<p>This study explores the role of international educational services in promoting sustainable economic development, using Kyrgyzstan and the Czech Republic as case studies. The research methodology included a survey of 50 experts in Kyrgyzstan and 50 in the Czech Republic, comparative analysis and recommendations. The main results of the study showed that the Czech Republic is much more competitive in the international education market than Kyrgyzstan. Several important aspects, such as student infrastructure and scholarships, also showed an advantage for the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic exhibits higher sustainability in its education export model, characterized by institutional support, inclusive infrastructure, and alignment with global sustainability standards. Kyrgyzstan shows potential for growth by enhancing educational accessibility, reducing language barriers, and increasing investment in sustainable education strategies.</p>
