The delegation of IT Park and MPE visited school No.9 in Tashkent!

On October 14, 2020, as part of the "Digital Uzbekistan - 2030" program, the delegation of IT Park and the state unitary enterprise "Center for innovation, technology and strategy" under the Ministry of public education paid a visit to secondary school No.9 in Tashkent. During the visit, the delegation got acquainted with the activities of the school and also discussed important issues with the school administration related to teaching children information technologies. 

It is known that the school focuses on mathematics and foreign languages. Also, students of school No.9 are taught computer literacy from the 2nd grade, and computer science classes begin from the 5th grade. 

It is also worth noting that the school has all the necessary conditions to use computers and learn information technology for educational purposes easily. Also, since September 1 of this year, the school has wholly switched document management to electronic mode, and instead of a paper magazine, teachers use only the platform kundalik.uz this, in turn, simplifies the work of teachers and school administration. 

There will also be an advanced training program for computer science teachers, a training program for students on the One Million Uzbek Coders platform, and courses for IT Park residents. Moreover, a project/startup management program will be implemented for school students, and teachers, circles on mobile robotics, cybersports, sports programming, and advanced computer science will be organized, field trips to IT Park, IT Centers, and offices of IT Park resident companies will be managed. 

As a result of the meeting, it was decided that IT Park will continue to support school No.9, introduce pilot versions of applications and products of IT Park residents, support projects of schoolchildren and teachers, and provide comprehensive support to school students in the field of information technology.

It is mentioned that on October 6, 2020, the decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan No. DP-4851 "On measures to further improve the education system in the field of information technology, development, and integration of scientific research with the IT Industry" was issued, within the framework of which IT Park will closely interact with school No. 9 in Tashkent in terms of developing IT skills among schoolchildren.
