This article provides a brief analysis of the development of human capital in Kazakhstan. The purpose of this study is to identify the main trends in the development of human capital in rural areas of Kazakhstan. The objective is to show the role of state programs and the importance of education in the development of human capital. The relevance of this issue lies in the fact that we need to determine the most effective directions for increasing the competitiveness of rural areas on the basis of the centuries-old theoretical and empirical basis for the development of human capital abroad. This article presents key indicators of the state program “Digital Kazakhstan” in the agricultural sector; the role of digitalization with an emphasis on the development of human capital is studied in detail and target indicators by 2022 are presented. It is indicated that the prevailing foundations and traditions, historical background and measures, currently being taken by the state, impact the development of human capital competitiveness in rural Kazakhstan. In the field of education in Kazakhstan, an important role is played by the wide distribution of massive open online courses dictated by the characteristics of the information society. This article describes the main challenges in higher and postgraduate education in Kazakhstan. Particular attention is paid to education and modern teaching technologies for the country’s farmers. Examples from international practice on the effective development of human capital are presented.
