The Osh Pedagogical College was opened on July 30, 1966, by the decision of the Council of Ministers of the Kyrgyz SSR.
In the first academic year, 150 students were admitted to the primary school teacher training department. At that time, the college had 7 teachers. The building of the primary school "Ulugbek" was allocated for the educational building. The first director was S. Omurkulova, and the deputy director was A. A. Alabaev. Due to insufficient material resources, the college operated in 2 shifts. In 1975, a new department for training preschool educators and music teachers was organized, and a dormitory for 600 places was opened, while in 1982, a three-story educational building was constructed. The material base was strengthened, and a library with a collection of 79,000 copies of educational and political literature was established, along with a cafeteria for 292 places. Such good results were achieved thanks to its director Y. Toktosunov (1972—1992). From the very first day, teachers Bakhramkodzhaev, Isakova, Kuchubaeva, Kasymalieva, Asanov, Lebedinenko, Samieva, Sukovitina, Moiseeva, and others worked at the college. In 1992, K. Abdylakimov became the director of the college, and in 1994, the college was renamed to a pedagogical college with the right to train teachers with higher education. In 1995, L. Myrzabekov became the director of the college. Since 1996, the pedagogical college has been transformed into a higher pedagogical college.
