“Humanities and Pedagogy” Department of Academician A. Kuatbekov Peoples ‘ Friendship University  (PFU) was established after the reorganization of Humanities and Technology Department according to the Rector’s order in 2006. Over the years, the Department has paid a particular attention to ensuring a close connection between three types of activities: educational, scientific and innovational. Humanities and Pedagogy Department, developing the whole range of pedagogical, social and humanitarian areas, undoubtedly, has its own specifics.

Department activity is based on creating a system and structure of continuing education, saturated with active scientific research at all stages: from secondary, higher and postgraduate education to professional retraining. In the context of educational activity, the department is guided by the State education standards for undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate studies.

Currently the Republic of Kazakhstan Ministry of Education and Science is actively discussing and developing possible options for restructuring the education system. The fundamental change is in the content, technological, organizational and legal foundations of higher education institutions activities. The grounds for restructuring universities activities are the Bologna process regulations, modern requirements of  social and economic development of society and new management concepts. The need to maintain university sustainable development in these conditions involves the development of university strategic restructuring program in accordance with modern state educational policy.

Ultimately, all of these should be reflected in training specialists who will be able to successfully solve their employment problems in a market economy conditions and increased competition in the labor market.

A significant tool for the modernization of the department is strategic management and strategic planning.

Academic mobility – the movement of students and teachers of higher educational institutions for a certain period of time to another educational or scientific institution within or outside their own country for the purpose of teaching or teaching.

The main barriers to academic mobility are cultural, socio-economic and academic barriers. The Bologna process is an attempt to reduce these obstacles within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA).

Students participating in academic mobility programs are usually divided into two groups: the so-called frimuvers – students who go to other educational institutions on their own initiative on self-financing conditions, and program students who are participants in student exchange programs on the basis of faculty, faculty, educational institution or organizations at the national level (for example, such as Erasmus, Nordplus or the Fulbright program). At present, the Erasmus exchange program, which has already become traditional for European students and teachers (which implies such movements), was supplemented with an element of virtual mobility, or Virtual Erasmus, thanks to which students from different countries can study together without leaving their homes.
