Young People Studying Foreign Languages in Private Learning Centers Will Be Encouraged
Uzbekistan
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev stated at today’s meeting with young people that if young individuals with a C1 level in foreign languages take the initiative to open specialized learning centers in remote and rural areas, they will be provided with an interest-free subsidy of up to 120 million soums.
To encourage young people proficient in foreign languages to enter the labor market, their expenses for studying at private learning centers will be covered under a "2+6" scheme. In this system, the first two months of tuition will be paid by the students themselves, while the remaining six months will be covered by the state.
Additionally, the meeting set a goal to increase IT sector exports to $1 billion. It was emphasized that young people will be the main driving force behind this initiative. An additional 300,000 young people will be involved in the "One Million Coders" project.
On the "Coursera" platform, more than 3,000 courses will be available in Uzbek with AI assistance.
This year, the "Descendants of Muhammad Khwarizmi" project will also be launched in Karakalpakstan, covering an additional 1,000 young people.
Last year, 25,000 girls received free IT training. This year, the number of female programmers is planned to double. 1,000 talented girls will be trained for international competitions in IT camps.
Officials have been tasked with developing a long-term strategy for implementing a digital social ecosystem.
The meeting also highlighted that education is the most effective solution to reducing poverty. Therefore, necessary conditions will be created to ensure that at least one child from a low-income family receives higher education.
From now on, children from low-income families will receive interest-free educational loans, additional grants, and partial coverage of tuition fees.
Another major initiative is the launch of a new system for educating talented, knowledge-seeking young people abroad under the "Bright Talent" project.
Under this program, socially vulnerable yet talented young individuals will be selected, their abilities will be assessed, and they will be matched with suitable foreign universities. They will also undergo preparatory training courses before studying abroad.
