The European Union gave Kyrgyzstan 6 million euros, or 592 million soms, to support changes to its school system.
The Ministry of Finance of Kyrgyzstan received the funds after the country met goals set by the Education Sector Reform Contract (ESRC) program. The EU provided this money because of results already achieved, not as a payment in advance. Kyrgyzstan plans to use the funds to improve STEM education, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, for students.
The government also intends to strengthen digital and media literacy, and teach environmental skills. These investments aim to build a stronger education system in the country. The ESRC program focuses on modernizing educational infrastructure in Kyrgyzstan, and this recent allocation confirms the country is meeting its commitments to the EU.
