The document was passed by the Legislative Chamber in three readings in July. Its main goal is to organize educational activities and prevent the influence of "foreign views and ideas" on the citizens of Uzbekistan.

Amendments are being made to the "Law on Education," which will define the procedures for conducting educational activities. The law outlines individuals who are not permitted to conduct such activities, and administrative penalties will be introduced for violations.

An individual who is not authorized to engage in educational activities or violates other restrictions will be fined between 5 to 10 BCUs (3.4 to 6.8 million UZS). For officials, the fine will be between 10 to 15 BCUs (6.8 to 10.2 million UZS).

For repeated violations within a year after the first fine, the range of financial penalties for citizens increases to 10 to 15 BRV. Officials can be fined between 15 to 20 BCUs (10.2 to 13.6 million UZS).

During the review of the draft law in the lower house, it was noted that there has been a growing number of events held by "pseudo-lecturers and self-proclaimed trainers." Deputies stated that these events have included cases of promoting illegal activities and manipulating the consciousness of the audience.

Additionally, senators approved the draft law "On Providing Psychological Assistance to the Population." This law aims to regulate standards for psychologists, particularly for private psychological clinics, and to outline the rights and responsibilities of participants in the field.

The head of a psychological clinic must have a specialized higher education. Individuals who have graduated from non-psychological specialties and wish to practice psychology will need to undergo retraining.

The Ministry of Health will be responsible for developing standards for psychological assistance. Administrative liability will be introduced for individuals providing psychological assistance without proper qualifications.
