Doniyor Togayev, a resident of Karshi district in Kashkadarya region, was provided with a modern bionic hand prosthesis through state social support.
According to the information, Doniyor lost the part of one of his hands in 2014 as a result of an accident. This situation caused him many difficulties in his daily life for many years.

The entrance exams were conducted to select talented youth, objectively assess their intellectual potential, and open up broad avenues in modern education. This task is one of the priorities in the country's educational policy.
Test assessments were organized at the branch of the Muhammad al-Khwarizmi Specialized School in the Syrdarya region in accordance with these principles for admitting students for the 2026–2027 academic year. The admission processes, which took place simultaneously across the republic, were also carried out at a high level in the Syrdarya region.
Candidates took tests in mathematics and English. The exams were organized in several locations: at the district unit of the Agency for Knowledge and Ability Assessment, in the hall of individual competitions of the Guliston Center for Training for Olympic and Paralympic Sports, at the specialized gymnastics school, and in the buildings of the Muhammad al-Khwarizmi Specialized School branch in Guliston.
This year, 3633 students participated in the admissions campaign. Safety, order, and objective assessment requirements were fully provided for them. All classrooms were equipped with the necessary technical means, ensuring equal opportunities for every candidate. This has become an important aspect of the admission system aimed at prioritizing knowledge and abilities over any other factors.
To ensure the openness of the examination process, parents were given the opportunity to monitor their children's participation in the testing online. This not only guaranteed transparency but also strengthened confidence in the admissions campaign.
According to specialists, in addition to subject knowledge, candidates are assessed on their ability for logical thinking and intellectual potential. Therefore, the admission process to specialized schools plays a key role in identifying young people who will become highly qualified specialists in science and digital technologies in the future.
According to available information, three classes were created for the 5th grade at the Guliston branch, with 24 students admitted to each, totaling only 72 people. This means that about 51 candidates competed for one spot. The high competition clearly demonstrates the growing authority of this educational institution, the quality of education, and the interest in the opportunities it provides.
Following the tests, the most suitable, knowledgeable, and talented candidates will be accepted into the Muhammad al-Khwarizmi Specialized School branch.
