Tashkent hosted a meeting with foreign language teachers recruited to secondary schools in Uzbekistan.

Representatives of the Ministry of Preschool and School Education, the embassies of the United States, China, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, specialists from UNESCO, UNICEF, USAID, the British Council, the French Alliance, the Goethe Institute, local and foreign teachers were invited to the event.

It was noted that the country has been undergoing active reforms in education in recent years. In this process, special attention is paid to improving the quality of education and creating the necessary conditions for teachers. Based on the President’s idea, systematic work is being carried out to establish new foundations for teaching foreign languages to the country’s youth. To do this, teachers from developed countries who are excellent in their profession and have extensive teaching experience are invited to work in schools from developed countries. This creates opportunities for better mastery of foreign languages by the younger generation.

The event aims to popularize advanced foreign language teaching programs.

At the meeting, foreign partners proposed further developing the system of studying foreign languages in Uzbekistan. An agreement was reached on developing an action plan and cooperation.

Many innovations are being introduced to improve the quality of teaching foreign languages in secondary schools starting from the current academic year. Based on cooperation with foreign educational organizations, embassies, foreign and local recruiting companies, highly qualified teachers from abroad are attracted to educational institutions of the system of the Ministry of Preschool and School Education of the Republic of Uzbekistan to teach foreign languages.

More than 500 foreign teachers teach English, German, and French in schools. Foreign teachers in high schools teach lessons using textbooks and programs prepared by the publishing houses “Cambridge University Press” in the UK, “Didier” in France, and “Klett” in Germany.

Foreign teachers also teach students in clubs three times a week, and local teachers organize master classes and workshops three times a week.

Assistant to the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Saida Mirziyoyeva attended the meeting.
