Today, access to education remains a severe problem in Kazakhstan. Despite the Government's efforts to improve the education system, more efforts should be made to improve the availability of educational resources for all population segments. This article presents a bibliometric analysis of more than 42 sources from various databases, 22 unique journals have been identified. The main formats of the included research are journal articles, books, scientific documents, conference materials and reports. The authors revealed that most scientific articles are published in journals indexed in the most extensive databases, such as Scopus, WoS, PubMed, JSTOR, EconLit and others. The reviewed literature contains articles of various types, including descriptive and empirical, covering education-related topics. The range of research papers studied covered documents published between 1961 and 2023. The main problems of education raised in the selected articles include accessibility, quality, inequality in access to education, the cost of education, lack of attention to research, insufficient training and inadequate social infrastructure. The analysis of these articles included several stages, including analysis of the time volumes of selected journals, data visualization using a landscape map and keyword analysis. Solving the problems of accessibility in the field of education requires the development of distance education, improvement of infrastructure, government programs, training and partnership of the state, business and educational institutions. The introduction of technologies, especially ICT, promises to change the educational landscape, but for the successful implementation of reforms, it is also necessary to consider existing political constraints.
