«5 years ago, our coverage of higher education was 9%, now we have reached 29%», – Shavkat Mirziyoyev

As we reported earlier, an award ceremony is being held at the Kuksaroy residence, and our President expressed his opinion about the education system and the IT sphere.

«5 years ago, our coverage of higher education was 9%, now we have reached 29%. If you ask me if I am happy with this, I will say no, I am not happy yet. I will be satisfied when we reach 50%. A state that has scientists and educated people will still be strong. I believe that. I do not say for nothing – education, education and education again. It is not for nothing that we are establishing the activities of the Ministry of Preschool Education.

In Navoi, you saw that an educated person freely finds his way. Many people laughed when we opened an IT park in Marhamat two years ago. Now guys and girls in the same park earn up to 3-4 thousand dollars a month.

I recently had an open conversation with entrepreneurs. Then you saw that one young man said that if you give him the opportunity, he will provide 100 thousand people with jobs in the IT field. In total, more than 15 thousand proposals were received from entrepreneurs, as far as possible, I studied myself. 70% speak honestly. Now we are working on their solution», – the head of state said before the official speech.
