Kyrgyzstan reviews measures to develop and promote national language

Ulan Mamatkanov, Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan, reviewed the implementation of the constitutional Law "On the State Language of the Kyrgyz Republic" and government resolutions on language policy. He met with leaders from the National Commission on the State Language and its affiliated institutions, including "Kyrgyz Test," the Center for Kyrgyz Encyclopedia and Terminology, the Educational Information and Translation Center, and the editorial office of the newspaper "Kыргыз Tili."

The meeting addressed key areas such as language training, assessment of Kyrgyz language proficiency, development of terminological databases, preparation of educational materials, and enhancing the quality of translation and editorial work. Mamatkanov also familiarized himself with the operations of the "Kyrgyz Test" center.

It was noted that the demand for state language proficiency testing has increased following the adoption of a relevant government resolution. Participants proposed expanding testing accessibility, strengthening the center's material and technical base, and improving its overall operations. Mamatkanov subsequently instructed the commission to intensify practical methods for teaching the Kyrgyz language, increase its use by state and municipal employees, broaden testing opportunities, and improve terminological, translation, and editorial work.

The Chairman of the National Commission on the State Language was tasked with strengthening coordination for the implementation of state language policy and taking measures to enhance the effectiveness of the commission's structural divisions.
