This article examines the Kazakhstan’s social policies aimed to the enhancement of the standard and quality of life of its population, using inclusive education as an example. The provision of education to vulnerable groups is a key element of social policy in many countries. It is a vital factor in improving the comprehensive standard of living of the Kazakhstan population. The article reviews previous research on the impact of social policy on access to education for vulnerable groups and its affecting living standards in Kazakhstan. It discusses the shift towards an inclusive social policy that provides social protection for all based on human rights, in accordance with ILO recommendations No. 202, and standards of accessibility, adaptability, acceptability, and gender sensitivity (AAAG). This article suggests that a more comprehensive comprehension and implementation of the legal principle of equality and non-discrimination in inclusive education could assist the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Labour and Social Protection in enhancing inclusiveness in social protection programmes for students with special educational needs from all backgrounds. An analysis of research on social programmes and social protection in inclusive education could potentially assist policymakers in achieving the goal of a unhindered environment for students with special educational needs (SEN).
