| Concepts |
Intergovernmental and interdepartmental agreements on cooperation in the field of education are international agreements concluded between the Kyrgyz Republic and one or more states and defining the order of relations between the Parties in the field of education. The parties are States parties to an international treaty. Quotas are budget places allocated for the education of citizens of one Party in universities of the other Party, and at the expense of the other Party. The receiving party is a foreign state that allocates quotas in its higher education institutions for the education of citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic. The sending party is the Kyrgyz Republic. Target indicators are the number of quotas allocated to citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic in universities of foreign countries within the framework of intergovernmental and international agreements. The actual figures are the number of citizens of the Kyrgyz Republic actually enrolled in universities in foreign countries within the framework of intergovernmental and international agreements.
|
| Rationale and interpretation |
When drafting international agreements on cooperation in the field of education, the Parties set the quota size based on the budget capabilities of each of the Parties. At the same time, the allocation of quotas for higher education in the Parties is most often carried out on a parity basis.
|
| Method of computation |
The planned indicators are calculated by the Receiving Party based on the capabilities of the Receiving Party’s budget.
|
| Comments and limitations |
One of the limitations of planned and actual indicators is their annual changes and updates.
|
| Quality assurance |
The data can be validated through the Embassies of the Kyrgyz Republic located on the territory of the Receiving Parties, as well as through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic.
|
| Data availability and gaps |
The planned indicators are fixed in international agreements on cooperation in the field of education and posted on the website of the Toktom information and legal system and on the website of the Ministry of Justice of the Kyrgyz Republic (toktom.kg minjust.gov.kg). The actual figures are published on the website of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Kyrgyz Republic. The data has been available since 2017.
|
| Disaggregation |
The data is broken down by gender of students, by country of study, and by level of study (bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, doctoral degree, language internship, etc.)
|
| Comparability with international data/standards |
The Kyrgyz Republic receives data from the Receiving Parties.
