In his congratulatory message to school graduates, President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev reflected on the role of the younger generation in the country's future. The head of state emphasized that today's youth are the greatest pillar of New Uzbekistan and the generation that will build the Third Renaissance.
This year, 472,000 boys and girls across the country are graduating from school and taking an important step toward independent life. On this occasion, the President sincerely congratulated all graduates, the teachers who provided them with knowledge, and the parents who worked hard in raising their children.
The head of state noted that for the first time this year, more than 11,000 students are graduating with gold and silver medals. This figure indicates growing attention to education in the country, increasing interest in knowledge among youth, and the formation of a competitive environment in schools.
The address specifically noted that today's life and labor market are changing very rapidly. New technologies, artificial intelligence, digital services, and modern professions are setting new demands for youth. A diploma or document is no longer enough; practical knowledge, skills, and concrete results are valued more.
“The labor market is now demanding practical knowledge, skills, and results, not just documents,” the President said.
Therefore, the head of state emphasized that it is important for graduates to know foreign languages, possess computer literacy, master modern professions, and be in constant pursuit of knowledge. In today's era of competition, those who study, learn, and work on themselves will move forward.
The President noted that every graduate can contribute to the country's development in the future as an engineer, doctor, scientist, entrepreneur, creative professional, or expert in another field. According to him, today's school graduates are the generation that will build the New Uzbekistan of tomorrow and strengthen the foundation of the Third Renaissance.
The address also mentioned the opportunities being created for youth. It was stated that 207 higher education institutions and 643 technical schools in the country are ready to provide graduates with modern knowledge and professions. It was also noted that 171 young people have been admitted to the world's leading universities.
Great opportunities are also opening up for youth interested in entrepreneurship. According to the President, banks are allocating 25 trillion soums in concessional loans this year. For startup projects, 100 million dollars have been prepared. This opens a big door, especially for young people who want to start their own business.
Furthermore, it was announced that major IT companies are ready to train at least 50,000 graduates annually in the field of artificial intelligence and provide them with high-paying jobs. This figure is a serious opportunity for young people striving for the professions of the future.
The head of state called on youth to read books, search for knowledge, and set big goals. He called the book a person's closest friend and most powerful weapon, because a knowledgeable person can find their way in any situation.
The address also cited the achievements of Uzbek youth in international arenas as examples. Chess players, football players, young filmmakers, and other talents are making the name of Uzbekistan known to the world today. This shows how high the potential of the new generation is.
At the end of his speech, the President wished the graduates confidence, courage, and determination. He called on the youth to believe in their own strength, not to be afraid of their dreams, and to always strive forward.
“Never be afraid to set big goals for yourself! Believe in yourself and always move forward!” said the head of state.
In short, the President called school graduates the greatest pillar of New Uzbekistan. At this moment, when 472,000 young people are stepping into independent life, they face both great opportunities and great responsibilities. Now the main thing is one: to gain knowledge, take action, and fight for one's dreams to the end.
