1) This article examines how, in the context of the increasing deprofessionalization of the teaching professional both nationally and internationally, teachers have attempted to reshape the notion of “professionalism” in a post-Soviet Kyrgyzstan, where teachers function within a top-down, bureaucratic education system.

2) This presentation looks at existing collaborative practices in Kazakhstani schools, such as the pedagogical council, methodological council and methodological subject units which were inherited from the Soviet education system. Their role in the past as well as their potential to become collaborative teacher learning platform in the future is examined.

1) “Leave me Alone – Simply Let Me Teach”: An exploration of teacher professionalism in Kyrgyzstan. 2) Collaborative teacher learning in Kazakhstan: Is it something new or well-forgotten past?

The seminar series 'Internationalisation and Educational Reform in Eastern European and the Commonwealth of Independent States' is organised by the Kazakhstan programme research team as a platform for analysis, discussion and critique of the recent educational reforms in the Newly Independent nations of the former Soviet Union and its satellite states. From a variety of theoretical and methodological perspectives the questions that we invite us all to explore are:
- the Russian/Soviet inheritance and how this continues to shape education policy and practice
- the relationship of educational reform to the development of post independence national identity
- the internationalisation of education reform, the global education space, policy 'borrowing' and the indigenisation of international practice.
All are welcome!
