Uzbekhydroenergo Donates Books on the History of Uzbekistan to South Korean Library

Uzbekhydroenergo JSC has donated a collection of books dedicated to the history of Uzbekistan to the National Library of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea, as announced by the company itself.

State policy continues to place great emphasis on developing reading culture, enhancing the spiritual and intellectual potential of the younger generation, in-depth study of national history and rich cultural heritage, as well as broad promotion of these aspects on the international stage.

Initiatives put forward by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev contribute to preserving the centuries-old history, national values, and spiritual heritage of the Uzbek people, while also strengthening the significance of books, science, and education in society.

As part of the practical implementation of these educational initiatives at the international level, during a visit to the Republic of Korea, Uzbekhydroenergo JSC officially presented the National Library of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea with a collection of publications covering the rich past, statehood, cultural heritage, modern development, and trajectory of Uzbekistan.

This fund includes works by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, as well as educational and scientific publications about the country, its culture, and history, and books reflecting the modern development of Uzbekistan.

Of particular importance is the placement of the donated books in the Central Asia Pavilion of the National Library of the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea. These publications will serve as an important educational resource for Korean readers, researchers, students, scientists, the public, and foreign guests interested in learning about the culture, history, and modern development of Uzbekistan.

During Uzbekhydroenergo JSC's business trip to the Republic of Korea, alongside studying best practices in hydropower, developing mutual cooperation, and strengthening professional ties, activities promoting the rich history, culture, and modern achievements of Uzbekistan are also being carried out.

It is emphasized that a book is a memory that preserves the history of a people, a priceless source of knowledge and education passed down from generation to generation, and a spiritual bridge that brings nations closer.

School textbooks in Uzbekistan will transition to a new alphabet by 2031

Azizbek Turdiyev, Deputy Minister of Preschool and School Education, announced at a Senate meeting that all textbooks in Uzbekistan are planned to be translated into the updated Uzbek alphabet between 2027 and 2031.

Responding to senators' questions, he noted that the Cabinet of Ministers must approve the action plan for implementing the law on alphabet changes. Proposals have already been submitted by executive bodies and the Academy of Sciences. The Ministry of Preschool and School Education has prepared its proposals for updating textbooks and preparing teachers and students for the transition.

According to Turdiyev, textbooks are already being reissued according to the established cycle: first-grade textbooks are updated annually, those for grades 2–4 every three years, and those for grades 5–11 every five years.

The Deputy Minister emphasized that starting in 2027, after the law comes into force, first-grade textbooks will be printed using the new alphabet. He specified that the remaining textbooks will also be translated into the new alphabet between 2027 and 2031 as part of their scheduled reissue cycle, so no additional budget funds for updates will be required.

The Ministry is developing measures to assist teachers and students in adapting. Training seminars are scheduled across the entire preschool and school education system from August 24 to 28 before the start of the new academic year. Turdiyev assured that teachers and students will be informed about these changes and will be able to adapt to them.

The language of examinations after the amendments come into force was also discussed at the meeting. The Deputy Minister stated that exams will be conducted using the alphabet established by the new law, and there is no doubt about this matter.

According to Turdiyev, the transition in primary schools will begin with new textbooks, while educational materials for senior grades will be updated gradually. The Senate previously approved the changes to the Latin alphabet of Uzbekistan. According to the new version, the alphabet will consist of 28 letters and one apostrophe instead of the current 26 letters and three letter combinations. The updated version proposes replacing the combinations Sh, Ch, Oʻ, and Gʻ with the symbols Ş, Ç, Ö, and Ğ, and excluding the letter combination Ng from the alphabet as a separate unit.
