President: 6 million young people will be engaged this summer — “Every day is an opportunity”

On May 15, a selector meeting on school education was held under the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev. Along with the quality of education and priority areas, special attention was given to organizing meaningful leisure activities for youth during the summer break.

“Barkamol Avlod”, “Yoshlar” and Student Centers — under a unified system

Currently, there are 219 “Barkamol Avlod” schools across the country, serving 350,000 children. Additionally, there are 14 “Yoshlar” sports societies and a Republican Center for Student Youth. At the meeting, it was decided to merge these institutions into a single system and modernize them using creative and innovative approaches.

These centers will now offer clubs in English, artificial intelligence, programming, graphics, and animation. In Karakalpakstan, Khorezm, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Tashkent, 100-seat children’s tourism bases will be launched.

Summer for youth — not just a break, but a field of opportunity

Soon, over 6 million schoolchildren and more than 1 million students will begin their holidays. As the president noted, summer is not just for rest, but also a great opportunity to develop the creative, intellectual, and physical potential of young people.
