Abstract:
Entrepreneurship is currently one of the most significant, strategically important and
priority sectors of the national economy. It plays a key role in the economic growth and
industrial development. The entrepreneurship education is a pillar to economic development.
The purpose of this study is to analyze how effective the Kazakhstan government is in managing
entrepreneurship and to study the experience in developing entrepreneurial education. An
empirical research identified the strengths and weaknesses of government regulation of
enterprises and entrepreneurship education in Kazakhstan. It turned out that the state support
and development programs for entrepreneurship are being actively implemented. The new
enterprises are being created, the mechanism of state enterprise management is being improved,
and the system taxation and investor protection are being improved. The foreign economic
activity of business entities is being actively encouraged. Some shortcomings of the government
systems regulating enterprises were also identified. The truth is that citizens are not quite aware
of that private entrepreneurship development and competition leads to better quality of goods
and services, to a decrease in prices, and to an increase in the number of jobs and wages. To
promote entrepreneurship education in Kazakhstan, a Business Advisor Project was
implemented. This program teaches entrepreneurs how to start their own business or optimize an
already established company. The state provides grants to those involved in entrepreneurship
education. The results of this study can be used when designing entrepreneurship education
programs.
