– For three years, our foundation has continued to invest in the development of the potential of young Kyrgyz citizens, – noted the founder of the 'Foundation of Progressive Initiatives' Askar Salymbekov. – The future is a fragile glass ball passed from one generation to another. Not to drop this ball, to preserve it for our descendants, to pass it into strong hands – this is our task. After all, "the fate of empires depends on the upbringing of youth." Developed young people with progressive views will become the creators of a developed state, so it is crucial that children receive a quality education, and every child should develop comprehensively.
In the 'IT school', students were taught website creation, computer programming, and were assisted in mastering the latest information technologies over the course of one month. Classes on computer repair were also conducted. The number of graduates from this course was 40 people.
Another 15 people completed a two-month training program in the 'English language school', where young Kyrgyz citizens were offered an intensive course in English grammar, opportunities for communication with native speakers, and much more.
– The fate of society and the country depends on youth. And it is our duty to raise a worthy generation. The future belongs to the youth, and it is they who determine what kind of country we will live in tomorrow. Youth is not just the future of the country; it is also its present. The knowledge that youth gain from our educational programs is important for filling the cup of knowledge, for developing creative abilities and self-realization, – said the General Director of the Foundation of Progressive Initiatives Amangeldy Jumadilov.
It should be noted that the 'Foundation of Progressive Initiatives' positions the programs it has developed as a socially significant project aimed at nurturing and creating a new generation of worthy youth. Therefore, all training in the Foundation's schools is conducted exclusively on a free basis.
