Abstract

Digitalization has become a trend that has penetrated into the spheres of our life, has an
impact and makes it possible not only to develop, but also to realize that it affects the socio-economic
and political realities of the modern world order, which are based on the digital economy. Exploring
this topic, the authors have identified leaders in the development of digitalization, such as South Korea,
Singapore, the United States, in principle, Kazakhstan still has a long work to do in this direction. The
authors set themselves the task of studying the digitalization of education, as they are direct participants
in this process. It should be noted that in Kazakhstan, the digitalization of education, the introduction of
e-education, with an appropriate online learning infrastructure, is developing within the framework of
national legislation and is supported at the national level in the format of educating the innovative mood
of the entire population. The relevance of the study is determined by the demand of the time, where
labor productivity and the country’s place in the competitiveness ranking are directly correlated with the
digitalization of the economy. It should be noted that in Kazakhstan, the digital ecosystem in the field of
all levels of education is developing and being modernized, we are trying to use the best world experience. To date, many issues in the field of digitalization of all levels of education, including higher education, are
being successfully solved in Kazakhstan. The globalization processes taking place in the world dictate their
conditions and call on Kazakh education to meet international standards, expand and focus on the quality
of content, as well as more active inclusion in the global context of the higher education services market.
