Introduction

Nowadays,the attention of the government focused on education of rising generation. In the modern world in every field of activity we have competition including education. The process of education is essential as for the people, as for the development of country. To be in the list of competitive countries Kazakhstan is doing all required actions, especially in the sphere of education. For the socio - economic development Kazakhstan needs high educated people, who are professionals of their work, it influenced to opening intellectual schools and universities for students. As for schools, in 2008 year, by the order of president of Kazakhstan, a project of intellectual schools for exceptional students had been started. These schools were named in honor for the first president of Kazakhstan,The Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools are a network of schools for exceptional students throughout Kazakhstan. As a matter of fact, by the end of 2014 year there have to be opened 20Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools and at these days this project was successfully done. Intellectual Schools are intended to become an experimental platform for the development, research, analysis, monitoring.

With reference to “Tempuskaz Belight”, in 2006 68 public universities and 109 private universities presented higher education.

Tempus is one of the programs of European community refers to facilitating the process of socio-economic reforms and development in partner countries. Among the partner countries currently, countries of the Western Balkans, Eastern Europe (including Russia) and Central Asia, and several Mediterranean countries were included. The mobility of students, academic and administrative staff of universities from the member countries of the European Union and from partner countries can be a part of the project in the framework of the Tempus program.

Therefore, I hold a viewpoint that due to these programs, the exchange of international and local experience will develop and affect to increase the education rate of Kazakhstan.

Context

Initially, experience exchange affects to a high level of English language through the country. The program of Nursultan Nazarbayev has direct link for the development of international language. A unique thing that Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools recruit their international teachers, who came from different countries through the world. Three education programs by levels were entered to school: elementary school, which includes pre-school education and training, primary school and high school.

Therefore , in high school students are adapted to study subjects like Mathematics, Biology , Chemistry , Physics , Geography , ICT , Global Perspectives , Economics in English, which allows them to enterhigher educational establishment or study abroad. Nowadays Kazakhstan presents condition, that student can have a choice, after graduation, students can choose in which group they will study, a group with national language – Kazakh, or Russian language, or international language – English language. Due to in NIS programs, it will enter on programs of the secondary schools, lyceums and gymnasiums, so through all Kazakhstan. According to the head of Department of MES RK Banu Narbekova, new format of studying subjects in English should enter to the programs of all schools by 2020 and more than 10 thousand students were trained on multilingual education in 42 schools in the country. Hence, plan to enter it into programs of all schools of Kazakhstan realizing year by year and affecting for the development of country.

Referencing to the Kazinform news, In Kazakhstan significantly increased the level of knowledge of English among the adult population, people from 18 to 34 years. These data showed by the results of a global survey EF English Proficiency Index, which was attended by 750 thousand people from 63 countries.The level of English among the adult population of Kazakhstan increased by 11.23 points in the past 7 years, which is significant improvement than in some other countries. Despite this progress, professional level of English in Kazakhstan has remained below the regional averages for groups of all ages and is situated in the segment of countries, limited English skills, taking 54th place. In addition, the survey indicates that women in Kazakhstan speak English better than men, and gender inequalities are considerably greater than in other parts of Asia. (See Appendix A). Thus, it can be noticed that all countries are paying special attention on International language and also that it is improving all over the world.

Performances of citizens were increased, today in international rankings Kazakhstan has good positions - 14th place out of 177 countries in terms of literacy.

Kazakhstan in the last four years is highly appreciated by international experts and in four leading countries in education development index (EDI) among 129 countries in the world, ahead of Japan, UK, Germany and other countries.

According to the Global Competitiveness Index (GCI) Kazakhstan in 2012 was on 51 place among 144 countries participating in the ranking. Improvement of positions, growing for 21 position up - the result of the successful implementation of the political course of the President.

Furthermore, according to the Trading Economics news, unemployment rate in Kazakhstan reached 4.90%. There are a great number of people who are willing to find a job, for that reason they have to be high educated to find stable work for them, also for the companies it is better to have good specialists in order to employees take part in developing their company. In addition to that, experience exchange affects to the professional development of local teachers. Sending them abroad by program Bolashak. International scholarship "Bolashak" is for studying of citizens who are conducting lessons in high schools in order to have an internship abroad.

The Decree of President of the republic of Kazakhstan was established about program Bolashak International Scholarship on November 5, 1993. (“Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan”). According to the “Development department of Zhambyl region”, the main benefit of this program is that getting guaranteed job in the company or organization after completing internship, where the application submitted. Therefore, this program will cause to decreasing the average unemployment rate in Kazakhstan.
