Abstract

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the Unified National Testing (UNT) results as part of a large-scale study on the Child Well-being Index in Kazakhstan. Education plays a pivotal role in improving children's well-being, and high-quality education serves as a crucial indicator in this context. One of the primary factors reflecting the quality of the educational system is the success rate of students meeting the UNT threshold, which stood at 85.24% in 2023. The paper highlights significant achievements reached through the systematic efforts of the National Testing Center and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. At the same time, the study addresses the necessity of legislative regulation for preparatory centers and the further refinement of training methodologies. Key recommendations include the comprehensive strengthening of teacher training, the creation of effective socio-economic incentives to attract talented educators to schools, and the implementation of in-depth thematic analysis of UNT results to improve the efficiency of student assessment. The authors emphasize that this work contributes to understanding the need for systematic analysis and the continuous improvement of the UNT preparation system to ensure equal opportunities for students in Kazakhstan.
