In this article, the authors consider the quality assurance system at the national level. The normative legal acts of the Republic of Kazakhstan contributing to the development of quality assurance at the institutional level are analyzed. The structure of state management of the quality assurance system of higher education is given. The authors show the implementation of the process of external and internal quality assurance in the country. At the same time, the internal quality assurance system is based on the principles of quality assurance and on the policy and standards of internal quality assurance, which are developed by the higher education institution independently, but on the basis of ESG. The design of the national quality assurance model is presented in a three-dimensional image. The basis of the National Model of Quality assurance of Higher Education in Kazakhstan (NMQAHE) is
the system of internal quality assurance. The indicator of achievement of academic quality by the internal quality assurance system is the academic reputation of a higher educational institution. The answer to the question is given due to what the successful functioning of the national quality assurance model is achieved.
