Currently, more than 200,000 students are studying in private schools. President Mirziyoyev announced that a number of important reforms will be implemented in the education system.
Starting from the new academic year, unified state exams will be introduced for 9th and 11th-grade students. These exams will allow directing students towards vocational training or preparing them for higher education based on their abilities and interests.
Approximately 400,000 9th-grade graduates will be admitted to technical colleges. Young people wishing to enter universities will study subjects in depth based on their selection.
Thus, the results of the final school exams will determine the future path of young people. Graduates will have the opportunity to proceed to technical colleges or universities.
