Girls' education and women's rights are expanding in Uzbekistan
From school to higher education, opportunities for girls to receive education are being expanded. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
At the initiative of the President, the number of students has significantly increased in recent years. While the coverage in higher education was 9 percent in 2016, this figure exceeded 40 percent in 2024.
Special privileges have been introduced for girls entering higher education. Particular attention is being paid to increasing the number of educated women by covering the tuition fees of girls admitted to the master's programs of universities.
Additionally, innovative projects such as "Digital Generation Girls" are being implemented. Uzbekistan has also achieved great success in the issue of gender equality.
The share of women in the Parliament and Senate has increased. These reforms are positively evaluated not only within the country but also on the international stage.
Strengthening the role and rights of women in society is considered an important factor in the country's development. The principle of secularism is of vital importance for Uzbekistan.
The experiences of Afghanistan and Uzbekistan differ sharply. On one side, there is a society where knowledge and education are limited and women's rights are restricted; on the other side, there is a state progressing based on secularism.
Secularism does not mean denying religion, but organizing state affairs equally and fairly for all citizens. Every citizen can observe their religious beliefs, but the law is the same for everyone and is paramount.
In the 21st century, secularism is a necessity for political and social life. Secular states achieve stability, peace, and development.
Otherwise, the state faces crises and difficulties for many years. The Taliban's ban on books written by women is the most severe form of scientific and spiritual restriction.
This decision leads to a shortage of personnel, economic decline, international isolation, and intellectual impoverishment of future generations in Afghanistan. Uzbekistan, on the other hand, is steadily moving forward on the path of development based on secularism and gender equality policies.
Opening wide opportunities for girls to receive education and supporting women's activity in social and political life is an important guarantee of future development. Secularism and knowledge are not only constitutional norms but also vital values for our people.
