Abstract
The article analyzes the current state and problems of forensic education in the Republic of Kazakhstan as well as offers recommendations for improvement of the relevant training system. Special attention is paid to the experience of Russia where there is a system of educational institutions and research centers engaged in training and retraining of forensic experts, which contributes to the development of highly qualified personnel. The issues of nostrification of documents are considered with regard to the foreign education framework in the field of forensic science. It is shown that forensic education in Kazakhstan requires expansion of the list of expert specialties and unification and institutional strengthening as well. The results obtained can be used in the development of new educational programs, improvement of legal framework and international cooperation in the area of forensic examination.
