Abstract
The article contains a study of the formation of a model of state policy in the field of higher education in Kyrgyzstan in the period from 1991 to 2021. The author attempts to analyze the educational policy of Kyrgyzstan based on models identified by B.Clark: statepaternalistic, liberal, corporate models. The comparison of models is based on the following criteria: educational policy goals, level of government intervention, financing of education, accessibility of education. Some aspects of the influence of foreign actors of educational policy on the formation of a national approach to higher education are analyzed. Two periods of development of the state educational policy in Kyrgyzstan are defined and their features are considered. The key political, economic, social and technological factors that influenced the choice of the educational policy model in Kyrgyzstan are identified. It is argued that by now a mixed model of higher education policy has been formed in the country (with signs of state-paternalistic and liberal models), which has retained the features of Soviet higher education with elements of national and European approaches.
