    Many emerging markets and middle-income countries use international scholarship programs as a long-established approach to human capital development. However, many graduates of international scholarship programs put great efforts to succeed in their home country and face many challenges when navigating the labour market. In fact, socio-economic factors including lack of jobs, saturated fields caused by an overly competitive domestic labour market, inflated salary expectations make it challenging for the international scholarship graduates to land a job after graduation. This paper explores the employment experiences of Kazakhstani government scholarship programs’ graduates majoring in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and sheds light on the challenges the graduates face when navigating the domestic labour market. An analysis based on 45 interviews shows that international scholarship graduates enjoy a positional advantage in the labor market and many of them have built a successful career. Despite this, their employment and career prospects are hampered by intertwining socio-economic and cultural factors, intergenerational clashes and scholarship program rules and regulations. Recommendations for minimizing the issues that graduates face when navigating the labor market are discussed. Keywords: graduate employability, international education, scholarship programs, labor market, employability challenges

The purpose of the article is to diagnose the professional needs of Kazakhstani rural teachers of Russian language and literature and to identify factors contributing to their professional development. To determine the assessment of the activities, working conditions and professional development of Kazakhstani teachers in comparison with other countries, the results of the international study of the teaching staff on teaching and learning TALIS-2018 were analyzed. The method of secondary data analysis based on a large-scale study was used, as a result of which it has high validity. In addition, a survey was conducted to determine the needs of rural teachers and factors that negatively or favorably affect their professional development. More than 70 rural teachers of Russian language and literature of Almaty region took part in the online survey.

    The article states that the academic writing course is the primary discipline that forms a critical skill necessary for developing students' research skills. Researchers point out that the absence of consistent academic writing practices in Kazakhstan has emerged as an essential issue. Additionally, it is described that this discipline is included in the Doctorate Educational Program. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the course “Theory and Practice of Academic Writing” and to determine the method of reliable verification of students’ feedback. Throughout the study, the authors analyzed student survey responses to assess students' understanding of course material, use of information, and individual learning process. A survey was conducted to analyze the study quantitatively. The survey was taken from the students of Korkyt Ata Kyzylorda University. SPSS version 26 was used in the analysis of survey results. The methodological value of the research is determined by the need for future researchers to choose a reliable research method tool when receiving feedback from students at the end of the course, not limited to quantitative methods but also qualitative methods. In the discussion, the article's authors focused on the advantages of a student survey when measuring the course content. The Student Survey is the most common tool for measuring course content worldwide. The authors concluded that combining surveys with qualitative methods allows researchers to obtain comprehensive prospects for the effective functioning of the teaching methodology and the implementation of the course.
