She noted that President Sadyr Japarov announced plans to increase teachers' salaries by 100% by 2026 at the kurultai. Egenberdieva believes that a similar approach should be applied to students to enhance their motivation.
In Kyrgyzstan, students studying on a budget basis can receive scholarships that depend on their academic performance (academic scholarships) and financial needs (social scholarships). There are also Presidential scholarships for high achievers and winners of various Olympiads and competitions, as well as named scholarships for achievements in science, culture, sports, and public life. The main recipients of these scholarships are high achievers, orphans, children with disabilities, and gifted youth.
