The author found two mistakes in the references and three typos. Below is the list of appropriate corrections. On page 3, the following sentence was linked to the wrong reference: "According to Marginson (2006, p. 8), national higher education sectors are already segmented into elite research universities, aspirant research universities, and teaching focused HEIs." The correct citation is as follows: Marginson, S. (2006). Dynamics of national and global competition in higher education. Higher education, 52(1), 1-39. On page 4, the name of Satpayev University is repeated twice in the following sentence. The correct sentence is as follows: “Among the top-15 HEIs, which received educational grants in 2016, five national universities (Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, L. N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University, Kazakh National Agrarian University, Abai Kazakh National Pedagogical University, and Satpayev Kazakh National Research Technical University) accounted for 26 % of the total amount (Aulbekova, 2017) (see Fig. 1).” On page 6, in line 8, column “2021” of the Table 4, one zero was left out. The correct range for the respective university is 801-1000. On page 11, in the following sentence one in-text citation was left-outю The correct version is as follows: “However, considering that the actual improvement of universities was found mixed and the challenge of corruption complicating the Central Asian landscape of higher education (Heyneman, 2010), the criteria of the QS WUR ignore critical dimensions of university development in Central Asia, for example, ethical dimension (Heyneman, 2014).” Finally, on page 11, in the Author Statement, the word “busyness” should be instead of the word “business”. The correct sentence should be as follows: “Initially, my research supervisor Professor Sulushash Kerimkulova (Nazarbayev University) planned to co-write the paper with me, but she could not join the work due to her busyness.” The author would like to apologize for any inconvenience caused by these typos.
