It was emphasised that many youth programmes are being implemented in Namangan Region. In 2022, the state allocated 140 billion soums to empower unorganised youth and their entrepreneurial initiatives, which helped 6,500 young people find their vocation.
Talking about the projects and initiatives aimed at expanding opportunities for personal development of the younger generation, the President said the country is promoting the rule that at least two foreign languages and a profession must be taught at schools. Educational institutions and sports schools are being built in different regions. In this regard, Mirziyoyev said that they all should work in an integrated way and become a school of life.
