Bishkek, Sept. 22, 2025. /Kabar/. On September 22, the Social Policy Committee of the Zhogorku Kenesh of the Kyrgyz Republic reviewed and approved the draft resolution of the Zhogorku Kenesh of the Kyrgyz Republic "On Establishing Adult Education Day."

One of the initiators, deputy Aisuluu Mamashova, noted that this draft resolution proposes to establish April 17 as Adult Education Day. "Continuous learning is not a new trend, but the norm of the future." "People, regardless of age, should have the opportunity to learn," said Aisuluu Mamashova, adding that the Cabinet of Ministers, within the framework of this resolution, should conduct relevant events, seminars, and training courses for citizens.
