National Council changes status of two accreditation agencies in Kyrgyzstan

Kyrgyzstan's National Accreditation Council has made significant decisions regarding the status of accreditation agencies, revoking one and restoring another based on compliance and quality standards.

During a recent meeting chaired by Deputy Minister of Education Albert Makhmetkulov, the council reviewed the quality of educational organizations and the performance of accreditation agencies. The "Ilim-Sapat" public fund was denied recognition as an accreditation agency because it failed to meet the established requirements.

Conversely, the accreditation agency "El baasy" had its recognized status reinstated. This decision followed the agency's successful rectification of previously identified deficiencies. "El baasy" has been instructed to conduct its accreditation activities diligently and in strict adherence to legal mandates.

The council also identified shortcomings in the accreditation documents of initial vocational education organizations. Consequently, it proposed examining the accountability of the respective professional lyceum directors. The Ministry of Education reiterated its commitment to ensuring transparency, objectivity, and legality in all educational accreditation procedures, underscoring these as key priorities.
