The relevance of the issues of researching the demand for Chinese and Kyrgyz higher pedagogical educational institutions, the problems of reforming and adapting educational programmes to new socio-cultural conditions was noted. The reasons and main stages of development of the system of higher pedagogical education in Kyrgyz Republic and the People’s Republic of China were analysed, the active involvement of the state leadership in reforming the system of higher education, building new university campuses, creating the necessary conditions for training specialists was noted.

Purpose. The purpose of this article was to investigate the causes, preconditions, conditions, and main stages of the development of the system of training of pedagogical specialists in the Kyrgyz Republic and China, as well as to analyse the current state and features of educational programmes of Chinese and Kyrgyz pedagogical universities.

Methodology. Critical-analytical method, comparative method, analysis of open data sources were used as research methods.

Results. The study showed that the state reforms towards liberalisation and openness of economic and social life, which have been carried out in China since 1978 and in Kyrgyz Republic after independence in 1990, have had a positive impact on the development of the education system in the country. At the same time, the popularity of the teaching profession under liberalisation has declined markedly, which has had a negative impact on the quality of training of entrants and graduates of teacher training institutions.

Conclusions. The practical significance of the study is to systematise the specific features of theoretical training and practical experience of higher teacher education because of reforms of the educational system in such dynamically developing countries as Kyrgyz Republic and China.
