There are 14 presidential schools, 9 creative schools and 182 specialized schools in our country. Based on modern requirements, it is planned to improve the areas of these educational institutions.
At the specialized school named after Mirzo Ulugbek, it is proposed to introduce engineering programs as an experiment in cooperation with the Technical University of Munich. This program will be integrated with the New Uzbekistan University program and students who have accumulated enough “credits” at the school will be able to continue their studies in the second year of the university.
Plans were also announced for the introduction of teaching in English in 14 schools from the beginning of the next academic year and the construction of 8 new specialized schools in 2025-2026.
At the presentation, the issue of introducing a transparent and objective system for assessing student knowledge was discussed. According to the requirements of international testing, the complexity of all question options must be the same.
Therefore, it is proposed to assess students’ knowledge at final school exams on the basis of uniform test materials. Examination tasks will be translated into written and practical forms, a procedure for checking answers through a special platform will be introduced, and questions will be regularly updated.
Another important innovation is that during final school exams, students will be given the opportunity to choose a subject that corresponds to the entrance examinations to higher education institutions.
It is proposed to include the subject “Art” in school curricula, which will cover not only drawing, but also painting, handicrafts, cinematography, sculpture and design.
