Equipping School No. 21 with Interactive Displays and Lockers in Bel-Aldy
A major phase in outfitting the Y. Alymbekov School No. 21 has successfully concluded. Thanks to joint efforts and an effective co-funding approach, the educational facility is moving toward a whole new level of development.
📊 Key Highlights and Facts:
- 6 interactive displays were installed during the previous academic year.
- 12 modern displays and 60 metal lockers (with 480 individual compartments) were delivered this academic year.
- The school is now fully equipped with modern technology and a solid material base to conduct interactive lessons, open classes, and standardized test preparation (ORT).
The defining feature of this project is the initiative of the residents themselves. The local community generated the idea for school development, while Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic stepped in as a supportive partner. By combining the resources of residents, local authorities, and Toktogul development funds, we implemented a co-funding approach. This empowers the community to drive positive local change, make meaningful contributions, and build greater self-reliance.
The new interactive displays make lessons engaging and dynamic, while the metal lockers save children from carrying heavy textbooks from home, protecting their posture and overall health.
We extend our sincere gratitude to all partners, funds, and local community members for their dedication and investment in the younger generation! Together, we are creating a strong foundation for high-quality education and a bright future for our children. 💚

Instagram video interview with the school management
Last week, the director of Good Neighbors Kyrgyz Republic awarded scholarships to the best students in Talas region. This scholarship programme is initiated by a private sponsor from South Korea. Once a year, the Talas city administration draws up a list of the students who have performed best in their studies at the end of the academic year. Every year we provide scholarships and certificates, as well as a set of stationery, to talented and clever children from underprivileged families. This year, 30 schoolchildren were the recipients of the scholarships. We hope that the children will make better use of the awards and contribute to the development of education in the Kyrgyz Republic in the future.
Last week, schoolchildren from Kamyshanovka village and from Africa, Asia, and Korea met online as part of the Global Youth Network. Children talked briefly about their country, culture, and landmarks. Two more meetings are planned in this format to discuss the main topics - the climate crisis and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We want to clarify, that Good Neighbors is launching a new educational program called “Good Neighbors Global Citizenship Education” (an international youth exchange program), the Global Youth Network. This project enables young people from around the world to become autonomous individuals who can develop a conceptual understanding of coexistence and empathy in a global world by expressing their opinions on global issues such as climate change and by practicing Good Action through international exchange activities.
Good Neighbors Branch in the Kyrgyz Republic has completed equipping of computer classrooms in two public schools, Kamyshanovka village, Sokuluk district and School #34 in Japalak district, Osh city.
Computer science classrooms are equipped with all the necessary equipment and materials for training. Training sessions were held for computer science teachers. There is also a special area for video recording, and special equipment has been allocated for printing training materials. In addition, groups of teachers have been formed to collaborate and create collaborative learning materials. We hope that students from these schools will become proficient computer users.
