For each day of student absence, they are charged 1,000 soms — Dastan Bekeshev

The deputy demands to cancel this practice


At a joint meeting of the committees of the Jogorku Kenesh, parliamentarian Dastan Bekeshev pointed out that some universities and colleges charge students 1,000 soms for each day of their absence.
He noted that such fines are applied at the International Medical Institute and several colleges.

“The cost of contracts at universities has already increased. Now they have found a new way to earn money. If a student gets sick, they will be forced to pay. The wealthy can cover these expenses, but for the poor, it will become a real problem,” the deputy emphasized.
In response to his remarks, an employee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education explained that since 2021, contracts at universities have not increased due to a moratorium imposed by the president. However, this year the term of the decree has expired, and universities have been forced to raise the cost of contracts, as 90% of educational institutions in the country are self-sustaining and need additional income to pay salaries and improve infrastructure. He also promised to look into the issue of fines.
