1.Introduction
K. Zhubanov Aktobe Regional State University (hereinafter - ARSU) was formed on the basis
of Government Decree № 529 of May 29, 2013 through the merger of K. Zhubanov Aktobe State
University and Aktobe State Pedagogical Institute. Officially ARSU registered on August 29, 2013.
The strategic plan of ARSU is based on the tasks set by the President of Kazakhstan N.A.
Nazarbayev in the Strategy “Kazakhstan-2050”, Message of January 31, 2017, “The Third
Modernization of Kazakhstan: Global Competitiveness”, by the Strategic Plan of the Ministry of
Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2017-2021, which provide for systemic
modernization of the entire education sector. It is entrusted to improve the system of higher
education, which allows to prepare leaders and highly qualified specialists necessary for the growth
and socio-economic development of the country.
Also, the Strategic Plan takes into account regional factors of the Aktobe region and the
Western area:
1. High level of industrialization. The region is positioned as the center of the oil and gas, mining
and metallurgical industries. Under the program "Development of Regions" Aktobe agglomeration
is defined as a metallurgical cluster and a transport and logistics center of the region. The
industrialization map of the country includes 73 Aktobe investment projects with the creation of
more than 10,0 thousand new jobs.
2. A significant number of enterprises with foreign capital. There are more than 300 enterprises with the participation of foreign capital, mainly in the oil and gas sector in the Aktobe region. There is a task of
replacing foreign personnel with domestic workers. Teaching them English and / or Chinese.
3. Active development in the region of pre-school education organizations. Since 2010, the program "Balapan" has been successfully implemented. During this period, 141 pre-school organizations were opened
in the region, thanks to this program, the coverage of pre-school education was 85%. It is planned to open
more than 20 kindergartens.
4. Growing need of teachers for high schools and colleges. Due to a large proportion of small schools in the region (52%) and the transition to 12 years of secondary education.
5. The need for accelerated training of undergraduates for educational institutions in the Western
region. The contingent of undergraduates in universities of the Western region is not more than 3% of the total number of students. It is 1.7% in ARSU. Whereas, according to the State Program for the Development
of Education of the RK for 2011–2020, teachers with a master’s degree in education should work in
specialized classes (10–12).
6. High need for the preparation of doctoral students for universities in the Western region.
The contingent of doctoral students in universities in the Western region is approximately 0.1% of
the total number of students. In ARSU - 0.01%.
7. Incomplete employment of graduates. The share of university graduates trained by state order,
employed by profession in the first year after graduation in Atyrau region - 48%, Aktobe and
Kyzylorda regions - 54%, Mangistau - 56%, with an average for the republic - 65%.
8. Outflow of graduates of schools in border regions to universities in Russia. Since the last 3
years in the Aktobe region, almost a third of school graduates do not pass the UNT.
9. Ecology problems of the region. Due to the rapid development of industry and the legacy of the
Soviet Union. On the territory of Western Kazakhstan, significant areas of land were used as test
nuclear test sites (in Atyrau Region — Azgir and Taisoigan, Ural — Lyra 6, Aktyubinsk — Batolit,
Mangystau — Say-Utes and Koshkar-Ata).
