- 13,000 foreign students study in Kazakhstan. 1,700 of them are from China. The number of Kazakhstanis receiving education in China also reaches 13,000 people.

As a results of successful cooperation in the field of education, thousands of Kazakhstanis have been trained in leading Chinese universities. Qualified specialists apply their experience and knowledge in Kazakhstan. At the same time, students from China learn the Kazakh language and are interested in culture.

Presentation of 20 Kazakhstani universities took place in major Chinese cities. Such a presentation was a unique opportunity to acquaint China with our opportunities in education, attract students and conclude new agreements.
