In Bishkek, during a meeting of the Intergovernmental Russian-Kyrgyz Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technical, and Humanitarian Cooperation, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexey Overchuk and Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers and Head of the Presidential Administration of the Kyrgyz Republic Adylbek Kasymaliev, a ceremony was held to hand over Russian language textbooks for grades 1, 2, 5, and 7 of schools that teach in Russian to the Ministry of Education of the Kyrgyz Republic. To date, 610,000 textbooks have been delivered to Kyrgyzstan, and by the end of this year, the total volume of delivery will reach 651,000 copies.

"As part of its friendly assistance, Russia is donating 651,000 copies of Russian language textbooks, both jointly produced and adapted for Kyrgyzstan, for secondary schools in the republic. Today, we are delighted to present a certificate for these materials to our Kyrgyz friends. Over 90% of the textbooks have already been delivered to the republic and will soon be distributed to schools. We are also sending our teachers to work in Kyrgyz schools," noted Alexey Overchuk.

A special program for the Kyrgyz Republic is being implemented by the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation with the support of the Ministry of Education of the Kyrgyz Republic.

In early 2025, a joint working group was established and the composition of the Russian-Kyrgyz teams of authors, comprising practicing teachers, researchers, and methodologists, was approved. The authors developed and adapted educational materials for grades 1, 2, 5, and 7 in educational institutions with both Russian and Kyrgyz as the language of instruction.

The program for the development, adaptation, and delivery of Russian language and literature textbooks will continue in 2026.
