At a video-selector meeting chaired by the President, it was announced that funds for preschool and school education have been increased sevenfold over the past seven years, and 60 trillion soums are being allocated for this purpose this year.

About 1.5 million new places have been created in schools and about 1 million kindergartens. Coverage by kindergartens has tripled and reached 78 percent.

More than 10 bonuses have been introduced for teachers based on criteria such as qualifications, language proficiency, a new assessment system, and subject Olympiads. 60 thousand teachers, effectively using this opportunity, are currently receiving salaries of 8-12 million soums.

The salaries of kindergarten teachers increased by 65%, becoming equal to the salaries of school teachers. From the new academic year, the salaries of school principals, their deputies, and kindergarten directors will exceed 7-10 million soums.
