Thirty-three fellows are preparing to transform rural schools in the Chuy region this September, empowered by Teach for Kyrgyzstan’s Summer Institute. This initiative, supported by a grant from the U.S. Embassy in the Kyrgyz Republic, aims to enhance the region's educational landscape through its dedicated Fellows, known as ‘jaratmans’—Kyrgyz for ‘creators.’
The four-week Summer Institute, administered by Teach for KG, provided intensive training in emotional intelligence, behavior management, lesson planning, and pupil assessment. Fellows engaged with experts, participated in self-directed learning, and applied their skills in real classroom settings.
Following the Institute, efforts will be directed towards fundraising for the placement of these Fellows in ten pilot schools across the Chuy region, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education in the Kyrgyz Republic.
The pilot schools were selected through a competitive process involving the Ministry of Education and Science, Teach for KG, educational institutions, and civil society organizations.
“The organizing mission of the Teach For All network is to help children fulfill their potential, and this Institute is one step toward fulfilling that goal for children in the Chuy Region here in the Kyrgyz Republic,” Ambassador Lesslie Viguerie highlighted the mission of the Teach For All network during the Institute’s opening ceremony.
Teach for Kyrgyzstan, part of the Teach For All network, is dedicated to modernizing the country's education system with a forward-thinking model. This approach, developed with input from government bodies, schools, educators, civil society, and international experts, aims to integrate media literacy, critical thinking, creativity, community engagement, and accountable governance into the curriculum of Chuy region schools.
