AN ANALYSIS OF THE WAYS TO ENHANCE THE ROLE OF WOMEN IN HIGHER EDUCATION AND THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN DECISION AKING PROCESSES IN KAZAKHSTAN

The issue of increasing women's involvement in the higher education systems of Kazakhstan and other countries remains relevant. Women's participation in crucial university decisions nationwide is equally important. This article focuses on women's unique organizational abilities, which have led to significant successes and dividends for the institutions and companies they lead. Identifying solutions to these issues is crucial. One key approach to enhancing women's roles in Kazakh society and the country's higher education system is to boost their political engagement, involvement in political parties and women's organizations, and participation in elections. This pathway often paves the way for women to assume leadership roles, especially in higher education. Advocating for their rights through Kazakh laws and international gender conventions is another effective strategy to empower women in the higher education systems of Kazakhstan and beyond. Seeking support from governmental bodies like Parliament, the Government, ministries (including the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan), the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Republic of Kazakhstan, and trade union institutions can help women protect their rights, including the right to hold leadership positions.
