In Bishkek, they propose to abandon the division of classes by language of instruction. » Gazeta.kg

At the meeting of the Bishkek City Council on February 9, the head of the education department, Rakhmat Musaev, voiced a proposal not to separate classes by language of instruction and to teach some subjects in both languages. She noted that they are receiving more and more complaints from parents about the lack of teachers.

According to Musaev, there is a shortage of about 400 educators in the capital's schools, with the problem being particularly acute in Russian-speaking institutions. She added that these schools are already starting to open Kyrgyz classes.

“We proposed to the Ministry of Education to switch to a new model: not to separate classes into Russian and Kyrgyz, but to conduct instruction in both languages. Subjects will be taught in Russian and Kyrgyz, and ideally, we would also add English,” she reported.
