government initiatives to internationalize higher education, there are substantial challenges at the institutional level, and there needs to be closer communication and cooperation between the government and higher education institutions in order to achieve better results.
