Students are given control

Students are becoming controllers of their own universities - from now on students will be allowed to participate in the accreditation process by a special decree of the Ministry of Education. Today leaders of Alliance of KAzakhstan Students told us how their are going to inspect their study insitutions. In order to avoid subjective interpretation and prosecution by the administrations of their universities, leaders of this yourth organization plan to introduce a rule which would enable students from one university to inspect another university (or this could be called peer review). Students claim their opinion will be taken into consideration before any decision on any specific higher institution is taken.
