President Shavkat Mirziyoyev recently reviewed plans aimed at developing and improving the quality of school education in Uzbekistan. The country currently has 14 presidential schools, 9 creative schools, and 182 specialized schools, with efforts underway to enhance their educational programs. One initiative includes introducing engineering programs in collaboration with the Munich Technical University at the Mirzo Ulugbek specialized school. This program will be integrated with the curriculum of the "New Uzbekistan" University, allowing students to continue their education at the university.
Plans were also announced to introduce English language teaching in 14 schools starting from the next academic year and to construct 8 new specialized schools by 2025-2026. Creative schools will organize master classes with renowned writers and public figures, as well as publish students' creative works through the Writers' Union.
Furthermore, a Center for Preparing Students for Subject Olympiads will be established in Uzbekistan, engaging leading scientists and foreign specialists to prepare each student according to an individual development program. Additionally, a system to reward the leader of the national team based on their performance in international Olympiads will be implemented. The presentation also addressed the implementation of a transparent and objective student assessment system to ensure consistency across schools.
The President emphasized the importance of students mastering at least one profession before entering adult life. Plans include evaluating students based on uniform assessment materials during final exams, with tasks in written and practical forms to be regularly updated. Students will have the opportunity to choose a subject for their final exams that aligns with university entrance exams. President Mirziyoyev's commitment to equipping students with practical skills underscores the government's dedication to preparing the youth for successful futures.
