Previously, the country's president, Sadyr Japarov, speaking at the People's Kurultai, announced that a salary increase for teachers is planned for 2026, including payments for mathematics and Kyrgyz language instructors. This raised questions among the public about whether salaries would also be increased for other education sector workers.
The minister emphasized that this time the increase will affect all teachers, kindergarten educators, methodologists, as well as staff from teacher training institutes and the Academy of Education.
“We are focused on raising salaries for all workers in the education system. In previous instances, the increase did not apply to class teachers, kindergarten directors, and social educators. This time we intend to include everyone,” she added.
