Bishkek City Hall has refuted the information voiced by a deputy of the Jogorku Kenesh of the Kyrgyz Republic, which may mislead the public:
In his inquiry, Ulukbek Karybek uulu was interested in the Action Plan for 2024-2025 for the Sverdlovsk district, requesting information on project documentation, capital construction, social and engineering infrastructure, funding sources, and approved projects for 2026.
The City Hall provided all the necessary information in response to his inquiry.
On January 26, 2026, at a parliamentary meeting, Karybek uulu stated:
“In the new building 'Ak-Zhar', 15,000 people live. Children from neighboring residential areas are forced to travel to the city for their education. The official response from the City Hall indicates that a school for 600 students has been built in the residential area 'Ak-Bata', and children attend that school. If this is true, then the City Hall is deceiving not only the population but also the leadership of the country and the deputies.”
It should be emphasized that the deputy did not specify which educational institutions the children from Ak-Zhar attend and how many students study at the school in Ak-Bata.
In Ak-Bata, there is a school with a capacity of 620 places, which has 48 classes, and currently, 1,735 students are enrolled there. Of these, 260 study in the old school building. The educational process is organized in two shifts: the first from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, the second from 1:30 PM to 6:30 PM.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that the residential area Ak-Zhar emerged as a result of land seizures, and currently, there are no available plots for the construction of new schools in this territory. The municipality is actively seeking solutions to this problem.
This issue was also discussed on January 23, 2026, at a meeting of Bishkek Mayor Aibek Junushaliev with the residents of Ak-Bata, where residents proposed the possibility of building a school on the territory adjacent to the Alamudun district. However, according to current legislation, the municipality cannot construct facilities outside the city of Bishkek.
