Abstract:
The drastic socio-economic and political changes that swept through the post-Soviet space in the last decade
of the 20th century had a significant impact on the state of the education system in Kazakhstan. In this article
there is considered the historiography of the problem of cooperation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the
field of higher education with foreign countries in the 1990's and early 2000's. Three groups of studies have
been selected and analyzed: Soviet, foreign and domestic. A complex analysis of the main works for each
group was carried out. The authors come to the conclusion that the problem of the development of international
relations in the sphere of education in Kazakhstan has not been practically developed, and this explains
the absence of complex works.
