Abstract

The article provides an analysis of the Unified National Testing (UNT) results within the framework of the Child Well-being Index study in Kazakhstan. Education plays a crucial role in improving children's well-being, and the quality of education is a key indicator in this context. One of the main factors reflecting the quality of the educational system is the success rate of students passing the UNT threshold, which reached 85,24% in 2023. The article highlights the achievements made possible by the efforts of the National Testing Center and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, while also addressing the regulation of preparatory centers and the improvement of preparation methods. Key recommendations include strengthening teacher training, creating incentives to attract educators to rural schools, and implementing thematic analysis of UNT results to enhance the effectiveness of student knowledge assessment. This work emphasizes the need for systematic analysis and improvement of the UNT preparation system to ensure equal opportunities for students in Kazakhstan.
