IUT starts implementation of local faculty fostering

It is worth mentioning that IUT and Inha University in the Republic of Korea signed a memorandum on local faculty fostering program in November 2015. This document is aimed at organizing education of specialists from Uzbekistan at leading world universities.

Based on this programme, teacher assistant of IUT Khusanbek Gafurov started his studies at prestigious Sungkyunkwan University in the Republic of Korea.

Khusanbek Gafurov will study at Sungkyunkwan University for two years and after return to Uzbekistan he will contribute to training IT-specialists at IUT.

IUT Rector Sarvar Babakhodjaev said: “From the first years of its activities, administration of IUT pays great attention to attracting local professors to academic processes. Now, several professors from Uzbekistan, who received education background and work experience at foreign universities, work at IUT along with their foreign colleagues.”

“Within the local faculty fostering program, each year we are planning to send young specialists to foreign universities to improve their qualification and to obtain a PhD degree. We believe that we should focus our efforts to training of local faculty members along with upbringing young IT specialists.”

In his turn, Khusanbek Gafurov underlined: “I would like to express my gratitude to the administration of Inha University in Tashkent for this opportunity to study at Sungkyunkwan University. The leadership of Uzbekistan pays a great attention to the development of science and after I return to Uzbekistan I would like to contribute to the development of science in my homeland.”
