among students, the governmentand higher education institutions of Kyrgyzstan are exploring different ways to improve quality. Becauseofficials realize the importance of higher education quality as a benchmark of economic success for thecountry, a higher emphasis is being placed on quality improvement initiatives. Savoji1 reported that students’ engagement with their courses, especially in terms of learning andmotivational strategies, has not been widely studied. A comparative study of motivational and learningstrategies among different private and public universities help to develop a better understanding of howdifferent cultures and experiences shape students’ learning2.
