The Academy of Public Administration under the president of the Republic of Kazakhstan has been a member of the league of academic integrity since 2018.
The league of academic integrity is an association of universities whose mission is to improve the quality of education by introducing the principles of academic integrity and intolerance to its violation.
The values of the league are honesty, responsibility and transparency. The league pursues its goals by creating an institutional environment, including internal bodies, building standards of academic integrity, and multi-vector cooperation.
The independence of higher education institutions is an important stage in the development of the state education system. The main step in the further development of this system is the creation and strengthening of self-regulation of higher education institutions. In addition, for example, in international practice, this concept led to the creation of the American League of integrity and the British group “Russell”. These organizations are the drivers of improving the quality of education, and the universities included in them are among the most prestigious in the world.
The essence of the league’s activities is to participate in the development and improvement of regulatory legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan on issues related to the quality of higher education and affecting the interests of League members, promote the principles of academic integrity in organizations of higher and postgraduate education, as well as implement any projects aimed at improving the quality of education in Kazakhstan.
