Basically, the funds were used to improve the material and technical base of educational institutions.

Minister of Public Education of Uzbekistan Sherzod Shermatov said: “On behalf of the Ministry of Public Education of Uzbekistan, I express my gratitude for the support of the sphere of public education. Under the leadership of the President of Uzbekistan, large-scale reforms in the sphere of public education began in the country and we need to mobilize all the forces and opportunities for the successful implementation of the tasks set.”

“I hope that the leaders of other regions are also stepping up their work in this area. By investing in the education of children, we provide our bright future,” the minister added.

To raise the level of schools there is still much to be done and, therefore, local authorities need to allocate additional funds on a priority basis and pay special attention to the preparation of schools for the autumn-winter period, the provision of drinking water and the fencing of school areas.
