Kyrgyzstan’s vocational lyceums will start the 2026-2027 academic year on Sept. 15, 2026, and continue classes until July 3, 2027.
The Education Ministry said the decision was intended to establish an optimal length for the academic year at the primary vocational education level and distribute the study workload efficiently.
The schedule follows amendments to the operating rules for primary vocational education institutions adopted by the Cabinet of Ministers. Under the new rules, the authorized state body responsible for education will determine when the academic year begins and ends.
The amendments also prohibit institutions from involving students in activities unrelated to the learning process during lessons.
