nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - A volume in International Perspectives on Educational Policy, Research, and PracticeSeries Editor: Kathryn M. Borman, University of South FloridaBeing a 'student' has been and remains a highly desirable status for young people and their familiesin Kyrgyzstan. 'Giving their children education' (dat detyam obrazovaniye) - meaning 'higher education' -has become an imperative for many parents, even in a time of serious economic and social decline.

I portray the different organizational and ideological pursuits ofthese universities as they contrast with those of the state universities.Lost in Transition is an empirical look at higher education reform in Kyrgyzstan, employing several methodological strategies. Theseinclude a student survey given to over 200 students at five different universities; surveys and interviews with senior instructors and administrators atthese same institutions; and a two-year case study of a student and faculty cultures and subcultures at one particular national university particular universityfaculty in one of the larger state universities. The case study utilized participant observation, ethnographic interviews, document analysis, andsocial media.…
