History and present of Kyzyl-Kiya Humanitarian-Pedagogical Institute named after M.M.Tairov

Kyzyl-Kiya Humanitarian-Pedagogical Institute under Batken State University was established on October 30, 1997 as a training and consulting center of Osh State University. On May 28, 1998, by the order of the rector of Osh State University, academician Bektemir Murzubraimov №46, it was transformed into the Kyzyl-Kiya branch of Osh State University. On December 8, 2000, the Kyzyl-Kiya branch of Osh State University was transformed into the Kyzyl-Kiya Humanitarian and Pedagogical Institute of Batken State University. For almost a quarter of a century since its inception, the Institute has become a center of education and research.

When the school was newly established, there were many difficulties, including inadequate facilities, inadequate teaching staff, and a lack of faculty and literature. However, thanks to the hard work of the then head of the university, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor MM Tairov, as well as the community, these problems were solved, and today KНPI is 24 years behind.

Currently, about 4,000 students study at the university.

The number of students has been growing over the past year. This indicates the need of the local population for highly educated personnel. During 2005-2006, the number of students reached its peak, with more than 6,000 full-time and part-time students.

On December 14, 2021, President of the Kyrgyz Republic Sadyr Japarov awarded the Presidential Scholarship “Hope” to the best 80 students of higher educational institutions of the country. Murzabek kyzy Chachykei, a 4th year student of computer science at our university, is one of the three scholarship recipients of Batken State University. Since coming to the institute, Chachykei has been able to show his versatility. There are many such students at KНPI who have excelled in their studies, research and social activities.

Graduates play an important role in staffing educational institutions in Batken oblast.

The opening of the institute was of great importance for the south-western region of the country. People living in the south-western region of Kyrgyzstan, far from the capital, are doing a great job in training modern specialists in the field of education, social sciences and humanities, providing secondary schools, state and municipal enterprises with qualified specialists. The staff trained at the university is not only highly educated in the specialty, but also able to withstand the competition in society, showing all-round competence in accordance with modern requirements.
