The U.S. Embassy is reporting that 33 participants in the ‘Teach for Kyrgyzstan — Zamanbap Mugalim’ project, which it is supporting, will begin teaching in rural schools in the Chui region in September.
A summer school called Jaratman, which translates to “creators”, will offer four weeks of training and development for future teachers and other educators.
The ‘Teach for Kyrgyzstan’ project will raise funds to place participants in ten pilot schools in the Chui region in the fall of 2024. Schools were selected by staff from the country’s Ministry of Education, as well as educational institutions and public organizations.
“The mission of the [project] is to help children reach their potential, and this institute is one step toward achieving that goal for the children of Chui [region] here in the Kyrgyz Republic,” American ambassador Lesslie Viguerie said of the project.
