In March 2013 president of the Military-Strategic Research Center Bakytzhan Abdiraiym pointed that one of the main problems of Kazakhstan’s army is military education. He suggested to reconsider the whole system of military education and argued that Kazakhstan need highly intellectual officers, which study not only in military academies but also in top universities of the world. There was also stress on emotional factor as there is need in psychological fitness and stress resistance.
Since this time, Kazakhstan agreed with several states to cooperate in military education as part of bilateral cooperation. For example, agreement with China in 2015 regarding free technical assistance for Kazakhstan’s army and cooperating in military education. (Part of Kazakhstan’s military personnel is educated in Chinese military academies) Moreover, from fall 2016 Kazakhstan’s military academies introduced new disciplines as military ethics, military logistics, military radio electronics and engineering, military management and military jurisprudence. This is also a part of development of state’s military education.
In addition, Astana Times informs that US and Kazakhstan developed a project for 2016-2017 military cooperation. It is directed to improve professionalism of military and developing the military education. As US interested in regional security of Central Asia it will assist Kazakhstan’s military academies with teaching methods and considers cadets exchange.
According to Bruneau and Tollefson (2006), military education should inculcate loyalty to civilians and directed to avoid coups and other interference in states politics. It should develop professional behavior and teach respect and obedience to higher administration.
Kazakhstan is in right way of developing its military education as it cooperates with states that have strong militaries. It already had been improved much as young men willing to be in Armed forces are more than the army needs. This is mostly because military is in process of professionalization and military capacities are improved by time.
