According to Mr Japarov, regional higher education institutions need to work closely with local authorities to develop a development plan for the country's districts.

«Each regional higher education institution, using its teaching staff, should prepare a development plan for the regions of the republic, each aiyl okmotu. Science should help develop the economy and industry, analyse, forecast and be one step ahead. Universities should closely cooperate with the authorised representative offices of the President in the regions.

As you know, major infrastructure projects have begun in Kyrgyzstan, and about 100 enterprises are expected to open. We need to have a reserve of personnel, so the Ministry of Education and universities should take this into account and train the appropriate personnel. Special attention should be paid to training specialists in the IT sphere».
