educational circles around the world, including Kazakhstan. One of the reasons is the neglect of class
participation in the current assessment models. This policy brief outlines the significance of class
participation, considers the relation between class participation and improvement of academic
performance, reviews the existing assessment practices, and argues for the inclusion of class participation
as one of the aspects of assessment system in Kazakhstani organizations for secondary education.

The Key Drivers of the Unified National Test in Kazakhstan: A Critical Analysis of its Impact on School Leavers
Jumabayeva, Zhanna
This study is aimed to identify the key drivers of the Unified National Test in Kazakhstan and to determine its
impact on school leavers. The main key drivers of implementing the new assessment policy include the following:
saving students’ time, receiving school certificate and combating corruption. The paper also considers whether the
Unified National Test is a successful assessment policy. This investigation indicates that there are both advantages
and disadvantages in implementing the Unified National Test. For example, with the introduction of new system
of assessment, there have been many changes in students’ lives. However, some of these changes are considered
as hopeless as they caused social problems like suicide. There were also different issues appeared since the
introduction of the Unified National Test including private tutoring, the importance of core subjects, which led to
a narrowing of a school curriculum, the hidden curriculum titled Course preparation for the Unified National Test and
quality gap in education among various population groups. The results of this study show that the structure in the
Unified National Test is overall good, but it can be improved for the better.
