Exploring Educational Leadership Models in Kazakhstan

Abstract

The objectives of the present research are as follows: to determine the leadership styles which are most frequently applied among leaders in Kazakhstan and to provide a literature review containing the data on the contemporary approaches to school leadership. Research on school leadership in Kazakhstan and the approaches employed within is the primary emphasis. Leadership education in Kazakhstan is one of the most promising new areas in the country's educational landscape. While the study acknowledges that the Kazakhstani school leadership approach defies the exact style, it suggests that it may be characterised as transformative. Readers will be able to better understand the topic's current level of knowledge and identify where more study is needed due to this review of recent studies. Regarding educational leadership in Kazakhstan, there seems to be a considerable information vacuum. School directors in Kazakhstan employ a variety of leadership styles, and this research uses a systematic literature review to examine the style of leadership. Our research set out to identify typical leadership styles and analyse their connections to regional and international educational goals and benchmarks. This method seeks to fill the information vacuum and aid in the creation of a stronger and more applicable framework for school leadership in Kazakhstan.
