    On September 19 of this year, Minister of Higher Education, Science and Innovation Kongratbay Sharipov received John Pyle, Chief Manager of GWP Solutions, LLC (USA), and Rasul Rakhmanov, Executive Director of Webster University.

    The parties discussed the issue of developing a comprehensive strategy for the implementation of the vocational training center model for the Republic of Uzbekistan.

    At the meeting, an exchange of views took place on the preparation of young people for vocational education without admission to universities. Based on the capabilities of each region, it is proposed to develop regional trainings and personnel training.

    Noting that the issue of vocational education is relevant for our country, Minister K. Sharipov put forward a proposal to implement a pilot project to create a vocational training center in the Republic of Karakalpakstan within the framework of agreements with Webster University.

    Professor John Pyle supported this proposal, and the parties agreed to develop a pilot project program.
