Abstract

The article is devoted to the formation of the cultural policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan at
the present stage. The principles of cultural policy laid down in the concept - priority of the national cultural
heritage, recognition of culture as a factor of growth and social development, respect for cultural diversity,
freedom of creativity, and cultural self-expression has been identified as a single platform for the development
of the sector, which gives integrity and sustainability to the strategic direction of development.
The most significant priority on a national scale is a deep concept of the cultural code of the nation and its
constituent components as heritage, traditions, customs, language, family, economic systems, and holidays.
The concept clearly emphasizes that the support of traditional values, and the formation, and development
of moral guidelines that define national identity is an important condition for the active participation of Kazakh
culture in the global cultural dialogue. During the years of independence, an independent cultural policy
was carried out in the Republic of Kazakhstan, formulated in the decrees of the President of the Republic of
Kazakhstan, and government resolutions.
As a result, the authors came to the conclusion that the key directions of modernization of national
consciousness in the XXI century are competitiveness, pragmatism, preservation of national identity, the cult of
knowledge, evolutionary development, and openness of consciousness applied both at the individual and at the
public level. Hence the following conclusion is that the modernization of social consciousness is of particular
importance and relevance now, as the modern world is increasingly changing.
And today it is a historic moment to study the culture and traditions of the peoples inhabiting the Republic
of Kazakhstan. And it is the formation of the state policy in the sphere of culture that plays a big role.
