In the past, famous football player Aleksey Popov expressed his thoughts on the summer transfers in the Russian Premier League. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.

Protests against military conscription are growing among Russian youth. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to a report from URA.ru, a survey conducted by "Novaya Gazeta Europe" revealed that 47 percent of young people aged 18 to 29 do not want to serve in the military. Participants in the survey cited the main reason as the danger to life posed by serving in the Russian army and that this decision conflicts with their personal plans. Additionally, there is an increase in attempts to evade conscription, leave the country, or escape through other means. Experts link this sentiment to the war in Ukraine, information pressure, and a lack of trust in the country's security. This situation indicates a sharp change in attitudes towards military service among young people and complicates the socio-political situation further. It is important for youth in Uzbekistan and other countries to pay attention to the issue of military conscription. To improve attitudes towards military service, it is necessary to enhance social support and trust. Furthermore, the personal plans and security needs of young people must be taken into account.

The ad.nl portal provided information about this. According to the publication, Davids found out several years later that his painting collection had been stolen.

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.

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).
