On February 6, at a meeting of the permanent commission of the Bishkek City Council on economic issues, budget, finance, and investments, Rakhmat Musaev, head of the Department of Education of the city administration, announced the budget plans of the department for 2026.

According to Musaev, in 2026, the department's budget will amount to 851 million 566.9 thousand soms, which significantly exceeds the budget of the previous year, which was 437 million 588.2 thousand soms. This means that an increase in the budget of 413 million 978.7 thousand soms is expected.

The main reason for such growth is the expansion of the title list of facilities. Given that the annual wear and tear of schools and kindergartens requires significant expenses for repairs, this year 510 million soms have been allocated for the title list, which is 310 million soms more than last year when the budget was 200 million soms.

Salaries for junior service and technical staff will also increase by 10 million 270 thousand soms, and payments to young teachers will rise by 5.5 million soms.

In 2026, the construction of 32 new schools and the opening of kindergartens are planned, for which 46 million 921 thousand soms will be allocated for their equipment. Funding for the purchase of computers, refrigerators, and other necessary equipment for educational institutions has also been increased.

In addition, the coverage of city events will expand. If previously the New Year celebrations were planned for 1,000 students, this year their number will increase to 3,000 children. There are also plans to increase the number of children sent for summer vacations — from 350 to 700 children.
