The current Department of Computer Science and Informatization of Education was established in 1984 and was called the Department of Computational Mathematics and Differential Equations. The department was headed by the former rector of KazPI named after Abai, corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of KazSSR, Professor K.A. Kasymov. Under his leadership, a team emerged, which included such outstanding scientists as Irkegulov Sh.T. (1915-1991), Zhanbyrbayev B.S. (1928-2007), Akhmetov M.Zh., Nakesbekov B.K., Goltser Ya.A., Medeuov E.U., etc. In 1987, the department was renamed the Department of Computer Science and Computer Engineering, and since 1993 it was renamed the Department of Computer Science and Applied Mathematics, and then the Department of Computer Science and Informatization of Education.

From 1985 to 2020, the head of the department was Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor E.Y. Bidaibekov, founder of the national scientific school in the field of informatics and informatization of education.
