How Agricultural Engineers Will Be Trained Starting May 1
Uzbekistan
Education in Uzbekistan's agricultural and water management sectors is shifting toward a hands-on approach. Following a new Presidential Decree, starting May 1, 2026, the "TIIAME" National Research University will implement revolutionary changes: students will spend more time at actual production sites than in lecture halls, while professors will take on roles as strategic advisors in the regions.
The reform aims to bridge the gap between science and industry. The main focus is on two educational formats: dual education featuring a six-month off-campus internship and the "4+2" system, which integrates theory and practice throughout the academic year.
Key Highlights of the Reform:
Regional Connection: Leading university scientists and professors will be assigned to regions as scientific advisors to provincial governors (khokims) on water and agricultural issues.
Field-Based Learning: Off-site classes will be moved from classrooms directly to industry organizations and regional "Schools of Water Specialists."
Innovation Hub: A Prospective Projects Office (Project Office) will be established at the university to develop and implement cutting-edge solutions.
These measures are designed to address the shortage of qualified personnel and introduce modern technologies into the management of the country's natural resources.
