Abstract
This qualitative study explores some of the current issues that small rural schools of South Kazakhstan have to face nowadays, especially in relation to the on-going implementation of educational reforms. The focus is placed on one particular school located in Shymkent Oblast where the author used to teach in the 80s. She returned to the community after almost 30 years, using critical ethnography to investigate the ways in which students, teachers and community members are coping with the challenges generated by the reforms. Part of the problem she observed was the potential danger of the school losing the role it had traditionally played in unifying the community.
