00:29em Kazaqstan e o maior Centro-Asia region,

00:32conectando com a Europa e além.

00:34Kazaqstan tem sido parte da Europa

00:36em higher educação área por 15 anos.

00:38Depois de joining o Bologna process

00:40em 2010,

00:41ela começou aligando as universidades

00:42com a Europa,

00:44improving a mobilidade,

00:45a degree reconhecimento e a qualidade.

00:47Agora, com demanda para a higher educação

00:49em crescimento de Centro-Asia,

00:51Kazaqstan está acelerando

00:53transnacional educação

00:54por invitar global universidades

00:56para abrir campos no seu soil.

00:58In the past three years alone,

01:00nearly 40 transnacional educação

01:02partnerships have been launched,

01:03including five university branch campuses.

01:05Western universities are already

01:07in active collaboration

01:08with Kazaqstan institutions,

01:10some with campuses open or underway.

01:12Leading the way are British universities,

01:14followed by major U.S. institutions.

01:17Kazaqstan plans to open

01:1834 more foreign university branches

01:20by 2029,

01:21aiming to increase its international student body

01:24nearly five-fold,

01:25from 31,500 today

01:28to 150,000.

01:30Of the current foreign students,

01:31nearly 40%

01:33come from India,

01:34mostly in recognized medical programs.

01:36For the first time,

01:37Asian students outnumbered those

01:39from the post-Soviet space.

01:40And in a striking reversal,

01:42more Russians are now studying in Kazaqstan

01:45than the other way around.

01:46To understand what's driving the shift,

01:48we spoke to the person

01:49leading the country's

01:50education transformation,

01:52Minister of Science

01:53and Higher Education,

01:54Sayasat Nurbek.

01:55So we had very clear vision,

02:00one, bringing good, big partnerships,

02:03and then try to attract

02:04as many foreign students as possible.

02:07Second, research is becoming huge

02:10on our agenda.

02:11A lot of these great universities

02:12now have access

02:14to critical minerals, for example.

02:16And so we are launching

02:17several joint research centers

02:19in critical minerals enrichment

02:21and mining and metallurgy.

02:23How are international

02:25and domestic students supported

02:26in their entrepreneurship

02:28and deep tech development?

02:30Every single university student

02:32in Kazaqstan will have to go

02:34for AI courses,

02:35get certificate out of 650,000 students.

02:38Over 4,000 students

02:40already have certificates.

02:42Then we're launching

02:42a $100 million seed fund

02:44just to fund AI startups

02:47of these college students

02:48and faculty members.

02:49And then we're going to go

02:50through AI entrepreneurship module.

02:53And so every single student

02:55will have a possibility

02:56to become what we now call

02:57UNOCORN,

02:58so one-person, billion-dollar company,

03:01a founder,

03:03with full support at every level,

03:05incubation, acceleration,

03:07and basic learning.

03:09What results are you seeing

03:10in aligning graduates

03:12with the global labor market?

03:15We'll have to wait

03:16for the first batch of graduates.

03:17and we, so far, so good.

03:20We have Nazarbayev University,

03:22we have De Montfort University,

03:23and their graduates

03:24are really good quality.

03:26I mean, I would say

03:27they comply with

03:28any international demand.

03:30About 70% of these students,

03:32they go and hire

03:33by international companies,

03:35global companies,

03:36big four companies.

03:38Some of them pursue

03:39their academic careers

03:40in top universities,

03:41best Ivy League,

03:43best Russell Group,

03:44best research-intensive universities

03:46in the world

03:46for their master's programs,

03:48PhD programs.

03:49They stand up

03:50to any international standard

03:52given by large companies,

03:55Fortune 500 companies.

03:56Well, Mr. Minister,

03:57it was such a pleasure

03:58having you on our program today.

04:00Thank you for carving out

04:01the time out of your busy schedule

04:03for us.

04:03Thank you.

04:04Thank you for having me.

04:07Private companies

04:08are also stepping up

04:09with global partnerships.

04:11One local company

04:11is opening the doors

04:13to a new British university.

