Universities allowed to accept foreign citizens outside of admission quota

President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a resolution "On additional measures to improve the quality of education in higher educational institutions and ensure their active participation in the large-scale reforms being implemented in the country."

At the same time, foreign citizens will be admitted to universities through interviews, without passing tests.

The Uzbek leader instructed the Uzbek Foreign Ministry to issue visa visas for foreign citizens who had expressed a desire to enter higher educational institutions on the basis of visa applications, without charging consular fees or other fees.
