  • Kyrgyzstan’s authorized education body will now set the start and end dates of the academic year for vocational lyceums.
  • A new rule bars institutions from diverting students during classes to work unrelated to their studies.
  • The government decision takes effect seven days after its adoption, with implementation funded from existing education budget allocations and other lawful sources.

Kyrgyzstan’s Cabinet of Ministers has changed the rules governing initial vocational education institutions. Under the new decision, the authorized state body responsible for education will separately determine when the academic year begins and ends at vocational lyceums.

The amendments also prohibit institutions from diverting students during lessons to work unrelated to the educational process.

The changes were added to the standard charter for initial vocational education organizations, which the Cabinet approved in a May 8, 2024, resolution. The Ministry of Education must align its decisions with the new rules and take the measures needed to implement them.

The decision will take effect seven days after its adoption. Related expenses will be covered within the funds allocated to the Ministry of Education in the republican budget, along with other sources permitted by law.
