EXPANDING THE AUTONOMY OF HIGHER AND POSTGRADUATE EDUCATION ORGANIZATIONS BY IMPROVING THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE FUNCTIONING OF THE ENDOWMENT FUND

The article discusses the issues of establishing and managing endowment funds in Kazakhstan. Leading universities in developed countries widely use such funds to ensure long-term financial stability and innovative development. However, the absence of an appropriate legal framework in Kazakhstan limits their potential utilization. The study proposes legislative measures to secure the financial stability of scientific and educational institutions. Developing a specialized law will attract investments, implement long-term development strategies, and enhance the resilience of universities. The proposed measures aim to ensure effective fund management, investment protection, and operational transparency. The research results highlight the significance of endowment funds for Kazakhstan and their role in improving the competitiveness of the national education system.
