The main purpose of the ministry

"The question is, what is the main mission of any ministry, any enterprise?" We also tried to ask this question to all the staff who have been working here when we first arrived. So what is the main purpose of the Ministry of Public Education? But it was a difficult question to answer. Everyone is busy here, 24 hours a day, on Saturdays and Sundays. But it is difficult to answer the question of what the main task of the ministry is. In my opinion, the main task of the ministry is to raise a highly qualified and comprehensively developed generation. If we want to make that a goal, we have to cut back on the tasks that we can't achieve. "

“We have tried to define three principles in our work: quality, fairness and transparency. If we follow these three principles, we will be able to achieve our goals. "

Raising the profile of teachers and intellectuals

"From day one, we tried to get feedback from people on their problems and solutions. Similar questions have been asked elsewhere before, but to my surprise, more than 3,700 suggestions were received in three days. Everyone in Uzbekistan has a school-related aspect, which may not be the case in other areas, but it is the school that gets everyone's work, everyone thinks about the future of their children. ”

“Unfortunately, we have been facing two issues lately. The first is the teacher's reputation in the community. The second is to raise the profile of the intelligentsia in society. "

It has been said that a teacher is as great as your father. But some local leaders are abusing it without realizing it. If a teacher is disrespected, overworked, abused, threatened, how can he be expected to teach tomorrow about the quality of education? "

About the real work of a teacher

"Instead of educating a highly qualified generation, the teacher is busy all day with paperwork and excessive forced labor. The teacher spends an average of four hours on paperwork. If we sum it up for all teachers, we have to pay more than 1.8 trillion soums for the teacher's paperwork. If the teacher didn't use that time for paperwork, he would be able to work on himself, prepare better for lessons, or earn extra money for his family by teaching extra lessons. ”

Parents' attitudes toward teachers

“We don't remember parents threatening a teacher when we were in school. And now it happens more often. It's a negative image of teachers, and we need to change that. "

"People used to want to be educated"

At school, rioters ridiculed well-educated students as "botanists" and "patriots." But now times have changed and those "botanists" have become billionaires in Silicon Valley. If we respect such people, we will have such experts. , our country will never be able to move forward. "

Decreased literacy

“Look at how far we’ve come. Let's take a look at the ads on the streets. There are many mistakes in Uzbek and Russian languages. We say 99.99% of our population is literate, but how accurate are these numbers? How well do our citizens traveling abroad, for example, to Russia, know the Russian language? Higher education, which covers only 9 percent of the population, also has problems. "Since gaining independence, Uzbekistan has maintained its quota for higher education, despite the rapid population growth."

"From a clean sheet"

“A lot of work has been done, but have they helped the ministry achieve its main goal? If analyzed, no. The leadership of the ministry has changed, and the president has ordered the dismissal of all heads of departments and divisions, "starting from scratch." Yes, there may be some problems, but without them, positive changes will not be possible. "

"The most important ministry"

“Earlier, the ministry had problems with support to influence the situation, but the president said HTV would be given every opportunity. I think that after that we will be able to fully protect our employees. "

Crowded schools

"It's a very complex issue, and it's not just about building new schools. For example, the demand for Russian-language schools has recently increased. It turns out that the Tashkent State Pedagogical University abolished the quotas for Russian schools a few years ago, stopping the training of primary education specialists. This is a complex problem. Many people think that the quality of education in Russian-language schools is better, and rightly so. ”

Fundraising

Ministry of justice.

“There should be no monetary relationship between teachers and students. But we need to make the transition to a market economy. How much money is being spent on schools? We need to analyze this situation as well. The President also critically considered this issue. It was instructed to review the entire financial system and have it managed by the ministry and the complex leadership [Cabinet, Deputy Prime Minister].

So far, a lot of money has been allocated from the general budget, but there is no answer to the question of where the money went. If we can ensure the principles of justice and transparency, the funds of the parents' council will be spent properly and purposefully. "

“When there is a monetary relationship between a teacher and a student, the teacher’s reputation and attention are lost, and the principle of justice is violated. During our two-day analysis, we identified schools that have eliminated the monetary relationship between teacher and student. A contract is signed with the parents and the money is transferred to the school's extra-budgetary fund through the cash register. These funds will be spent on news in consultation with the parents' council. For example, there are schools that have introduced supplemental feeding at the expense of the school in order to provide good food to the child in a centralized manner. If there is transparency in the allocation of funds for the school, there will be no objections. "

Centralization of the management system

"It's difficult to say that the system has a fully effective management system," he said. If the management system was fully operational, it would not be the case now. There are many reasons for this. The management system is very centralized. Everything had to be decided by the top management. We should give this to the owners from the center as much as possible. Our main focus is schools. A lot depends on the school principal. Some directors open additional clubs, generate additional income, but have to ask permission from the IBD to spend them. An employee at the IBU will allow it if he has a good relationship with the director, otherwise he will not. Why shouldn't he use the money he earns? The first thing we need to do now is review the governance system. The control system must be working properly. The most important thing is to build a good team. "

School uniform is not the main problem

“I read about uniforms on social media. There is a perception that headscarves, hijabs and other issues are the work of the Ministry of Public Education. Personally, I think we have a Constitution, laws. Everything must be done on the basis of the freedoms and rights enshrined in these laws. Addressing human rights is not the sole responsibility of the ministry. We have the relevant parliament, we have elected deputies, and if the legislature determines the right path, the executive branch, including our ministry, will implement it. So it would be wrong to take it in another direction. We, the new team, were not involved in the development of these procedures. A lot of attention went to school uniforms. Our main goal is the quality of education. We should not be distracted by secondary issues. "

Selection of school principal

"We are studying all the proposals and international experience - the experience of Finland, Singapore, South Korea and other countries. There is also research from a consulting company. But so far no decision has been made on how to organize it. This issue will be considered. Education is a conservative field. It is important to think carefully before testing in the field, as it may have negative consequences for the next generation in a few years. Populism is unacceptable here. "

Raids, raids, raids

"There are a lot of people involved in teaching today. Schools were inspected 207,000 times last year. We have less than 10,000 schools. The school principal, on average, has to deal with an inspector every day. Let's respect teachers, let's not interfere in their work, let's not interrupt the educational process. No one in Japan has the right to be a teacher. ”

Investing in schools

“Where are our people investing? Mostly for weddings or pharmacies. Foreigners asked what "Doriksona" (Pharmacy) is and why it is a brand everywhere. We need to create conditions for investors to contribute to the education system. "

Sherzod Shermatov called for the transition of schools to the management of HTV, the elimination of bribery in the external departments of pedagogical universities, the establishment of a teachers 'fund and the fair rewarding of teachers, the study of citizens' suggestions and appeals. the establishment of a center (now responsible for HTV’s 1006 trust number “half man”), a review of the functions of parent councils, and the need to openly discuss the issue of “closed” bulling.
