REFORMING LABOR LEGISLATION IN THE FIELD OF EDUCATION: PROSPECTS FOR SOCIAL PARTNERSHIP AND LEGAL REGULATION

Abstract

At the present stage, labor relations in the field of education are becoming an urgent form of legal
reform. The peculiarity of the existing labor relations in this area is that they are not limited only to economic aspects,
but have a complex character aimed at the development of social, cultural and human capital. The need to determine
the legal status of teachers in the Republic of Kazakhstan, protect their labor rights, improve working conditions, and
introduce social partnership mechanisms in educational institutions is considered one of the most important
prerequisites for modernizing the education system.
The purpose of this research work is to scientifically substantiate the directions of legal reform of labor
relations in the field of education, the role of the Institute of Social Partnership and effective mechanisms of legal
regulation. The study, based on a comparative and analytical review of international experience and the national
legal framework, identifies shortcomings and legal gaps in ensuring the labor rights of education workers. In addition,
ways to increase the social protection of teachers and strengthen legal guarantees in resolving labor disputes will be
proposed. The article highlights the need for comprehensive regulation of complex legal relations arising at the
intersection of labor law and the right to education, and scientifically analyzes the prospects for the development of
social partnership mechanisms (collective agreements, agreements, the role of professional associations and trade
unions) in this area.
