The authors of the article propose to clarify the interpretation of the concept of change sustainability and, on the basis of this, seek to show a research path for analyzing the sustainability of the LS approach in educational organizations. To study the sustainability of changes in implementing LS in schools in Kazakhstan, the authors of the article rely on theoretical framework for the sustainability of changes in the organizational level. The empirical basis of the article was statistics on 49 schools in the Pavlodar region of the Republic of Kazakhstan, 22 schools with the Kazakh language of learning, 26 mixed schools (Russian and Kazakh languages of learning) and 1 school with the Russian language of learning. As a result of the study, the authors demonstrated the effectiveness of using the theoretical framework of the second order, which made it possible to analyze the conditions for practicing the LS approach in schools in the Pavlodar region of Kazakhstan at the organizational level. By analyzing the actual data on the number of teachers, coaches and groups participating in various professional training programs in educational institutions, four clusters of schools with different potential for practicing the LS approach were identified. Based on the analysis of contextual factors, the characteristics of each cluster are given, conclusions are drawn about the specifics of practicing the LS approach in different schools. The paper may contribute substantially to the discussion on the role of different conditions and sustainability factors of the LS approach at the organizational level.
