On May 3, 2023, an external audit of the IAAR (independent agency for accreditation and rating) expert group on international accreditation of the Arkalyk Pedagogical Institute named after Y. Altynsarin was held.

Taking into account the results of the external evaluation, the Accreditation Council decided that 23 educational programs of NJSC "Arkalyk Pedagogical Institute named after Y. Altynsarin" meet the necessary requirements for obtaining International accreditation.

It should be noted that the Independent Agency for Accreditation and Rating IAAR operates not only to improve the quality and competitiveness of the organization of education and educational programs, but also to provide up-to-date information on recognized (accredited) educational organizations and educational programs, on the ranking of universities and educational programs, which allow you to determine the competitive advantages of an educational institution, increase its authority and raise its image in the national and international markets of educational services.
