Kyrgyzstan completes large school building in Osh to house 1,200 students

Construction workers and government officials completed the Salizhan Zhigitov school in Osh, Kyrgyzstan, to provide modern facilities for local students.

The school covers 13,650 square meters and features a cafeteria for 400 people, sports courts, and an assembly hall with 470 seats. The project includes specialized rooms for cooking, architecture, and design for girls, along with computer technology and interactive panels. The government funded the project through the republican budget and the Stabilization Fund.

Director Kyzdarkan Karabaeva stated that the school currently serves 1,218 enrolled students. While the new building prepares for its opening on November 6, 2026, primary students are currently using school No. 29 and older students are learning online. The new classrooms will eventually accommodate 30 to 35 students each with a focus on STEM education.
