Abstract:
Development of higher education ordinarily indicates the level of development of the country as a whole.
This also refers to the accessibility of higher education, which is taken into account in the calculation of many
world indexes that characterize the development of a particular state in the world ranking. The accessibility of
higher education is one of the priorities for the development of higher education in Kazakhstan in accordance
with the State Program for the Development of Education and Science for 2016–2019. The accessibility of
higher education depends on many factors, including the standard of living of the population, tuition fees, financing
of education by the state, the availability of various mechanisms for admission to higher education
institutions. The article analyzes the accessibility of higher education in Kazakhstan, which results in drawing
a conclusion that it is necessary to strengthen integration processes in the field of higher education aimed at
improving the level of accessibility of education in higher education institutions of the country.
