Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Singapore private university TMC Academy may open its branch in Namangan region.
This issue was discussed at the online meeting of the Deputy Minister of Higher and Secondary Specialized Education of Uzbekistan Uzokboy Begimkulov and the chairman, owner of the TMC Academy, John Lee, organized by the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Singapore in an online format.
The negotiations were also attended by the rector of Namangan State University Sobitkhon Turgunov and professor of the partner university of TMC Academy from the UK Timothy Botswine.
During the meeting, foreign colleagues were informed about the large-scale reforms carried out in Uzbekistan in the field of education, in particular in Namangan region, where one of the priority areas is to attract leading foreign universities to this area to ensure wide access of Uzbek youth to modern knowledge that is in demand on the international market.
The readiness of the Uzbek side was confirmed to consider areas of cooperation on the basis of a public-private partnership or through the opening of a private Singapore university in the Namangan region with the provision of appropriate support from the Ministry of Higher Education and local authorities.
In turn, John Lee, expressing gratitude for the offer to open a branch of TMC Academy in Namangan region, noted his interest in further elaboration of this issue.
He also stressed that in case of a positive decision by the Singapore side, the leading universities of Great Britain will be involved to jointly implement the most advanced educational standards in the process of teaching students at this university, as is currently practiced at the head university of TMC Academy in Singapore.
At the end of the event, the parties reached a preliminary agreement to hold additional consultations on the legislative aspects of the opening of the TMC Academy, as well as to study the possibilities of a visit of representatives of the University of Singapore to our country for negotiations in the Ministry of Higher Education and other relevant ministries and departments.
