At present, there are 117 municipal educational institutions operating in Bishkek, which can accommodate about 102.7 thousand students.
To determine the need for places in municipal schools by 2050, the following factors were taken into account:
- The regulatory standard, according to which there should be 153 places in educational institutions for every 1,000 people (with 100% of children from grades 1 to 9 and 75% from grades 10 to 12 considered);
- The accessibility of schools — 750 meters (500 meters for primary grades);
- Single-shift operation of educational institutions.
Table of calculations for the need in municipal schools:
District | Current Data | Need by 2050 thousand places | |
| number of facilities | thousand places | ||
| Lenin District | 36 | 30.4 | 95.2 |
| October District | 21 | 23.0 | 91.1 |
| First May District | 27 | 21.0 | 59.1 |
| Sverdlov District | 33 | 28.3 | 48.3 |
| Total for Bishkek | 117 | 102.7 | 293.8 |
The general plan proposes the creation of the following educational institutions:
- 59 facilities providing over 64.8 thousand places in Lenin District;
- 62 facilities with a total capacity of over 68.1 thousand places in October District;
- 35 facilities with more than 38.2 thousand places in First May District;
- 18 facilities offering over 20.0 thousand places in Sverdlov District.
Thus, by 2050, the number of municipal educational institutions in Bishkek will reach 291, offering more than 293.8 thousand places.
In addition, there are also 27 organizations for additional education (113 facilities) operating at both the republican and municipal levels, with a total capacity of 17.1 thousand places.
The calculation of the need for places in these organizations by 2050 is based on:
- a regulatory indicator for providing places — 15.3 places per 1,000 people (which corresponds to 10% of the total number of schoolchildren);
- two- and three-shift operation of additional education organizations.
Table of calculations for the need in municipal organizations for additional education:
District | Current Data | Need by 2050 thousand places | |
| number of facilities | thousand places | ||
| Lenin District | 35 | 4.0 | 9.5 |
| October District | 34 | 4.8 | 9.1 |
| First May District | 25 | 5.4 | 5.9 |
| Sverdlov District | 19 | 2.9 | 4.8 |
| Total for Bishkek | 113 | 17.1 | 29.4 |
According to the plan, in the coming years it is expected to place:
- 4 facilities in Lenin District with a total capacity of over 5.5 thousand places;
- 3 facilities in October District with a total capacity of over 4.4 thousand places;
- 2 facilities in Sverdlov District with a total capacity of over 1.9 thousand places.
Thus, by 2050, there will be about 123 organizations for additional education in Bishkek with a total projected capacity of over 29.4 thousand places.
