Shavkat Mirziyoyev: Our people will definitely see the result of the foundation laid today

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the Halima Khudoyberdieva School of Creativity in Gulistan.

At the initiative of the head of our state, large-scale work is being carried out throughout the country to perpetuate outstanding cultural figures of our country and introduce young people to their heritage. Thus, 9 schools of creativity were organized, including those named after Abdullah Kadiri in Tashkent, Ibrahim Yusupov in Nukus, Abdullah Aripov in Karshi.

Halima Khudoyberdieva, a native of the Syrdarya region, a national poet of Uzbekistan, made a huge contribution to the development of Uzbek literature with her unique talent, artistically rich and philosophical poetry, and journalistic works.

During a trip to the Syrdarya region in 2019, Shavkat Mirziyoyev proposed to create a school of creativity to perpetuate the name of the late poetess and create conditions for talented youth. After that, a corresponding resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers was adopted and in December of the same year the school was put into operation.

The Head of State laid flowers at the monument to Halima Khudoyberdieva at the entrance to the school, visited a small museum dedicated to the life and work of the poetess. Students of the school recited her poems.

In the school of creativity, along with general education subjects, native language and literature are taught in depth. Currently, 180 talented boys and girls study here. Classrooms, a computer room, a laboratory, a gym and a dormitory are modernly equipped. The school library has more than 3.5 thousand art books.

In a conversation with school teachers and representatives of the intelligentsia, they talked about the quality of education, reforms in the sphere.

- From the very first day, we have been making efforts to improve the quality of education, raise the status and authority of teachers. The relevant norms are also enshrined in the Constitution. As you can see, time is becoming more and more difficult. How will we withstand the competition? If we are educated. That is why we are reforming the content of education and creating conditions for young people. Years will pass, conditions will change. But our people will definitely see the result of the foundation laid today. Many more Bukharis, Beruni, Ulugbeks will come out of our youth," Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.

Instructions were given to assign universities to creative schools, expand their interaction with other schools in the region, and publish books by talented youth.

This was the end of the President's trip to the Syrdarya region, and the head of state returned to Tashkent.
