The education sector helps attract foreigners for educational purposes, which contributes to the development of medical tourism. Every year the attractiveness of educational services increases and the number of foreign tourists receiving medical education increases. The growth of medical tourism is driving job creation in healthcare, hospitality, tourism and other related industries. Medical tourists spend significant amounts of money on treatment, accommodation, transportation and related services, which contributes to the influx of foreign exchange into the country. The article analyzes the dynamics of the number of educational organizations in the Kyrgyz Republic by type and form of ownership, the number of university students from the CIS countries, from countries outside the CIS, the number of students studying in educational institutions of secondary vocational education of the Kyrgyz Republic from the CIS countries and outside the CIS for 2018-2022. A typology of educational services for export has been proposed, including bachelor's and master's programs, PhD programs, student mobility, language courses, internships, scientific practical conferences, educational projects, joint scientific research. To develop educational services in medical universities, innovative educational technologies, information and communication technologies, technologies for the development of "critical thinking", game teaching methods and much more are offered. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2024.
