  • Summary

    This chapter is a case study that describes the reality of innovation and reform of the content of school education in a single region in the south of Kazakhstan. The region has a mix of urban and rural schools, although the majority are rural in nature since agricultural employment dominates the local economy with some very remote locations and many families on low incomes. Despite the difficulties of geography, ethnic diversity and poverty, the research showed that the regional authority tended to adopt a ‘can-do’ attitude and looked for solutions to implement the Renewed Content of Education successfully rather than respond passively. There were pockets of resistance evident which prevented full implementation of the Renewed Content of Education. Such instances demonstrated the magnitude of transformation expected and the critical role of communication between regional authorities, district authorities, schools and parents.
