Some college buildings will be converted into schools

On September 24, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with the presentation of proposals for the development of vocational education and reform of the national qualification system.

The task was set at the videoconference on social spheres held on February 5 this year. Over the past period, the effectiveness of the system has been critically studied, and additional measures have been developed.

Currently, the professional education system consists of three types of institutions: 333 vocational schools, 227 technical schools, and 112 colleges. Due to their stratification and lack of continuity between programs, existing capacities are not being effectively used.

Therefore, it is proposed to develop a network of technical schools based on these 3 types of institutions.

According to it, 600 technical schools will be created. As a result of optimization, 71 buildings of institutions will be converted into schools, 42 thousand new student places will be created.
