Kyrgyzstan to tighten education and digital literacy requirements for civil servants
AKIPRESS.COM – The Cabinet of Ministers of Kyrgyzstan has submitted a draft resolution for public discussion aimed at regulating civil and municipal service operations following amendments to the Law on Civil and Municipal Service.
Key proposed changes include:
-
Mandatory higher education for senior, principal and lead civil service positions (except where specialized education is required).
-
Higher education will also be required for junior civil service roles, while higher or secondary vocational education will be enough for municipal service positions.
-
Digital literacy will become a mandatory requirement for all positions.
The draft also clarifies procedures for internal investigations, including cases of full admission of guilt and the process of refusing to submit a written explanation, which can now be handled through electronic document systems.
