PRIORITY TASKS FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS ARE DETERMINED

Under the chairmanship of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, a video selection meeting was held on August 28 on the priority tasks of improving the quality of education and increasing the number of student places in schools, as well as supporting teachers.

On the basis of the noble idea that “New Uzbekistan begins with school,” large-scale work is being carried out in the field.

Hundreds of modern schools have been organized in recent years. Schools of a completely new type have been created – Presidential and creative schools and the network of specialized schools has expanded. New textbooks and teaching aids have been developed.

Special attention is paid to improving the working conditions of teachers and mentors and improving their qualifications. In particular, over the past period, teachers’ salaries have increased by an average of 2.5 times.

In order to reduce the burden on schools, 700,000 new student places were created. This is 15 times more than in previous years. Enrollment in higher education has quadrupled, which has expanded young people’s access to it.

The issue of employment of graduates was also raised. This year, 387,000 students graduated from schools. Of these, 138 thousand entered universities.

The head of our state stressed the need to involve other graduates in professional education and support their interests and entrepreneurial initiatives. The tasks for teaching young people modern professions that allow them to receive a large income at a low cost have been identified. The task was set to establish targeted work with students, to specifically determine the responsibility of khokims, school directors and parents in this process.
