Following development work with Cambridge Faculty of Education the NIS schools established themselves as leaders of practice and curriculum development across Kazakhstan’s 13 government regions. The NIS Centre of Excellence has been given the responsibility of training all state schools in Kazakhstan in how to use research lesson study and action research to help implement the country’s revised national curriculum and to share the effective classroom practices that result, across the country.

At the launch ceremony Ms Kabdykarimova described the moment as the beginning of a long partnership through which the educational research and innovations of Kazakhstani teachers could be searched and shared for the benefit of teachers in Kazakhstan and across the world. Peter Dudley described Kazakhstan’s adoption of lesson study as a remarkable achievement that has helped Kazakhstan to be named by the OECD as Central Asia’s regional hub for educational development and said he was confident that Kazakhstan’s NIS- Camtree partnership would help support this work.
