This article examines Kazakhstans approach to developing science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) competencies in future teachers by analyzing educational programs (EPs) and key aspects of STEM education implementation. The purpose is to provide an in-depth understanding of Kazakhstans strategy for developing STEM skills in future educators through an analysis of existing EPs and the examination of implementation practices. Using quantitative and qualitative content analysis, this study reviews diverse publication sources from 2019 to 2023, including scientific journals, research projects, social media, and EPs. The findings highlight critical aspects of STEM education in Kazakhstan: curriculum integration, teacher training status, innovative teaching approaches, infrastructure development, and government support. Notably, the formation of STEM competencies among science teachers is considered essential in Kazakhstans modern teacher education, aligning with global practices. Effective STEM education implementation in Kazakhstan requires further program development incorporating STEM technologies, increased funding, and the application of international expertise.
