Brief Project Description

 

The KUTEL pilot project aims to strengthen the role of higher education (HE) in Kazakhstan, a strategic tool to stimulate economic growth, increase employment, and therefore – the quality of life and social well-being of citizens. KUTEL promotes the reform and modernization of HE through the introduction of a national quality assurance (QA) system for training using technologies (TUT), new and complex in the EU and Kazakhstan, the implementation of accreditation standards, guidelines and procedures for QA courses and training programs for ICU at the national / international level.

Thus, KUTEL will help to increase the number of students, despite the difficult conditions of unsustainable economic growth, through the widespread use of electronic-learning and high-quality learning.

The main results, that meet current needs and support EU / EU priorities:

  1. Accreditation standards, guidelines and quality assurance (QA) procedures for the development of ICT training programs in Kazakhstan in accordance with EU practice;