04:16A British liberal arts university

04:19will open in Astana

04:20next September,

04:21bringing Western education

04:22closer to home.

04:23Offering degrees

04:24in business, AI,

04:25and education,

04:26it plans to grow

04:26from 100 to 400 students

04:28by 2029.

04:30My plan is for it

04:31to set the new standards,

04:34especially in a commercially

04:36competitive field

04:37where other big players

04:39will have to accept

04:41these roles

04:42and will have to improve

04:43their quality

04:44and will have to really care

04:45about their students

04:47and what kind of people

04:49their students will become.

04:50Gabit Bekahmetov says

04:51Kazakhstan's regional position

04:52and cultural diversity

04:53make it uniquely attractive

04:55for students seeking

04:55a cross-border education.

04:57In combination

04:58with the Soviet

05:00fundamental science,

05:04with the Chinese

05:05advances in innovations,

05:07with the Western standards

05:08and expectations

05:11and ambitions

05:12and all this

05:14and some kind of

05:15oriental kindness

05:19and hospitality

05:20included in that

05:22and combined

05:23with our nomadic dynamism,

05:26I think this is going

05:27to be a success risk.

05:29With more Western campuses

05:30opening,

05:31Gabit Bekahmetov believes

05:32Kazakhstan is on course

05:33to become a globally

05:34competitive education model.

05:35Four of Kazakhstan's

05:39top research universities

05:40have launched supercomputers

05:42with a combined capacity

05:43of 32 petaflops.

05:45That's 32 quadrillion

05:46calculations per second

05:48powerful enough

05:49to train AI models,

05:50process vast databases

05:51and run advanced

05:52scientific simulations.

05:54The country's flagship

05:55English language university

05:56is leading the way.

05:58Joining us in the studio

05:59is Nazarbayev University

06:00President

06:00Waqar Ahmad.

06:01Mr. Waqar, welcome

06:05and great to have you on.

06:06Thank you for the invitation.

06:07I'm delighted to be here.

06:08Can you tell us more

06:09about the types of

06:10fundamental and applied research

06:11your university plans to conduct

06:13with the supercomputer capabilities?

06:15Prime example is

06:16the development of Kaza LLM

06:17and as we develop further,

06:19we would need

06:20even greater computing

06:21power in order to do that.

06:24If you think that

06:25the basic model

06:25which was developed

06:26with the Kaza LLM

06:27is largely text-based.

06:29So Kaza LLM

06:30was a basic model.

06:31We're now building on it.

06:34So there are new systems

06:35which focus on voice recognition.

06:37There are new tools

06:39which are using

06:40image processing

06:42and so on.

06:43And some of the new models

06:44which will be developed

06:45in this area

06:45are going to be

06:46all singing,

06:47all dancing models

06:48which use text,

06:50which use sound,

06:51which use image

06:52and so on.

06:53Can you tell me

06:54how joint funds

06:55help reinforce

06:56Kazakhstan's standing

06:58as a regional academic

06:59and innovations hub?

07:00We are developing

07:00new kinds of partnerships

07:01but we're also looking

07:02at how we can use

07:04the money that we invest

07:05in research jointly.

07:07So let's say

07:08that if we are investing

07:09a million dollars

07:10in research

07:12in a particular area,

07:13if we were to go

07:13into partnership

07:14with two other universities

07:15and if they were

07:16to match our funding,

07:18we now have

07:18three million dollars

07:19that we can bid for

07:21and they can bid for

07:22but it also has

07:23the inbuilt advantage

07:24of collaborative research

07:26which would be

07:27of higher quality.

07:28it would get published

07:29in more prestigious journals,

07:32more people will use it,

07:34it would enhance

07:35the reputation

07:36of the university

07:37and the reputation

07:38of the country

07:39and it would also address

07:40fundamental questions

07:41which face

07:42whether they face

07:44the economy,

07:45whether they relate

07:45to climate change,

07:46whether they relate

07:47to international relations

07:48and so on.

07:49Thanks so much

07:49for being with us today.

07:51It's a pleasure.

07:51Bye for now

07:54and join us

07:55in the next episode

07:56of East West Connect.
