A new study conducted by the Yuksalish National Movement shed light on the complex and multifaceted problem of corruption risks in Uzbekistan's primary healthcare sector. This was reported by Upl.uz. The results of a survey conducted among nearly five thousand citizens participating in the study show a significant discrepancy between the official positions of patients and healthcare workers. Every seventh patient acknowledges the existence of informal payments, while the majority of healthcare workers participating in the survey, namely 56 percent, emphasize that there is no corruption in the field. A total of 4,800 respondents were involved in the survey across the country. Among them, 1,968 were potential patients, and 2,900 were employees of healthcare institutions. As noted by Yuksalish experts, corruption in healthcare not only undermines trust in the healthcare system but also obstructs citizens' right to receive quality and affordable medical care. This issue is one of the pressing matters for the republic. The survey participants among patients were evenly distributed between urban and rural residents, with 49 percent being urban and 51 percent from rural areas, ensuring the representativeness of the data across the country. Analysis of the responses shows that 65 percent of citizens believe that informal payments or gifts are not given when visiting polyclinics and family doctor points. At the same time, 15 percent of survey participants reported paying healthcare workers for services that should be free by law. Fourteen percent of participants refused to answer directly, while 6 percent ignored the question altogether. Among those who confirmed informal payments, 152 individuals stated that they did this voluntarily as "gratitude," 93 individuals indicated that it was directly requested by healthcare workers, and in 49 cases, there was mutual agreement between the parties. This indicates the formation of a system of informal rules. Despite personal experiences, opinions in society about the prevalence of corruption in healthcare vary. Only 17 percent consider this situation widespread, 39 percent believe it occurs "from time to time," 23 percent say it "rarely happens," and 20 percent responded that it "never happens." Citizens identified informal payments for maternity hospital services, requests for prescriptions from certain pharmaceutical companies, and "gratitude" payments for operations funded by the state budget as examples of corruption. When asked what measures to take when faced with inappropriate demands, 37 percent expressed readiness to contact the relevant authorities, 34 percent preferred to report corruption, 13 percent stated they would not contact anyone, and 16 percent could not provide a clear answer. Patients indicated low salaries, the societal norm of "gratitude" to doctors, lack of information, and low levels of digitization as the main reasons that drive healthcare workers to engage in illegal actions. The level of job satisfaction among healthcare workers presents a mixed picture: 36 percent are fully satisfied, 40 percent are somewhat satisfied, 15 percent expressed complete dissatisfaction, and 9 percent could not provide a rating. The most interesting result is that 56 percent of healthcare workers believe that there is no corruption in their field, while 29 percent answered "I don't know"

Famous footballer Edgar Davids, who played for Juventus in past years, learned that his acquaintance Nabila Habibi committed theft. This was reported by Euro-football.ru. 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. He had entrusted the collection to a trusted person. For a while, Habibi also lived in his house. While Davids believed the collection was kept in a safe place, Habibi stole 37 paintings, pawned them at various pawnshops, and received approximately 30 thousand euros. In 2017, when Habibi was unable to repay her debts, the pawnshops gained the right to sell the paintings. One of the buyers saw Davids' name on the back of a painting and contacted him through social networks. After that, Davids filed a lawsuit. Habibi admitted to the theft. Earlier, she had faced problems related to criminal cases and had left her acquaintance after taking 3500 euros from him.

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.
