Kyrgyzstan has requested 300 additional state-funded grant places for its students at Russian universities. The Minister of Science, Higher Education and Innovation Gulzat Isamatova said.
According to her, the Russian side has already allocated more than 700 grant places this year for study at leading universities in the Russian Federation.
