In recent years higher education is developing very fast in Kyrgyzstan. We had only 12 universities before independence in 1991 and now it is 50 from which 31 belong to state and 19 are private.

 

Many international students study in Kyrgyz universities due to high level of education and relatively low prices, including almost 1000 from Pakistan.

 

Last year Kyrgyz-Pakistani International Institute of medical sciences was established in Kyrgyzstan and first Pakistani students will begin study there in current year.=DNA
