We are pleased to inform you that Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic successfully completed the "National Testing" project in 2024, within which the last stage was to conduct post-testing of 11th grade students in 4 regions of the country.
The post-testing process within the framework of the project is necessary to analyze the effectiveness of the 3-month process of teaching schoolchildren and preparing students for the national testing (ORT), which was conducted by a team of professionals.
We believe and wish that students of schools where the Branch is actively involved in the development of the education sector will receive good scores and will be able to enroll in universities.
