Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Under the leadership of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev, special attention is paid to the development of the system of preschool education and the quality training of children for school. In order to expand the coverage of children with local pre-school education, modern kindergartens are being built on the basis of public-private partnerships.

If last year in Surkhandarya region 11.6 percent of children aged 3-7 years old were brought up in 288 preschool educational institutions, then currently 355 state-owned and 177 non-state kindergartens enrolled 24.3 percent of the total number of children in the region. By the end of the year, it is planned to bring this indicator to 32.3 percent and cover 74 thousand boys and girls with modern kindergartens.

In the Godi Eram mahalla of Denau region, the Mehnat Farovon Khaet farm organized a non-governmental DOU "Smart Kids" with 150 seats. A kindergarten with a focus on teaching foreign languages, including English, Russian and Korean, teaches children in five groups. In addition, sports sections, music and art clubs are open.

In the pre-school educational institution, mainly children of military personnel from a nearby military town, as well as children of the local mahalla, are brought up. Of the 22 hired educators, 14 are military spouses.

The head of state got acquainted with the conditions created in the kindergarten, talked with the teachers. Children told the President a poem about the Five Initiatives. The head of state handed gifts to the pupils of the kindergarten.

The President noted that it is necessary to pay attention to the harmonious development of children, as well as to widely cover the good work of the entrepreneur who built the kindergarten.

“The fact that entrepreneurs are building kindergartens, understanding the situation in the sphere, is an aid to our policy,” said Shavkat Mirziyoyev. - Such kindergartens will focus on raising a child and compete with state kindergartens.

The presentation of mobile and modular kindergartens developed by the Ministry of Preschool Education and Uzavtosanoat Joint-Stock Company took place here.

As you know, the construction of kindergartens in inaccessible and remote settlements with a small number of residents does not justify itself. The solution to this issue is seen in mobile forms of kindergartens. The presentation told about Isuzu buses converted into a children's room. This mobile kindergarten, called Aklvoy, will travel to remote areas and organize activities for children. For mobile kindergartens, special parking lots will be built - playgrounds with an area of 2 hundred parts. All this will allow children to receive education in conditions close to traditional kindergartens.

Modular kindergartens assembled from sea containers will be able to serve up to 90 children. From the outside they will be covered with heat-insulating and frost-resistant materials. Inside, all modern conditions will be created, not inferior to ordinary kindergartens.

Responsible persons were given instructions on the widespread introduction of new projects in the system of preschool education, as well as on bringing the kindergarten coverage of children up to 50 percent next year.
