Hereinafter, every student will have to study IT programs

Graduates of each university should learn to work in IT programs in their fields. This was announced today, February 22, at a meeting of video selectors chaired by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev on issues of accelerating digitalization processes in sectors and regions.

"For example, composing drawings for construction projects, making estimates, and creating infrastructure can be completed in 1-2 months based on specialized programs. It has been shown that young people abroad can study such programs at universities," the President's Press Service said.

In this regard, the Ministry of Higher Education and Digitalization was instructed to:

• study modern software products for training engineers-technologists in such areas as construction, geology, mechanical engineering, and transport, and introducing them in universities from the new academic year;

• to train teachers and students to work on new programs by connecting the IT park and its branches to such universities

In addition, a separate TV channel was established to teach foreign languages to young people in remote and suburban areas. The Ministry of Digitalization was instructed to ensure the placement of IT training courses and at least 30 percent of interesting content on this TV channel.
