The city of Talas in Kyrgyzstan is preparing to open a new branch of the presidential lyceum "Akylman." Minister of Education Dogdurgul Kendirbaeva recently visited Talas to inspect the preparatory work for the new educational facility.

The ministry's press service indicated that the selection of teaching staff will be conducted through a competitive process, with a strong emphasis placed on the quality of education to be provided. During her working visit, Minister Kendirbaeva reviewed the construction progress and the condition of the classrooms.

This new branch in Talas is set to open its doors at the beginning of the next academic year, welcoming 96 students who have been accepted into the 7th and 8th grades. The lyceum has a planned total capacity of 920 students and will include a dormitory with 168 beds.
