Every year, up to 70 percent of young people of conscription age in Kyrgyzstan are found unfit for military service.
A draft concept for the development of the pre-conscription training system for youth until 2030, submitted for public discussion, says.
According to the authors of the document, this indicates a decline in the overall physical health of the nation.
The document also notes an increase in suicide cases in the Armed Forces and other military formations of state bodies where military service is legally provided.
Most schools are also not equipped with training shooting ranges required for practical air rifle exercises for students.
