The Conceptual Foundations of Lifelong Learning in Kazakhstan: Process Modeling

Abstract

Considering the increased interest in ensuring the well-being of a person, lifelong learning takes a leading place in society. The aim of the research is to build the concept of LLL system for Kazakhstan based on the methodology of education and international best practices. The key idea of the research is to justify the LLL system, that provides coverage of the country's population with formal, non-formal and informal education to increase its competitiveness and basic competencies to the level of the OECD countries. To do this, we propose mechanisms that allow us to fully recognize the learning outcomes of formal, non-formal and informal education. The ideas were proposed by the authors to the Kazakhstan's Government on the creation of the Concept of Lifelong Learning.
