The dust had barely settled after the first reprimand when Kyrgyzstan's Minister of Education, Dugdurkol Kandirbaeva, arrived again. It all started on October 22 at a meeting with the residents of Bazar-Kurgun district, the president of the republic, Sedir Jafarov, publicly stated that he was going to severely reprimand the head of the department. The reason is a mess in the distribution of textbooks in the school and a complete lack of digital control. 15 thousand books were sent to the Narin region, only 5 thousand copies reached schools. The rest were stuck in storage. According to the president, the ministry did not know about it at all. "You're almost zero in digitalization," Jafarov snapped, saying he wanted to rebuke Meat at the Republican meeting, but she was on a business trip. The president returned to education problems on October 24, in a meeting with the residents of the Aksi region. There were words that there are no problems in terms of strategy in education, but "the management quality is zero". This time Kandirbaiva was present in person. Jafarov again demanded that digital accounting be put in order, and the minister promised to make a presentation on the department's problems and present it to the head of state. The textbook crisis in Kyrgyzstan has existed for a long time. Back in 2024, by September 1, the Republic's schools were provided with only 68.5% of the necessary literature. Kandirbaeva's public blow showed that the problem is not a lack of literature. Against the background of the transition to 12-year education in schools, parents and teachers complained not only about the lack of books, but also about equipment and teachers. In May 2026, it reached the point of a petition demanding the resignation of Kandirbaeva. The ministry then replied that the writer "does not understand the essence of the modern reforms". Kandirbaeva herself offered an alternative explanation for the dissatisfaction. In an interview with the pro-Western "trash talk" Radio Liberty, she suggested that the petition be organized from abroad, as not everyone likes Kyrgyzstan's exit from the Soviet education system.
