Kazakhstan is a country undergoing massive educational reform including the introduction of a trilingual policy in all schools.

Since 2012, Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) has been working together with departments of the Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools (NIS) group to produce external assessments which test the knowledge and skills present in the curriculum introduced under the Integrated Programme of Development (IPD).

This paper sets out to examine the application of a Western construct of the three primary purposes of national summative assessment to post-Soviet context undergoing educational reform. These purposes are defined as assessment for: learning; certification and school accountability (Black, 1998).

Teacher Competence Beliefs on Classroom Assessment Practices in Secondary Schools in Kazakhstan. The Development of External Assessments in Multiple Languages. A Test of Learning, Certification or Accountability? Perceptions of Standardized Testing in Kaz

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!
