Traditional music from Kyrgyzstan is nomadic and rural, with Russian elements and is characterized by long, sustained pitches.
Like other Central Asian countries, pop music from Kyrgyzstan features elements of dance and electronic music but seems to feature some elements of pop R&B. In 2013, the Kyrgyzstan UN system collaborated with a variety of Kyrgyz pop artists to produce a song, An Ocean of Drops, to inspire youth in Kyrgyzstan to be more involved in the countries development.
Currently in Kyrgyzstan the net enrollment in primary school is 87% and 43% for tertiary education. There is 1 teacher for every 24 pupils (UNICEF). According to Worldbank, those in rural areas are predominantly more impoverished.
