KYRGYZSTAN GETS 90,000 TEXTBOOKS FROM RUSSIA
The Russian Embassy in Bishkek announced on 12 January that the
Russian Federation has shipped 90,000 textbooks to Kyrgyzstan for use
in schools throughout the country that use Russian as a language of
instruction, Interfax reported. The textbooks were paid for from
Russian government funds. According to the embassy, more than 100,000
textbooks were given to Kyrgyzstan in 2003. The Kyrgyz Education
Ministry said that more then one-quarter of the secondary schools in
Kyrgyzstan use Russian as the language of instruction. At present, a
debate is raging in the Kyrgyz parliament over a draft language law
that some see as undermining the status of the Russian language in
Kyrgyzstan. BB
