The Ministry of Education or the Ministry of Enlightenment of the Republic of Kazakhstan (ME RK; Kazakh: Қазақстан Республикасының Оқу-ағарту министрлігі, ҚР ОМ; Russian: Министерство просвещения Республики Казахстан, МП РК) is a ministry of the Government of Kazakhstan responsible for state policy and administration in the fields of preschool, secondary, technical and vocational, post-secondary, and additional education, as well as the protection of children's rights and quality assurance in these areas. The ministry was established on 11 June 2022 following the division of the former Ministry of Education and Science.

History

At a session dedicated to the anniversary of the National Academy of Sciences in Almaty on 1 June 2022, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed reorganising the Ministry of Education and Science into two separate departments, noting the need to strengthen scientific coordination and improve the quality of Kazakhstani research publications.[1]

On 11 June 2022, this proposal was formalised by presidential decree, which split the Ministry of Education and Science into the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The newly formed Ministry of Education assumed responsibility for preschool, secondary, technical and vocational, and post-secondary education, as well as child-rights protection and quality assurance, while higher education and science functions were transferred to the new ministry.[2][3] From there, Ashat Aimagambetov was appointed as the education minister.[4]
