Abstract

Relevance. This study examines, from the viewpoint of educators specifically, how parental migration influences children's education in Kyrgyzstan. Interviews with instructors at Osh's Zh. Abdurasulov School were used for the study. According to the research, children whose parents migrate abroad encounter a number of difficulties, such as emotional and psychological distress, disruptions in their schooling, and trouble sustaining friendships with their peers. However, extracurricular activities were one way that some students showed resilience, and parental involvement was found to be important. The study suggests a number of tactics for improving educational support, including providing academic flexibility, support groups, counseling services, and awareness raising within the school community. The study emphasizes how crucial it is to support left-behind children's emotional and academic development through a comprehensive approach.
