Summary

This research examines the gap between Kazakhstan’s language policy and practice. Despite efforts to promote Kazakh, Russian dominates key sectors, creating inequalities for Kazakh speakers. By analysing structural and historical factors, the work aims to inform more effective policies that balance national identity, linguistic inclusion, and equitable access to education and opportunity.
