I read only 1 chapter from this book which is quite selfish)) the chapter is about NIS experience and the Trilingual Educational Policy. The chapter is very informative and useful for those interested in researching educational reforms and trilingualism in Kazakhstan. But I felt like reading about the country I don't know. It is too good to believe. I just hope that all the intended reforms will bring the intended outcomes.
