The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan adopted a decision No. PQ-209 on July 1, 2025. This was reported by Upl.uz.
This decision outlines measures to enhance the effectiveness of the education system at the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction and to integrate scientific research with practice. The press service of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Uzbekistan provided information about the decision.
The document establishes the foundations for reforms aimed at fundamentally improving the quality of training specialists in the fields of architecture and construction. As criteria for the university's effectiveness, it is envisaged to harmonize the educational process with practice and to develop a program for exporting scientific potential, aiming to establish the university brand by the end of 2028 and attract at least 1,000 foreign students.
Starting from the 2025/2026 academic year, the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction will transition to a full dual education system. This education will be organized on a credit-module basis, closely linking the educational process with enterprises in the construction sector.
For first-year students, 60 percent of theoretical education will take place in classrooms, while 40 percent of practical training will occur at enterprises. In the second, third, and fourth years, theoretical education will constitute 40 percent, and practical training will make up 60 percent.
One of the main goals is to include the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction among the top 1,000 universities in the world according to QS and THE rankings by 2029. At least 10 million US dollars will be attracted for extensive reforms.
These funds will be directed towards modernizing the university's material and technical base, equipping laboratories with modern equipment, and financing advanced scientific research. Additionally, a continuous education pathway of "School – Technical School – University" will be established.
Starting from September 1, 2025, schools No. 250 and 273 in the Yunusabad district will be affiliated with the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction. Monthly special classes will be held in the university laboratories for students in grades 7-9.
These classes will focus on geometry, drawing, and physics, directing them towards architecture, engineering, and artificial intelligence technologies. At the same time, students from profile technical schools and lyceums will also be assigned to departments and will participate in regular practical training.
To encourage scientific and innovative activities, an "University – Laboratory – Enterprise – Ministry" ecosystem will be implemented. Every year, a competition for the "20 best ideas" will be held among students and young scientists.
Winners will have the opportunity to implement their projects in the university's modern laboratories. Research results will be presented at a scientific-technical council with the participation of business representatives, and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry will test them in real construction projects.
Authors of developments successfully implemented in production will be rewarded based on a counting value of 35 basic calculation amounts (approximately 13,125,000 soums). Additionally, based on the most effective projects, the Ministry of Construction and Communal Services will have the right to improve existing regulatory documents.
A council will be established to introduce "green construction" subjects and technologies at the university. Its activities will focus on adapting energy-efficient and environmentally friendly construction materials and technologies to regional conditions, as well as developing standards and models for urban area improvement.
Management and educational processes at the Tashkent Institute of Architecture and Construction will be fully digitized. The circulation of paper documents will be eliminated.
Artificial intelligence will be widely used in evaluating educational programs and the effectiveness of practical training. The salary system for teachers will also be automated, ensuring precise analysis of performance indicators and minimizing human factors.
Additionally, starting from the 2025/
