On January 27, 2023, KazNARU hosted an online/offline meeting of the Educational and Methodological Association - Project Management Groups in the field of training "Agriculture and Bioresources", "Veterinary" of the Republican Educational and Methodological Council at NJSC Kazakh National Agrarian Research University on the topic: “Harmonization educational programs in the areas of training "Agriculture and bioresources", "Veterinary". The council was attended by members of EMA-PMG (128 - online, 38 - offline).

The issue of updating or re-development of educational programs in the field of education "Agriculture and bioresources" was considered in accordance to the updated professional standards in the field of agriculture, which were given in letter No. 1550/04-322 of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated November 29, 2022.

The meeting was chaired by the Deputy Chairman of EMA-PMG Ainur Kaiyrbaeva. She mentioned, that Educational programs that require updating are conducted in 22 higher educational institutions of the country (a group of educational programs "6B081-Agronomy" in 16 universities of the country; "6B082-Livestock" - 12 universities; "6B083-Forestry" - 8; "6B084-Fisheries" - 5; "6B087-Agroengineering" - 9; "6B086-Water resources and water use" - 7; "6B091-Veterinary" - 9).

In this regard, it is necessary to optimize academic mobility and educational programs between universities that train agricultural personnel. In the register of higher and postgraduate education programs of KazNARU (ESUVO) there are 59 EPs at the undergraduate level, 89 EPs at the master's level and 21 EPs at the doctoral level. Totally 169 educational programs are being implemented, including 139 current, 10 innovative and 20 new EPs.

Now, thanks to academic freedom in universities, each university develops its own educational programs and registers the module of the university component in different registries (ESUVO), which prevents students from avoiding the problem of subject incompatibility when transferring to other higher education institutions, and that this creates difficulties in the implementation of internal academic mobility in the republic.

Therefore, based on the letter sent by the Center for the Bologna Process and Academic Mobility dated November 29, 2022, it is necessary to coordinate the modules of the university component in connection with the updating of professional standards in the field of education in agriculture and bioresources. For this, the academic committees created in the areas of training should be in close contact with the higher educational institutions that are part of the REMC EMA-PMG in the areas of training "Agriculture and bioresources", "Veterinary", when developing professional standards.
