During the visit of President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to the Jizzakh region on December 2, 2025, the tasks set for bringing engineering education to a new level, strengthening integration with production, expanding international cooperation, and training highly qualified personnel that meet labor market demands are being implemented at the Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute. These tasks are demonstrating concrete results today.
The Head of State particularly emphasized that one of the most important goals is to train competitive engineers by ensuring the alignment of education, science, and industry. To fulfill these instructions, the institute's staff is consistently conducting extensive educational and promotional work among applicants and their parents before the start of the new academic year.
These meetings are not just an admissions campaign, but an open platform where young people are helped to consciously choose a profession that matches their abilities and interests. During the meetings, applicants are provided with detailed information about the modern educational environment of the institute, the work done on digitizing the learning process, the activities of highly qualified teachers, the wide opportunities for students, and the conditions for obtaining quality knowledge.
Applicants are particularly interested in the expansion of educational fields starting from the new academic year, as well as the operation of modern academic buildings, information and resource centers, and innovative laboratories. These opportunities contribute to cementing theoretical knowledge with practical skills, developing students' innovative thinking, and training specialists who meet the demands of modern production.
During the President's visit, clear instructions were given to responsible persons regarding the work of the Automobile Engineering College, created at the institute, aimed at closely linking education with production, further developing dual education, training engineers according to international standards, and establishing an engineering college in nuclear energy and launching joint international educational programs. As part of fulfilling these tasks, active work continues to expand ties with foreign partners and implement new educational and scientific projects.
Most importantly, the promotional events allow young people and their parents to personally familiarize themselves with the opportunities created at the institute, get to know the learning process more closely, and make a decision about their future profession based on deep consideration. This is another practical manifestation of the strategic goals set by the President—the training of competent, competitive, and proactive personnel.
