The decision aims to ensure students choose accredited colleges and receive proper oversight for their education and safety. The move follows reports of violence against Pakistani students in Kyrgyzstan in 2024, highlighting the need for stronger safeguards.
Beyond improving safety, the registration process is designed to uphold educational standards for students pursuing medical studies abroad.
