History

The Kyrgyz State National Military Lyceum was established by decree of President Askar Akayev on 6 May 1994 on the basis of the Republican Special Boarding School (Commonly known as the "Suvorov School") named after the 60th anniversary of the Communist Party of Kirghizia. In 2005, the lyceum was renamed after Hero of the Soviet Union, Major General Dair Asanov.[2] On 16 January 2006, a government decree was signed, according to which the lyceum switched its subordination from the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth Policy to the Ministry of Defense. More than 500 of the high school's graduates ended up in high positions in the Ministry of Defense, and the Kyrgyz Frontier Force.

In August 2016, 69 cadets from the military lyceum fled from rehearsals of an Independence Day parade due to be held later that month on Ala-Too Square after a conflict arose over the fact that cadets had little time to rest. Kyrgyz human rights activists suggested that the cadets could have been subjected to violence, which caused the escape.[3][4]

International cooperation

Graduates of the lyceum will often end up being trained in professional military institutions in Russia, Turkey, Germany, India, Kazakhstan, the United States, and Azerbaijan.[5] In October 2018, the memorandum of understanding between lyceum and the Indian National Cadet Corps, providing cooperation in matters of vocational guidance.[6] The following year, cadets of the lyceum spent two weeks in New Delhi as guests at the Delhi Republic Day parade.[7]
