I am sure that our countries have mutual aim and big perspectives to strengthen cooperation in this field", Minister of Higher Education and Intellectual Property Mr. David Lammy said at the meeting.

The majority of Bolashak scholarship holders prefer to choose British Universities to obtain higher education, Paul Brummel, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Great Britain to Kazakhstan noted. "The administration of British leading universities is ready to take active part in creation of a new international university in Astana. Professional technical education is no less important and we have some achievements in this sphere", the Ambassador said.
