Exploring Social Class Differences in Urban Parents' School Choices in Kazakhstan
Zhuldyz Amankulova; Christopher Whitsel
European Education, v56 n2 p140-154 2024
A diverse education market has formed in Kazakhstan since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Previous studies of educational choice in Central Asia have laid a general foundation, but greater insight into class differences has not been studied in Central Asia. We utilize data collected in 2015 from over 300 households in six cities in Kazakhstan to compare social class and ethnic differences in parents' choices in the educational market. We found only slight differences in school choice based on social class, as measured by wealth and parental education. Ethnic differences were also slight.
