Begin Offline Edu Fair. Bishkek, 18 March

Bishkek, the capital and largest city of Kyrgyzstan, is home to over one million residents and is undergoing rapid growth and transformation. This dynamic city is marked by modern infrastructure, a thriving economy, and an increasing emphasis on education.

As Kyrgyzstan's socio-economic and financial hub, Bishkek's development is closely aligned with national government strategies, particularly the National Development Strategy of the Kyrgyz Republic for 2018-2040. This strategy outlines plans for extensive modernisation, including infrastructure upgrades, widespread digitalisation, and the construction of modern schools—all aimed at elevating the city's educational landscape.

Bishkek boasts 121 schools and 50 higher education institutions, reflecting the government's commitment to improving educational quality and positioning the city as a regional centre for higher education. The growing demand for international study-abroad programmes among Kyrgyz students, along with the city's expanding middle class and robust economy, creates a favourable environment for foreign universities looking to broaden their reach.

For international institutions seeking to recruit students from Kyrgyzstan, Bishkek offers a promising market rich with opportunities.

Participants’ Testimonials

“Begin Edu Fair in Bishkek was excellent! I had a great number of visitors at the booth, and I’m currently following up with them. I was pleasantly surprised to see not only students interested in the IBDP but also parents inquiring on behalf of younger students. That’s a very promising development! Everything went smoothly, and I look forward to the next fairs!”
