Famous Croatian midfielder Luka Modric, after playing for many years at Madrid's 'Real' club, has now transferred to the Italian team 'Milan'. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

In his opinion, the team will certainly fight for high positions, but the outcome in this regard is uncertain. There are doubts about Karpin's sufficient experience, as he may have forgotten how to play in responsible matches for serious goals. Last season, the capital team was managed by Czech specialist Martsel Lichka, but he was dismissed with four rounds remaining in the season. The club appointed Rolan Gusev as interim coach, but the team finished the season in fifth place.

According to him, this will, in turn, enhance the championship's status, but he emphasized that it is important how Jerson plays and presents himself in the new team. Because the Russian championship has its own peculiarities, and not every player may adapt to it. Jerson is 28 years old and played for Flamengo in Brazil before joining Zenit. He has also played for Marseille, Fluminense, Roma, and Fiorentina. In the Brazil national team, he has appeared in 14 matches and scored one goal.

Significant legal changes have been introduced to protect women's rights in Kazakhstan. This was reported by Zamin.uz. A new law against harassment and forced marriage has been approved by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. This law has been developed with the aim of reforming the country's criminal enforcement system and includes changes in four main areas. The law is expected to be officially announced and implemented soon. For the first time, the concept of "stalking" has been introduced in this document. This refers to actions such as persistently disturbing, monitoring, or establishing uncomfortable relationships with a person without their consent. Even if such actions are not related to violence, they can cause significant psychological harm to the individual. Now, a fine or administrative detention of up to 90 days has been established for such actions. Additionally, penalties for cases of abducting brides and forcing them into marriage have been intensified. This crime has been included as a new article in the Criminal Code. Depending on the severity of the crime, penalties may include financial fines, corrective labor, restriction of freedom, or imprisonment for up to 10 years. Under previous legislation, such cases were considered "kidnapping" and could result in imprisonment for up to 15 years. However, if the perpetrator voluntarily released the woman, there was a possibility of exemption from liability. This possibility has been removed with the new law. President Tokayev personally addressed this issue, firmly opposing the justification of bride abduction by national traditions at the National Assembly. He stated that the dignity and rights of individuals must be the highest value in our society. This law has become an important step in protecting women in Kazakhstan and safeguarding them from harassment and coercion. Civil society and human rights organizations are positively evaluating these changes. Now every woman can feel protected by the law.

Apple presented its new flagship smartphones, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max models, in September. This was reported by Zamin.uz. These devices have been significantly updated not only in terms of internal capabilities but also in appearance. One of the biggest changes is that the rear camera module now spans the entire width of the body.

The general secondary education system in Uzbekistan is undergoing fundamental changes. This was reported by Upl.uz. The country has officially begun implementing a 12-year education model. This was announced by the press service of the Ministry of Preschool and School Education. In the near future, a normative legal document confirming these innovations is expected to be signed. This decision was made as part of a comprehensive program to reform the education sector. The program was presented to the president on September 8 and envisions a systematic renewal of all stages from preschool to higher education. The transition to 12-year education is being carried out to align with international experience. The results of the PISA study conducted in 2022 showed that in 85% of countries considered leaders in education, the number of school years is exactly 12. The introduction of the new model will allow adapting curricula to international standards and also enable students to be well-prepared for subsequent stages of education and vocational training. The updated system structure will be as follows: the first year is designated as a preparatory stage for 6-year-old children, which is considered part of primary education. Primary education will last a total of 5 years, including 1 year of preparation and 4 years of primary school. The next stage is basic general secondary education, covering grades 5 to 9 and lasting 5 years. The final 2 years constitute complete general secondary education, which will be conducted in schools, academic lyceums, specialized military schools, or technical colleges. To ensure a smooth transition process and create the necessary infrastructure, about 3,600 new schools will be built and more than a thousand state kindergartens will be opened. It is precisely in these institutions that the updated preparatory program for the youngest students will be piloted. An interesting point is that information about the transition to 12-year education had been actively discussed on social networks since 2023. However, at that time, the Ministry of Preschool and School Education officially denied these claims, emphasizing that the 11-year education system was in effect. The current decision shows that approaches at the state level have been reconsidered and there is political will to implement large-scale reforms. In the history of independent Uzbekistan, a 12-year education system has existed before. From 2010 to 2017, education was organized based on a 9+3 scheme, where students who completed grade 9 were required to continue their studies at vocational colleges and academic lyceums.

According to the President's decree, the ToshTech Technical University will be established in Tashkent city. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This new higher education institution will play an important role in developing modern engineering knowledge in our country and training competitive specialists. According to the decree, the university will have full independence in academic, financial, and organizational management matters. This will allow the educational process to be organized in accordance with international standards. Starting from the 2025-2026 academic year, a one-year preparatory course will be opened at the expense of the state budget. This course will help applicants prepare for complex subjects. From the next year, that is, the 2026-2027 academic year, bachelor's degree programs will begin operating at the university. Students will have the opportunity to receive education in modern subjects. Additionally, from the 2027-2028 academic year, master's and postgraduate programs will also be gradually introduced. Studying at the university will be organized on the basis of state grants and tuition contracts. Classes will be conducted not only in Uzbek but also in foreign languages. This will enable students to gain international experience and expand their knowledge further. The most important aspect is that all students admitted by the 2029-2030 academic year will receive completely free education based on state grants. Through this initiative, ToshTech Technical University will play a significant role in enhancing the engineering and research potential of our country, as well as creating new opportunities for young people (source: zamin.uz).
